A new era for ultrafast photonics: 2D mercury-acetylide frameworks for near-infrared nonlinear optics

Malignant tumor treatment remains a major challenge due to the limited precision and significant side effects. Copper-based single-atom nanozymes have shown promise for tumor microenvironment-responsive precision therapy, but their practical application is limited by weak substrate adsorption, difficulty in synthesizing low-coordination unsaturated structures, and limitations of conventional preparation methods. A research team has now successfully developed a coordination-unsaturated copper sin

Counterintuitively, despite the ongoing fuel crisis and the over two decades since the global phaseout of leaded gasoline, toxic lead still lingers in Metro Manila's air. By analyzing aerosol data from as far back as 2018 and 2019 using lead isotope fingerprinting, an international team including researchers from the Ateneo de Manila University Department of Physics and the Manila Observatory found that lead pollution has taken on new forms and quietly persists to this day. Their study, publishe

New technology enables the insertion of a large segment of DNA into a genome, potentially expanding gene therapy treatment from cancellation of disease-causing mutations to replacement of an entire gene, scientists say.

Nonconsensual condom removal by an intimate partner falls into a gray area of sexual violence, a traumatic experience that exposes survivors to health risks, which they are often expected to manage alone without medical assistance or legal recourse, a new study says. Published in the journal Communication Monographs, the findings shed light on a commonplace sexual violation and the social and institutional practices that silence victims and fail to provide needed resources.
