Understanding Transplanted Liver Cells for Regenerative Therapies
3+ hour, 35+ min ago (170+ words) by Francina Agosti | May 18, 2026 However, it is still unclear how transplanted mature liver cells can switch into a growth-ready state to repair damaged parts of the liver. "Understanding donor hepatocyte proliferation biology is key to overcoming these hurdles," wrote a…...
Call for a standard framework for triboelectric nanogenerators
3+ hour, 33+ min ago (396+ words) by Advanced Science News | May 18, 2026 Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are devices that use the triboelectric effect to generate electricity via the repeated sliding or tapping contact of two materials. The triboelectric effect is simply the phenomenon whereby electrical charge transfers from…...
Ce B" surface reconstructions force a rethink of bulk electronic behavior
3+ hour, 34+ min ago (520+ words) by Surbhi Jain | May 18, 2026 For decades, scientists have relied on surface-sensitive measurements to understand how cubic hexaboride materials like cerium hexaboride (Ce B) behave at the electronic level. But a new study suggests that these observations may not always tell the…...
First objective framework for decoding fossil brain imprints
3+ hour, 36+ min ago (213+ words) by Sukanya Charuchandra | May 18, 2026 The fossilized skulls of our ancient ancestors hold faint impressions of the brains that once pressed against them, but reading those marks has been quite subjective. Now, researchers have established a framework, based on comparative imaging…...
