An international research team has uncovered a surprising way compartments within cells work together to defend themselves ...

Molecules from the 20-million-year-old teeth of a rhino relative are among the oldest ever sequenced, opening tantalizing ...

When you blink, a layer of tears—called tear film—covers the eyes' surface. The tear film has these three layers: Meibomian gland dysfunction occurs when the glands on the edge of your eyelids (near ...

Motivated by the use of frontal polymerization for the manufacturing of thin layers with thickness down to ∼100 μm, we numerically and experimentally investigate the interplay between the exothermic ...

Electron transport layers (ETLs) play a fundamental role in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) through charge extraction. Here, we developed flexible PSCs on 12 different kinds of ETLs based on SnO2. We ...

Nano-Oxide Layers (NOL) have been introduced recently as a means to enhance the degree of specular scattering at the outer surfaces in a spin-valve, while still using metallic antiferromagnets such as ...

Patients with only dry eye had less severe lid margin abnormalities and orifice plugging along with tear film instability ...

From hydration layers to nanoarchitectures: Water's pivotal role in peptide organization on 2D nanomaterials by Kanazawa University ...

The tear film lipid layer is significantly altered in the presence of a contact lens. What's the impact to contact lens wearers?
