Scientists have successfully used microneedle biosensors to accurately detect changes in antibiotic levels in the body, for the first time. Small, non-invasive patches worn on…
A simple and sensitive urine test developed by Imperial and MIT engineers has produced a color change in urine to signal growing tumors in mice….
An experiment to test a popular theory of dark energy has found no evidence of new forces, placing strong constraints on related theories. Dark energy…
A new animal species related to crabs and shrimp, preserved in 430-million-year-old rocks in Herefordshire, England, presents a rare look at the respiratory organs of…
Scientists have found that molecular oxygen around comet 67P is not produced on its surface, as some suggested, but may be from its body. The…
The discovery changes our understanding of the basic mechanism of photosynthesis and should rewrite the textbooks. It will also tailor the way we hunt for…
The breakthrough means masers – the microwave version of lasers – could now be used more widely in a range of applications. Masers (microwave amplification…
In laser facilities in the UK, Imperial physicists are testing an 84-year-old theory which was once thought impossible to prove. The theory of the Breit-Wheeler…
Ancient microbes may have been producing oxygen through photosynthesis a billion years earlier than we thought, which means oxygen was available for living organisms very…
Scientists at Imperial College London have become the first in the world to test how pathogens interact with artificial human organs. Artificial human organs, or…
The enzyme complex ATP synthase is one of the most important molecular machines in the cell. It produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as the…
The presence of, or changes in the concentration of, certain proteins in biological fluids can be indicators of disease. However, in the early stages of…
Scientists from the Imperial College London have used data, rather than calculations related to general relativity, to measure large distances in the Universe for the…
A newly published study details how the spacetime curvature provided the stability needed for the universe to survive after the Big Bang. Studies of the…
Researchers used Escherichia coli to interrupt the biological process that turns fatty acids into cell membranes, channeling the fatty acids along a different biological pathway…
Researchers at Imperial College London have designed a new self-assembling nanoparticle that targets tumors, helping doctors diagnose cancer earlier. The new nanoparticle, developed by researchers…
Scientists from Imperial College London have discovered how to create matter directly from light using the technology that we have today. Imperial physicists have discovered…
Scientists have developed a new method for analyzing the pressure experienced by tiny samples of organic material that may have been ejected from dying stars,…
