Photonic crystals are periodic optical structures that can control the flow of light. Multiple reflections from surfaces separated by a distance similar to the wavelength prevent an optical beam ...

Physicists have created a new type of time crystal that may help confirm some fundamental theories about quantum interactions. A standard time crystal is a new phase of matter that features ...

As you shop at the service station in REPO, you’ll notice energy crystals among the items. While a lot of the shop items are self-explanatory (guns? grenades? health packs?), these mysterious an ...

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., called out in a new interview what he believes to be "absolutely absurd" pandering to extreme Democrats over issues like the war in Israel or shutting down the ...

Chronic deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in articular and periarticular spaces as well as subsequent activation of innate immune system in the condition of persistent hyperuricemia are ...

We demonstrated for the first time that AMPK is involved in the regulation of intracellular ATP levels, even under glucose-rich conditions. Furthermore, time-lapse ATP imaging revealed that cells ...

Some small molecules can enhance PP2A activation. Short interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting TTP expression or PP2A agonist (Arctigenin) was administered to monosodium urate (MSU) crystal-induced J774A.1 ...

and an arthrocentesis several months later demonstrated urate crystals; in the second patient, CT identified gout in the wrist, and, despite negative arthrocentesis, the patient responded to gout ...
