Plasma engineers and chemists at the University of Illinois demonstrated a sustainable way of forming carbon-carbon bonds — the bedrock of all organic compounds — without expensive rare metals that are typically required as catalysts.
Plant biologist James O’Dwyer and graduate student Kenneth Jops report in Nature the development of a method that reliably predicts the complementary life histories of pairs of plants that manage to thrive while competing for many of the same resources.
15 years of archaeological work in the Tam Pa Ling cave in Laos has yielded a reliable chronology of early human occupation of the site, scientists report in Nature Communications. Excavations reveal that humans lived in the area for at least 70,000 years – and likely even longer.
A study analyzing wildfire smoke exposure across the continental U.S. from 2007-2019 found that increases in smoke exposure cause significant decreases in earnings and employment outcomes for U.S. workers across a wide variety of sectors, including manufacturing, crops production, and transportation.
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and collaborators at Merck & Co. developed a rapid and efficient method of making large quantities of metabolites directly from a drug or drug precursors via carbon-hydrogen oxidation catalysis.
University of Illinois scientists have identified a protein that plays a critical role in the action of several emerging cancer therapies. The discovery will likely aid efforts to fine-tune the use of immunotherapies against several challenging cancers.
CAR-T immune therapies could be effective against solid tumors if the right targets are identified, a new study led by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers suggests. The researchers successfully deployed CAR-T in a mouse model of ovarian cancer, a type of aggressive, solid-tumor cancer that has eluded such therapies until now.
Cholesterol plays many critical roles in biology and medicine. Researchers have revealed for the first time how cholesterol behaves in cells at the atomistic level, information that could have broad implications for future studies of health and disease.
Research from the University of Illinois shows that a person’s own behavior is the primary driver of how they treat others during brief zero-sum-game competitions, carrying more weight than the attitudes and behaviors of others. Generous people tend to reward generous behavior and selfish individuals often punish generosity and reward selfishness – even when it costs them.
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign demonstrated a way to use electricity to recycle polyoxymethylene (POM), a form of plastic that’s growing in use but more challenging to recycle.
