Four scientists discuss X-ray experiments at SLAC’s synchrotron that reveal new insights into how a promising solar cell material forms.
In 2013, UNC School of Medicine researchers were first to show an association between variants in gene FKBP5 and posttraumatic chronic pain. Now a new study by the same research group has confirmed this association in a cohort of more than 1,500 people of both European American and African American descent who experienced motor vehicle collision trauma.

The device, about the size of a wristwatch, produces enough power to run a personal health monitoring system.
A study led by Columbia University cardiologist Mathew Maurer showed that tafamidis reduces deaths from a type of heart failure called transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. The drug could be one of the first effective treatments for the disease.
