Our brains use basic ‘building blocks’ of information to keep track of how people interact, enabling us to navigate complex social interactions, finds a new study in Nature led by UCL (University College London) researchers.
IPHES-CERCA leads a study published in Nature on ‘Pink,’ a facial fragment discovered in Sima del Elefante.
This fossil has been assigned to Homo aff. erectus, a different and more primitive species than Homo antecessor.
This study confirms that Western Europe was inhabited by at least two different species of hominins during the Early Pleistocene.
Tracking targeted drug delivery is often a challenge due to limitations in the current imaging techniques. A recent study by Tokyo’s Waseda University reports a breakthrough imaging technique that allows direct and highly sensitive tracking of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) inside the body. This novel technique, which uses neutron activation of gold, could revolutionize cancer drug delivery by enabling real-time visualization of the gold nanoparticles without external tracers.
