RESEARCH There is currently no cure for the heart condition ARVC, which usually affects young individuals. A new study from the University of Copenhagen presents a surprising new treatment strategy.
The findings could lead to faster, more secure memory storage, in the form of antiferromagnetic bits.
CANCER With cryo- electron microscopy, it is possible to examine proteins more than a 1,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. Now research using the technology may help develop treatment for some of the deadliest forms of cancer.
RESEARCH Cattle welfare experts rate the welfare of dairy cattle as lower than that of beef cattle, research from the University of Copenhagen shows. For this, 70 leading experts from across the globe rated the common dairy and beef production systems in their own country.
