Pulse oximeters may provide inaccurate readings in individuals with darker skin so researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, are seeking ways to mitigate this potential bias.
New research from engineers at Washington University in St. Louis, unlocks the power of exceptional points (EPs) for advanced optical sensing. EPs – specific conditions in systems where extraordinary optical phenomena can occur – can be deployed on conventional sensors to achieve a striking sensitivity to environmental perturbations. The research is published in Science Advances.
A sleep apnea treatment known as hypoglossal nerve stimulation is less effective in people with higher body mass indexes (BMIs), according to a new study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown that treating mice with an antibody that blocks the interaction between APOE proteins (white) sprinkled within Alzheimer’s disease plaques and the LILRB4 receptor on microglia cells (purple) activates them to clean up damaging plaques (blue) in the brain.
As universities around the world strive to cultivate diverse and equitable communities, a recent study from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis highlights the necessity of recognizing age as a fundamental dimension of diversity.
A conveyer belt of ice jostles the entire Ross Ice Shelf out of place at least once daily, according to new research from Washington University in St. Louis.
Over the last 15 years, archaeologists have challenged outdated ideas about humans controlling nature. Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Xinyi Liu in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis argues for a new conceptual bridge connecting the science of biological domestication to early food globalization.
The devastating collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore will add another wrinkle to recent global supply chain troubles, according to Panos Kouvelis, a global supply chain expert at Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis.
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 1,300 students enrolled in a three-week summer immersion course, “The Pandemic: Science and Society,” at Washington University in St. Louis.
In a new paper published in the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Daniel M. Butler, a political scientist at Washington University in St. Louis, argues that elections should be certified by nonpartisan commissions, rather than elected officials, to insulate the process from partisan influence.
Corporate investors “buy low and rent high” to populations who can least afford it. A two-year national study, led by Carol Camp Yeakey at Washington University in St. Louis, will examine the impact that corporate investors have on renters, especially marginalized communities of color, in St. Louis, Cincinnati and Atlanta.
In new research published in JAMA Pediatrics, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis make the case that “thrive factors” are a key element of healthy human brain, behavioral and cognitive development.
In a first for the condensate field, researchers from the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, figured out how nucleolar sub-structures are assembled.
The studies that are frequently touted as proof of concept for a shortened work week are riddled with statistical flaws, according to Olin Business School's Liberty Vittert, who testified March 13 before the U.S. Senate Committee on Heath, Education, Labor and Pensions.
Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis are developing a prototype for an instrument for a future Moon mission with support from a nearly $3 million grant from NASA.
Nanomaterials already play a vital role in enhancing the performance of everyday products from electronics to cosmetics to food packaging.
Neutron star mergers are a treasure trove for new physics signals, with implications for determining the true nature of dark matter, according to research from physicist Bhupal Dev at Washington University in St. Louis.
When biologist Elizabeth Carlen in Arts & Sciences saw that squirrels were not being reported in north St. Louis, she wanted to know why. Her new paper in People & Nature illustrates how social and ecological factors can create bias in contributory science data.
