Scientists who have described in a new study the step-by-step details of a bacterial defense strategy see the mechanism as a promising platform for development of a new genome-editing method.
From R&D to national lab/corporate partnerships, commercialization, and community engagement, Georgia Tech is at the forefront of developing and deploying negative emissions technologies, such as direct air capture.
Immersive virtual reality could open up a whole new world for people with intellectual disability, enabling them to learn practical life skills much faster without relying on caregivers, according to a new study.
While the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for medical diagnosis is growing, new research by the University of Adelaide has found there are still major hurdles to cover when compared to a clinician. In a paper published in The Lancet Digital Health, Australian Institute for Machine Learning PhD student Lana Tikhomirov, Professor Carolyn Semmler and team from the University of Adelaide, have drawn on external research to investigate what’s known as the ‘AI chasm’.
Yiren Ren's research explores music’s impact on learning, memory, and emotions in two studies. One reveals that familiar music enhances concentration and learning; the other demonstrates that music with a strong emotional tone can reshape the quality of existing memories.
Zhili Feng, a distinguished R&D staff member, and Jian Chen, a senior R&D staff member, in Materials Science and Technology Division at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will receive the Elmer L. Hann Award at the Society of Naval Architects and Maritime Engineers, or SNAME, Convention on Oct.
Researchers studied gene expression in plant/mycorrhizae symbioses by analyzing the roots of a model plant colonized by fungi and using a combination of techniques to measure gene activity in individual cells and visualize gene expression within two-dimensional sections of roots.
A pivotal study has pinpointed a gene module crucial for enhancing walnut trees' resistance to anthracnose, a widespread fungal disease threatening the walnut industry.
Every year, Pediatric Allergy and Immunology specialists at UT Southwestern and Children's Health Dallas field questions from parents who are worried about whether their older kids will be exposed to allergens or whether younger students will make good choices about swapping foods and snacks at school. It takes a community to protect kids with food allergies.
In a machine learning paper recently published in the journal npj Computational Materials, a team of researchers from Sandia National Laboratories and Brown University have introduced a universal way to accelerate virtually any kind of simulation.
Miniaturized fiber-optic magnetic field sensors have attracted intensive interests due to the superiorities of anti-electromagnetic interference and compactness. Scientist in China developed an ultracompact multicore fiber (MCF) tip probes for magnetic field and temperature discriminative sensing. The size of the whole sensing probes does not exceed the inherent outer diameter of the MCF, which means a significant reduction in the size of multi-parameter sensor. The technique will open new avenues towards the realization of an all-fiber miniaturized multi-parameter sensor.
An internationally collaborative study delves into how fluctuating rainfall impacts the development of sea turtle hatchlings, revealing that it has a more profound effect than changes in air temperature. Regional weather influences incubation and hatchling development and the impact of rainfall varies between species. For loggerhead turtles, heavier rainfall results in hatchlings with smaller carapaces (shell) but greater weight, while green turtle hatchlings grow smaller carapaces without a change in body mass.
Teachers, students, and their parents are navigating sensitive subjects such as phone bans, political polarization, and debates over curriculum and teaching methods. Binghamton University experts will discuss the controversies looming over our schools in a live Q&A with media covering the issues.
Every cell in your body holds a unique genetic code within your DNA, inherited from your parents. The segments of your DNA called genes determine nearly all your body’s characteristics and functions.
Using a polymer to make a strong yet springy thin film, scientists led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are speeding the arrival of next-generation solid-state batteries. This effort advances the development of electric vehicle power enabled by flexible, durable sheets of solid-state electrolytes.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology is sounding the alarm on over-the-counter eye drops advertised as eye color-changing solutions. These products are not FDA approved, have not been tested for safety or efficacy, and could potentially damage the eyes.
Scientists have developed an advanced label-free photothermal microscopy system using microtoroid whispering gallery mode resonators which enables the detection of single nanoparticles as small as 5 nm quantum dots with unprecedented sensitivity. This breakthrough, which achieves a heat dissipation detection limit of 0.75 pW, offers detailed 2D photothermal imaging and holds promise for applications in nanotechnology, biomedical research, and other scientific fields, paving the way for advancements in nanoscale imaging and characterization.
Scientists created a new ultra-thin source of entangled photons, a key component for future quantum technologies. This new source uses a special material called rhombohedral tungsten disulfide, which offers high quality and efficiency. It could pave the way for miniaturized devices in quantum information processing.
Korean researchers have successfully developed an integrated ultra-high-speed compander system, which combines a compressor and an expander, utilizing advanced design technology.
A proposed artificial intelligence tool to support clinician decision-making about hospital patients at risk for sepsis has an unusual feature: accounting for its lack of certainty and suggesting what demographic data, vital signs and lab test results it needs to improve its predictive performance.
