UCI's CalTeach Science and Math Program, the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences and Google today announced a partnership to address the country's shortage of computer science teachers.The grant from Google to fund this effort is $300,000.
Pancreatic beta cells help maintain normal blood glucose levels by producing the hormone insulin — the master regulator of energy (glucose). Impairment and the loss of beta cells interrupts insulin production, leading to type 1 and 2 diabetes. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have, for the first time, mapped out pathways that regulate beta cell growth that could be exploited to trick them to regenerate.
UAB and Guideway Care have announced a partnership to expand the reach of UAB’s cancer navigation program to patients nationally to help guide them through the complex challenges and barriers that cancer treatment presents.
Designed molecules will provide positive impacts in energy production by selectively removing unwanted ions from complex solutions.
UCLA scientists have discovered specific genetic changes in the placentas of women who gave birth to growth-restricted infants.
A new University of Washington study finds that smartphone apps to track menstrual cycles often disappoint users with a lack of accuracy, assumptions about sexual identity or partners, and an emphasis on pink and flowery form over function and customization.
DHS S&T has awarded $9.7 million to 12 small businesses for 13 Phase II contracts through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.
The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego has been granted a supplemental award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to double the number of graphic processing units, or GPUs, on its petascale-level Comet supercomputer in direct response to growing demand for GPU computing across a wide range of research domains.
The no-fee projects focuses on the best way to provide small businesses early notifications of possible internet-based scams.
Astronomers have confirmed a nearby star's planetary system contains separate belts of asteroids, similar to our own solar system. The star is also about one-fifth the age of our sun. All this makes the star a good model of the early days of our solar system.
SPOKANE, Wash. – With two bee apiaries at the Hemmingson Center Roof Garden and one at Bozarth Mansion, Gonzaga University has become the 25th educational institution in the nation – and first in the state of Washington – to be a certified affiliate of the Bee Campus USA program, designed to marshal educational institutions to benefit these endangered pollinators.
Enhanced software tools will accelerate gene discovery and characterization, vital for new forms of fuel production.
Some of the nation’s best and brightest clinical and scientific minds will see their achievements highlighted as part of the annual Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) Research Days taking place throughout the month beginning May 2.
On Monday, the Yale School of Medicine, partnering with Yale New Haven Hospital, took the next step toward personalized medicine, cutting the ribbon on its Center for Genome Analysis on Yale’s West Campus.
Wayne State University received notice from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences of the National Institutes of Health of the $7.5 million renewal for five years of the Center for Urban Responses to Environmental Stressors (CURES). The previous NIH grant for CURES totaled $2.4 million for three years.
The structure of the social network to which a person belongs could shape how their brain responds to social exclusion, according to a new study led by a Michigan State University researcher.
Lawrence Livermore National Lab scientists and academic collaborators have achieved a breakthrough in the synthesis of transparent glass using 3D printing, a development that could ultimately lead to altering the design and structure of lasers and other devices that incorporate optics. The research could allow the 3D printing of glass that incorporates different refractive indices in a single flat optic, as opposed to the special shapes required for constant composition glasses to achieve similar lensing characteristics. Due to the ability to program the composition, the researchers said, printed components would be easier and cheaper to finish.
A mysterious gamma-ray glow at the center of the Milky Way is most likely caused by pulsars. The findings cast doubt on previous interpretations of the signal as a potential sign of dark matter.
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have discovered why some cancers may reoccur after years in remission.
