Ten structures of URAT1 obtained by scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital provide a deep understanding of the mechanism of urate transport to guide gout therapeutic design.
The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) is honored to announce its selection for a pioneering cancer research project that will take place aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Hubble and Chandra have uncovered a pair of supermassive black holes that are just 300 light-years apart. They are buried deep inside the heart of a pair of colliding galaxies that will eventually merge to make a bigger black hole.
Dr. Jatuwat Sangsanont from the Department of Environmental Science at the Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, has been awarded the United Nations Public Service Awards (UNPSA 2024) in the ‘Innovation in Public Institutions’ category.
A newly published article spells out the work needed to assess the potential of ocean iron fertilization as a low cost, scalable, and rapidly deployable method of mCDR.
The Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) is pleased to announce the appointment of Professor Zhongfan Liu as a Senior Fellow, starting from September 2024.
Dr. Seung-Woo Lee and his team at the Quantum Technology Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed a world-class quantum error correction technology and designed a fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture based on it.
A catalyst that converts waste CO₂ to chemical products. A monoclonal antibody that could revolutionize the detection of tuberculosis. Both innovations were developed at rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and both have received 2024 Edison Patent Awards.
2024 JSA Postdoctoral Prize Winner Debaditya Biswas will combine different particle identification methods with machine learning to detect muons hidden in a sea of pions.
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science today announced a new research and development opportunity led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to advance technologies and drive new capabilities for future supercomputers.
A new study from the Good Food Institute (GFI), a long-standing World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) partner and alternative protein research and advocacy organization, indicates that a shift toward alternative proteins in the US protein supply would enable a significant amount of land to be repurposed for agroecological and regenerative farming and ranching as well as for habitat restoration and conservation.
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in scientific research is a top priority at the Department of Energy (DOE), which today announced $68 million in funding for 11 multi-institution projects, comprising 43 awards.
A team led by scientists at ORNL identified and demonstrated a method to process a plant-based material called nanocellulose that reduced energy needs by a whopping 21%, using simulations on the lab’s supercomputers and follow-on analysis.
The Department of Energy’s Office of Science today announced a new research and development opportunity led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory to advance technologies and drive new capabilities for future supercomputers.
Researchers from the Nevada Center for Astrophysics at UNLV have discovered compelling evidence suggesting that the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), is likely the result of a past cosmic merger. The study, published Sept. 6 in the journal Nature Astronomy, builds on recent observations from the Event Horizon Telescope, which captured the first direct image of Sgr A* in 2022.
