Researchers have made significant advancements in developing health-focused food technologies by investigating non-thermal processing methods to alter starch digestibility. This cutting-edge approach aims to regulate postprandial blood glucose levels, offering a promising dietary strategy to mitigate obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Photons, neutrinos, cosmic rays and gravitational waves all carry information about the Universe. Multi-messenger astronomy brings together these four signals to investigate astronomical events from multiple cosmic perspectives.
Fotones, neutrinos, rayos cósmicos y ondas gravitacionales son los cuatro mensajeros que portan información crucial sobre las características del Universo y que permiten investigar los fenómenos astronómicos desde múltiples perspectivas cósmicas. Gracias a su avanzada tecnología, la cámara del Observatorio Rubin va a incrementar la cantidad de fuentes de mensajeros múltiples que se conocen, para obtener datos detallados de eventos específicos, localizando estos sucesos para que otros telescopios puedan realizar seguimientos.
Researchers have developed FerroX, a new open-source, 3D simulation framework that could advance record-breaking energy efficiency in microelectronics by unveiling the microscopic origins of a physical phenomenon called negative capacitance in ferroelectric thin films.
How do environmental factors affect the star formation process? To help answer this question, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope examined the fringes of our Milky Way galaxy. Webb’s near- and mid-infrared imaging capabilities enabled scientists to examine a star-forming area reminiscent of our galaxy during its early formation.
Imagine if veterinarians could spend more time on healing and less on performing surgeries to remove healthy reproductive organs. What if pig farmers could eliminate the painful practice of manually castrating piglets, reducing both animal suffering and economic loss?
Gazing out on a freshwater pond, you may see tiny green plants with oval shaped leaves floating in clusters. In overgrown ponds, these plants coat the water’s surface. These plants – called duckweed or water lentils – can grow so fast that they can double their numbers in just one to two days.
A pilot study shows that a new wearable lung sensor combined with deep learning can automatically detect wheezes, a common indicator of asthma and COPD
As artificial intelligence networks become more skilled and easier to access, digitally manipulated “deepfake” photos and videos are increasingly difficult to detect. New research led by Binghamton University, State University of New York breaks down images using frequency domain analysis techniques and looks for anomalies that could indicate they are generated by AI.
From hurricanes and precipitation patterns to drought conditions, artificial intelligence is quickly gaining ground as a powerful tool in predicting weather events. University of Miami researchers are part of the revolution, but challenges remain.
The Atlantic Marine Energy Center (AMEC), led by the University of New Hampshire, is working to develop the technology and skills that will help unlock the power of the sea as a renewable source of energy.
How the brain works is a question that has intrigued scientists for centuries, raising multiple hypotheses and theories. In 1996, statistical physicists attempted to explain how the brain uses a combination of excitatory and inhibitory connections to reach a balanced network similarly to magnetic models.
This project is part of a $15 million multi-institution effort to research ways to reduce per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances exposure from food and farming communities.
The digital olfaction company, Osmo, today announced the formation of its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) composed of leading experts in synthetic chemistry, analytical chemistry, artificial intelligence and sensor technology, to help propel the company's olfactory innovation across scent detection, digitization and creation.
A Korean research team has succeeded in developing a technology that can detect and predict signs of criminal activities utilizing real-time CCTVs and AI technology.
The United States Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs has selected Gregg Fields, Ph.D., Florida Atlantic University’s interim vice president for research, as a Fulbright Specialist Program grantee following a competitive application process.
A pivotal study has revealed the genetic drivers of red pigmentation in apple flesh, highlighting the critical role of anthocyanins and flavan-3-ols. By mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) across diverse apple families, researchers identified key genetic regions linked to this vibrant coloration, setting the stage for developing apples with deeper hues and enhanced health benefits.
A recent study has identified CaSLR1, a gene in pepper plants, as a key regulator of stem strength by controlling cell wall development. This discovery offers significant potential for agriculture, paving the way for breeding crops with enhanced resistance to lodging. Such improvements can lead to increased yield stability and reduced production costs, providing substantial benefits for farmers.
A research team investigates how varying levels of salinity, commonly found in municipal tap water, affect the growth and nutritional content of microgreens.
Scientists have discovered a genetic mechanism in pak choi that boosts drought tolerance by regulating ascorbic acid levels. By silencing the BcSRC2 gene, researchers found that the plant’s ascorbic acid content decreased, reducing its drought resistance. Conversely, overexpressing BcSRC2 raised ascorbic acid levels, enhancing the plant’s tolerance. This finding could guide future breeding strategies to help crops cope with water scarcity.
