The device could help scientists explore unknown regions of the ocean, track pollution, or monitor the effects of climate change.
Inspired by jellyfish and octopuses, PhD candidate Juncal Arbelaiz investigates the theoretical underpinnings that will enable systems to more efficiently adapt to their environments.
Research shows that common chronic diseases and problems associated with oral health have a detrimental and long-term reciprocal effect on each other. To achieve the best possible treatment outcomes, the general and oral health of patients should be considered as a whole.
People accept human nurses overruling patient autonomy and deciding on forced medication, but this trust does not extend to nursing robots.
Researchers have identified a mechanism by which an oncogene commonly activated in cancer patients affects the growth rate of cells. In the future, the findings can help in developing new treatments that could prevent cancer genes from inducing tumor growth.
Supporting emotional connection between a premature baby and parent during the intensive care unit treatment effectively improves the baby’s brain development. The effects are clearly visible in the baby's brain network function and later neurocognitive development.
Changing the epigenetic marks on chromosomes leads to altered gene expression in offspring and in grandoffspring, demonstrating ‘transgenerational epigenetic inheritance’
The upside is that simple fixes will have a big impact
Like many sectors, health care has benefited from the rising use of artificial intelligence, but it has sometimes happened at the expense of minority patients.
It also triggered a monstrous tsunami with mile-high waves that scoured the ocean floor thousands of miles from the impact site on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, according to a new University of Michigan-led study.
Communities in the Great Lakes region need to start planning now for a future that may include “climate migrants” who leave behind increasingly frequent natural disasters in other parts of the country.
In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people’s hearts and abdomens swell, and their bones grow malformed.
Most people think termites are a nuisance that consume wood in homes and businesses. But those termites represent less than 4% of all termite species worldwide.
Open-source software enables researchers to see materials in 3D while they're still on the electron microscope
Population genomics compares the genetic variations in DNA within and between specific biological populations, looking at the influence over time of processes like natural selection, genetic drift and other factors.
Polyurethane locks in the antimicrobial power of tea tree and cinnamon oils. The new technology could start making public spaces safer within a year.
The new approach moves energy efficiently and could reduce energy losses converting light into electricity
Cancer cells delete DNA when they go to the dark side, so a team of doctors and engineers targeted the 'backup plans' running critical cell functions
The key to beating the heat is degrading the materials in advance
When some materials are cooled to a certain temperature, they lose electric resistance, becoming superconductors.
