An MIT team develops 3D-printed tags to classify and store data on physical objects.
A novel antibacterial material combining nonwoven nanotextile and unique compounds with antibacterial properties was developed. Called NANO-LPPO, the new material can fulfil a wide range of applications. For example, as a dressing for wounds, such as burn injuries, by preventing infection and thus facilitating treatment and healing.
MIT neuroscientists have developed a computer model that can answer that question as well as the human brain.
A study reporting on the inclusion and participation of women in over 120 science organizations that are coordinated at a global level finds that women are still under-represented. It calls for a coalition for gender equality in global science to ensure a transformative action agenda.
Twist is an MIT-developed programming language that can describe and verify which pieces of data are entangled to prevent bugs in a quantum program.
The findings could redefine the kinds of particles that were abundant in the early universe.
Horses were first domesticated in the Pontic-Caspian steppes, northern Caucasus, before conquering the rest of Eurasia within a few centuries. These are the results of a study led by paleogeneticist Ludovic Orlando, CNRS, who headed an international team including a scientist from the Institute of Archaeology of the CAS. Answering a decades-old enigma, the study is published in Nature on 20 October 2021.
Catalog of planet candidates nearly doubles in size during 2020-21.
SMART breakthrough could help develop technologies that can identify materials according to desired properties for specific applications.
New research suggests ways to optimize US climate policy design for a just energy transition.
A scientific study published in Scientific Reports suggests that new health challenges may be emerging as a result of conservationists’ success in pulling mountain gorillas back from the brink of extinction.
Baby kangaroo feces might help provide an unlikely solution to the environmental problem of cow-produced methane. A microbial culture developed from the kangaroo feces inhibited methane production in a cow stomach simulator in a Washington State University study.
An air filter made out of corn protein instead of petroleum products can concurrently capture small particulates as well as toxic chemicals like formaldehyde that current air filters can’t.
Glacier National Park is home to around 50 Canada lynx, more than expected, surprising scientists who recently conducted the first parkwide occupancy survey for the North American cat.
A recent modeling study shows that bark beetle outbreaks in forests won’t necessarily cause bigger and more damaging wildfires — at least not for awhile.
Extra chromosome alters chromosomal conformation and DNA accessibility in neural progenitor cells; study establishes senescence as a potentially targetable mechanism for future treatment.
A pandemic survey found that adolescents who answered more COVID-19 test questions correctly also reported lower stress, anxiety and depression as well as lower loneliness and fear of missing out, also known as FOMO.
The discovery could offer a route to smaller, faster electronic devices.
Proportionally fewer rural public schools have the ability to get kids diagnosed with mental health issues than their urban counterparts, according to a study led by researchers at Washington State University.
A common chemotherapy drug could carry a toxic inheritance for children and grandchildren of adolescent cancer survivors, Washington State University-led research indicates.
