Using methods from conservation science, a new analysis suggests that the first case of COVID-19 arose between early October and mid-November, 2019 in China, with the most likely date of origin being November 17.
With FabO, PhD student Dishita Turakhia wants to empower students to learn digital fabrication by making video game objects and characters come alive.
An international research team headed by Michal Hocek of the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IOCB Prague) and Charles University and Ciara K. O’Sullivan of Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) in Spain have developed a novel method for labelling DNA, which in the future can be used for sequencing DNA by means of electrochemical detection. The researchers presented their results in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Researchers from the Nano-optics research team have developed a new technology that allows composing a three-dimensional image from a constantly moving sample using an optical microscope. The prestigious journal Nature Communications reported about the new patented method today.
A quick, affordable diagnostic test developed by a Washington State University researcher may help curb one of the most prevalent but least discussed sexually transmitted infections.
An online “e-health” program helped more people with chronic pain reduce their opioid medications and pain intensity than a control group that had only regular treatment in a recent clinical study.
Researchers have long known that many animals live longer in colder climates than in warmer climates. New research in C. elegans nematode worms suggests that this phenomenon is tied to a protein found in the nervous system that controls the expression of collagens, the primary building block of skin, bone and connective tissue in many animals.
Even people who tend to think conventionally, such as accountants or insurance adjusters, can be creative, a recent study suggests, if they can look at emotional situations in a different light.
Fear of what could go wrong is the greatest motivator when it comes to getting remote workers to protect their employer’s information technology security, according to a recent study in Computers & Security.
Researchers from the University of Virginia (UVA) have developed a mathematical tool that can filter out noise and bias from large sets of data about the building blocks of our chromosomes, which could advance genomics and disease research.
A new study shows that a high-tech, scalpel-free form of brain surgery pioneered at the University of Virginia could offer long-term relief for patients with essential tremor, a common movement disorder.
A potentially deadly infection has a dangerous ally lurking in the human body, and researchers at the University of Virginia's School of Medicine, along with collaborators from other institutions, have uncovered how certain microorganisms found in the gut can worsen potentially deadly C. difficile infections.
A COVID-19 booster shot increases durability of antibody response, according to new research from the University of Virginia School of Medicine, which has shed light on the benefits of a booster.
A recent study from North Carolina State University finds that companies can address “quiet quitting” among employees by ensuring employees spend time with other people who identify with the company.
A recent study of the gut microbiome of Alaskan brown bears (Ursus arctos) shows that the microbial life in bears’ guts allows them to achieve comparable size and fat stores while eating widely different diets.
Smoke from a Siberian wildfire may have transported enough nitrogen to parts of the Arctic Ocean to amplify a phytoplankton bloom, according to new research from North Carolina State University and the International Research Laboratory Takuvik (CNRS/Laval University) in Canada.
A new study drawing on data from Texas and surrounding states finds that the most common strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power generation also produce enough health benefits to completely offset the cost of these “decarbonization” efforts.
A new paper on cybervetting says that organizations need to develop and implement clearly defined rules regarding how they use online information about job candidates.
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of Texas at Austin defined the structure of a substrate-bound iron 2-oxoglutarate (Fe/2OG) enzyme to explore whether these enzymes could be used to create a wide array of molecules.
A new study led by a North Carolina State University researcher reveals lessons about how award-winning instructors design and deliver online “bichronous” courses, which blend elements of real-time synchronous instruction, and self-paced, or asynchronous, activities.
