The University of Bristol announced that researchers have found how repetitive cocaine use increases the amount of addictiveness.
Tactile stimulation improved motor performance, reduced phosphorylated tau, preserved neurons and synapses, and reduced DNA damage, a new study shows.
Using insights into how people intuit others’ emotions, researchers have designed a model that approximates this aspect of human social intelligence.
A study inspired by the Japanese paper-cutting art provides a blueprint for designing shape-shifting materials and devices.
Undergraduate research helped feed physics and EECS major Thomas Bergamaschi’s post-MIT interest in tackling challenges.
Astronomers discover the last three planets the Kepler telescope observed before going dark.
A new study shows lawyers find simplified legal documents easier to understand, more appealing, and just as enforceable as traditional contracts.
The new findings could explain biodiversity hotspots in tectonically quiet regions.
Statistics tools support the idea that all radio bursts may repeat if observed long enough.
CRISPR The CRISPR-Cas9 technology might soon see itself surpassed by a new and smaller cousin, CRISPR-Cas12j. It was recently discovered that the defense system of bacteriophages called CRISPR-Cas12j, also known as Cas-phi can also be used for gene editing. Now, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have mapped the structure of CRISPR-Cas12j to know exactly how it functions and how it can be used for genome editing in plants and humans.
It’s more important than ever for artificial intelligence to estimate how accurately it is explaining data.
A liquid nitrogen spray developed by Washington State University researchers can remove almost all of the simulated moon dust from a space suit, potentially solving what is a significant challenge for future moon-landing astronauts.
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.
RESEARCH Six weeks of physical exercise led to changes in the epigenetic information of skeletal muscle cells in young men. These changes took place in areas of the genome that have been linked to disease. Scientists at the University of Copenhagen say their research shows, for the first time, how exercise remodels DNA in skeletal muscle, so that new signals are established to keep the body healthy.
Researchers create a new simulation tool for robots to manipulate complex fluids in a step toward helping them more effortlessly assist with daily tasks.
FORSKNING Sand is the most used mineral in the world. But we do not have endless amounts of it, and a new review study conducted at the University of Copenhagen reveals that the sand industry is in direct conflict with more than half of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
A viable formula for a carbon-negative, environmentally friendly concrete that is nearly as strong as regular concrete has been developed at Washington State University.
A robotic bee that can fly fully in all directions has been developed by Washington State University researchers.
