Researchers have developed a new design for computer memory that could both greatly improve performance and reduce the energy demands of internet and communications technologies, which are predicted to consume nearly a third of global electricity within the next ten years.
Researchers have developed a 46-inch (116cm) woven display with smart sensors, energy harvesting and storage integrated directly into the fabric.
Researchers have developed a new method to display highly realistic holographic images using ‘holobricks’ that can be stacked together to generate large-scale holograms.
Humans are usually pretty good at recognising when they get things wrong, but artificial intelligence systems are not. According to a new study, AI generally suffers from inherent limitations due to a century-old mathematical paradox.
In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers used artificial intelligence to predict where flood damage is likely to happen in the continental United States, suggesting that recent flood maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency do not capture the full extent of flood risk.
Researchers have created new materials that are very stretchable and extremely tough.
The humble pine tree is more than just a common sight in North Carolina – it’s also a handy tool for monitoring the proliferation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in our state over time.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed and demonstrated a new technique for controlling directed evolution in bacteria.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed an automated technique that uses satellite imagery to determine when swine waste lagoons were constructed, allowing researchers to determine the extent to which these facilities may have affected environmental quality.
New research from North Carolina State University has found that an imprinted gene associated with development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is switched on in mice who nurse from mothers with metabolic syndrome, even when those mice are not biologically related.
A recent study has found that so-called “drug checking” programs have unexpected benefits, allowing public health programs to reach and work with people who use drugs who would otherwise not access services such as HIV testing.
When we think of climate change, we often imagine how a warmer world will impact species, but a new study highlights the importance of changes in precipitation.
CANCER Women with certain mutations in BRCA2 have an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. In a new study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen show that BRCA2 requires a specific enzyme in order to repair DNA damage. The result can pave the way for more targeted treatment of a group of cancer patients with mutations in BRCA2.
BRAIN DISEASE Meningitis is a very serious brain infection with limited treatment options. In a new study performed in rats, researchers from the University of Copenhagen present an alternative treatment based on immune cells that helps rinse away toxins that accumulate during the infection.
PANDEMIC In a new study, researchers from University of Copenhagen shows that the phenomenon cell fitness could predict the host immune response to a COVID-19-infection. The discovery could prove to be important for pandemic management.
The peptide blocks a hyperactive brain enzyme that contributes to the neurodegeneration seen in Alzheimer’s and other diseases.
The 2D map of this “disk wind” may reveal clues to galaxy formation.
If reactors are retired, polluting energy sources that fill the gap could cause more than 5,000 premature deaths, researchers estimate.
When astrocyte function is disrupted, neurons in the brain’s motor cortex struggle to execute and refine motion, a new study in mice shows.
The three-fingered robotic gripper can “feel” with great sensitivity along the full length of each finger – not just at the tips.
