Concert halls, movie theaters, and museums are home to a kaleidoscope of art forms, but one thing they all have in common is the potential to inspire feelings of awe.
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new approach to federated learning that allows them to develop accurate artificial intelligence (AI) models more quickly and accurately.
Researchers have created an inhalable COVID-19 vaccine that is shelf stable at room temperature for up to three months, targets the lungs specifically and effectively, and allows for self-administration via an inhaler.
According to a new Finnish study, birds overwintering on arable land experienced fastest northward shifts due to climate change compared with birds of the same species overwintering in urban and forest habitats.
The share of walking in cities should increase, but challenges remain. A recent study by the Digital Geography Lab group reveals what effect age, winter conditions and the service network have on the 15-minute city.
A study conducted at the University of Helsinki, Finland set out to determine how 13 dog breeds performed in various cognitive tests. With a sample size of over 1,000 dogs, the researchers found several breed differences in traits such as social cognition, problem-solving ability, and inhibitory control.
Induced pluripotent stem cells offer great therapeutic potential and are a valuable tool for understanding how different diseases develop. New research shows that such stem cell lines should be regularly screened for genetic mutations to ensure the accuracy of the disease models.
Organisms have developed unique and highly optimal strategies to cater for their energetic needs. Recent study found a unique tubular structure that serves the specialized functional requirements of a certain mitochondria.
Common wisdom suggests that a core difference between solitude and loneliness is choice.
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have discovered a mechanism that allows plants to regulate the ratio of produced wood (i.e. xylem) and phloem. Both tissues are formed by the vascular cambium. The discovery is important for understanding the factors that regulate tree growth.
The device could help workers locate objects for fulfilling e-commerce orders or identify parts for assembling products.
Analyses show stakeholders of all levels must get involved in decarbonizing pavements to reach climate goals.
Upon infection, many viruses can remain permanently in the human body and may shape our health in ways not yet fully understood. New observations add a new chapter to the human microbiome, providing a blueprint of the organs in which these viruses persist.
Researchers from the University of Helsinki, in collaboration with their Canadian colleagues, have demonstrated how strawberry inflorescence development is dictated by the small growing points, called meristems. This research provides tools for plant breeding based on genetic information.
Do we want robots to save as many people as possible or the one who most deserves to be saved?
Disordered eating can influence a person’s health and well-being throughout their lifetime.
Research led by the University of Helsinki has succeeded in showing how the accumulation of a harmful protein causing memory disorders, among other things, is blocked by a so-called PREP inhibitor.
A new method for removing the greenhouse gas from the ocean could be far more efficient than existing systems for removing it from the air.
