Researchers have developed a technique that enables a robot to learn a new pick-and-place task with only a handful of human demonstrations.
A monoclonal antibody used to treat asthma and eczema can improve survival for patients with moderate to severe COVID-19, a clinical trial conducted at UVA Health suggests.
Scientists at the School of Medicine and their collaborators have used DNA to overcome a nearly insurmountable obstacle to engineer materials that would revolutionize electronics.
A gene that UVA Health researchers discovered is responsible for the deadliest type of brain tumor is also responsible for two forms of childhood cancer, the scientists have found.
Adults with chronic kidney disease are less likely to eat fruits and vegetables than similar people without the disease, according to new University of Virginia School of Medicine research, though the study found that many Americans eat few fruits and vegetables.
School of Medicine researchers have created an important new resource to provide a better look at how genes in specific cells contribute to the risk of heart disease, a leading cause of death worldwide.
In what is believed to be the first study of its kind, new UVA Health research reveals that a factory-calibrated continuous glucose monitor (CGM) may be sufficiently accurate for use by people on dialysis, a group often plagued by dangerous swings in blood-sugar levels.
A way to expand training data sets for manipulation tasks improves the performance of robots by 40% or more
One of the most terrifying aspects of cancer is its unpredictability: Some cancerous tumors are cured by treatment, while others shrink with treatment only to return later.
A new Yale study reveals insights into how Omicron subvariants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus evade destruction by T cells.
Preeclampsia is a dangerous complication during pregnancy that endangers both the mother and fetus, but clinicians still don’t have an effective way of predicting who will develop it.
The process of reverse osmosis has proven to be the state-of-the-art method for removing salt from seawater and increasing access to clean water.
Researchers in the Department of Neurosurgery at Yale School of Medicine have discovered the immune-mediated pathobiological process underlying two common types of acquired hydrocephalus.
Since Russell and Burch (1959) suggested the principles of replacement, reduction, and refinement (3Rs) as a foundation for animal research, their influence has only grown in the research community.
A Yale School of Public Health study has found that older persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a common type of memory loss, were 30% more likely to regain normal cognition if they had taken in positive beliefs about aging from their culture, compared to those who had taken in negative beliefs.
Researchers at MIT are digging deeper into why touch stimuli can sometimes decrease pain.
Researchers at MIT and Harvard University have developed a new technique to manipulate neuron activity that could help better understand brain processes and disorders and help develop targeted therapies for neurological conditions.
MIT CSAIL scientists created an algorithm to solve one of the hardest tasks in computer vision: assigning a label to every pixel in the world, without human supervision.
A new machine-learning system may someday help driverless cars predict the next moves of nearby drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians in real-time.
MIT engineers Edward Adelson and Sandra Liu duo develop a robotic gripper with rich sensory capabilities.
