In a study aimed at assessing the impact of washing poultry on kitchen contamination, researchers found that more than a quarter of study participants contaminated salad with raw poultry – including many study participants who did not wash the poultry.
Researchers are rolling out a data set that provides detailed information on COVID-19 vaccine shipments and wastage across the United States, with the goal of spurring new data analysis to improve vaccination efforts in the future.
Researchers have developed a new membrane technology that allows for more efficient removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from mixed gases, such as emissions from power plants.
Semiconducting perovskites that exhibit superfluorescence at room temperature do so due to built-in thermal “shock absorbers” which protect dipoles within the material from thermal interference.
New research from North Carolina State University offers insight into why Facebook’s targeted advertising can sometimes be more like a wild pitch.
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have developed an implantable biotechnology that produces and releases CAR-T cells for attacking cancerous tumors.
In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers found a way to prevent electrical malfunctions in yarns designed to store electrical energy.
A groundbreaking study led by researchers at England’s University of Bristol has revealed a promising new approach to slow down the progression of diabetic kidney disease, a condition affecting 40% of individuals with diabetes.
The results could help turn up unconventional superconducting materials.
MIT engineers’ new technology can probe the neural circuits that influence hunger, mood, and a variety of diseases.
New research explores how Dyson maps are putting quantum computers to work in designing fusion energy devices.
PROTEIN MAPPING For the first time, researchers have succeeded in mapping the proteins in an old, frozen poop. The samples of dog poop are hundreds of years old and stem from sledge dogs at a settlement belonging to one of Alaska's indigenous peoples. The proteins give researchers new insight into the relationship between humans and sledge dogs.
By adding weak linkers to a polymer network, chemists dramatically enhanced the material’s resistance to tearing.
Baby kangaroo feces might help provide an unlikely solution to the environmental problem of cow-produced methane.
An air filter made out of corn protein instead of petroleum products can concurrently capture small particulates as well as toxic chemicals like formaldehyde that current air filters can’t.
The device emits a stream of single photons and could provide a basis for optical quantum computers.
RESEARCH The major cause of Parkinson’s Disease is a dysregulation of immune genes central for fighting against viruses, a new study reveals. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen show that this dysregulation leads to a malfunction in the cell’s powerhouse, which cannot produce sufficient energy for neurons to stay alive, causing them to gradually die.
MIT researchers characterize gene expression patterns for 22,500 brain vascular cells across 428 donors, revealing insights for Alzheimer’s onset and potential treatments.
SPERM COUNT New research from the University of Copenhagen and Rigshospitalet explains why some men produce no sperm cells at all, meaning that fertility treatment can never help them.
Over more than 50 years at MIT, he made fundamental contributions to quantum field theory and discovered topological and geometric phenomena.
