McMaster researchers have developed an on-the-spot rapid test for salmonella that is easier to conduct than a home COVID test.
Post-doctoral research fellow Sneha Shanbhag and PhD candidate Rong Wu from McMaster’s Centre of Excellence in Protective Equipment and Materials have developed an effective compostable and breathable air filter made from corn-based protein.
Jianping Xu is a professor of biology at McMaster University and a member of the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research.
McMaster University professor Neeraj Narula has discovered that consuming large amounts of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) can increase the risk of Crohn’s disease, but not ulcerative colitis (UC).
University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers have developed a new method for targeting tumors with cancer drugs by exploiting the clotting propensity of blood platelets.
In an advance they consider a breakthrough in computational chemistry research, University of Wisconsin–Madison chemical engineers have developed a model of how catalytic reactions work at the atomic scale.
Factoring in changing demographics and physician work trends can help with physician workforce planning, according to a new analysis by McMaster University researchers.
For a long time, scientists have debated whether or not growing up with a cat or a dog would influence either the risk of allergy or an asthmatic condition. A new study from the University of Copenhagen brings answers to the table.
A new study shows how large language models like GPT-3 can learn a new task from just a few examples, without the need for any new training data.
A global study involving McMaster University researchers including (from left to right) Anthony Chan, Davide Matino and Alfonso Iorio has trialled a potential new treatment that could be a game-changer for people living with hemophilia A.
The system’s simple repeating elements can assemble into swimming forms ranging from eel-like to wing-shaped.
Young people’s mental health has not been affected by the two corona lockdowns, a new study from the University of Copenhagen concludes. But in the short run, it did suffer temporarily.
Tobacco users in Canada are exposed to higher levels of cyanide than smokers in lower-income nations, according to a large-scale population health study from McMaster University.
MIT engineers developed organic polymers that can efficiently convert signals from biological tissue into the electronic signals used in transistors.
Stacking light-emitting diodes instead of placing them side by side could enable fully immersive virtual reality displays and higher-resolution digital screens.
Since the beginning of March, India and Pakistan and large parts of South Asia experienced prolonged heat, that at the time of writing, May 2022, still hasn’t subsided.
A new computational framework could help researchers design granular hydrogels to repair or replace diseased tissues.
With this microfluidic device, researchers modeled how sickled blood cells clog the spleen’s filters, leading to a potentially life-threatening condition.
A new measure can help scientists decide which estimation method to use when modeling a particular data problem.
People who use drugs are more affected by HIV compared to the general population in Tanzania. In the last few years, the prevalence of HIV among people who use drugs has decreased but women who use drugs are disproportionately more affected. This may be due to inadequate access to harm reduction services, a new study finds.
