Fortifying foods with new polymer particles containing vitamin A could promote better vision and health for millions of people.
Contrary to what one might expect, air quality did not improve during mild covid-19 lockdowns in all cities. In fact, the emission of harmful gasses from transport has in some places increased, even during stringent covid-19 lockdowns, research from the University of Copenhagen shows.
Harnessing these protective molecules may offer a new way to treat the disease, which spreads through contaminated water.
This computational tool can generate an optimal design for a complex fluidic device such as a combustion engine or a hydraulic pump.
In Denmark, more and more people suffer from overweight and obesity. A new study suggests that children with parents with obesity begin to develop overweight and obesity at earlier ages than children with parents with normal-weight. This may result in an increase in serious diseases.
Western Central Europe, North America, China, and other parts of the Northern Hemisphere faced water shortages, extreme heat, and soil moisture drought conditions throughout the summer of 2022.
Researchers used a powerful deep-learning model to extract important data from electronic health records that could assist with personalized medicine.
We typically associate Parkinson’s disease with symptoms such as tremors, impaired balance, and joint stiffness. But with the diagnosis also come various oral health issues, new research reveals.
New technique significantly reduces training and inference time on extensive datasets to keep pace with fast-moving data in finance, social networks, and fraud detection in cryptocurrency.
