As The California Sea Lion Population Got Bigger, So Did Male Sea Lions

Unlike other marine mammals, male California sea lions have gotten bigger over the past 50 years as their population has grown

Deep Neural Network Provides Robust Detection Of Disease Biomarkers In Real Time

Sophisticated systems for the detection of biomarkers — molecules such as DNA or proteins that indicate the presence of a disease — are crucial for real-time diagnostic and disease-monitoring devices.

New CRISPR-based tool inserts large DNA sequences at desired sites in cells

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) continue to enhance the CRISPR gene-editing system, creating a new tool that can remove damaged genes and replace them with new genes in an effective and safe method.

Nanowire Transistor With Integrated Memory To Enable Future Supercomputers

For many years, a bottleneck in technological development has been how to get processors and memories to work faster together. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have presented a new solution integrating a memory cell with a processor, which enables much faster calculations, as they happen in the memory circuit itself.

Additional Antibodies May Protect Against Covid

When we talk about antibodies against COVID-19, we tend to mean the so-called neutralising antibodies, that offer protection by blocking the virus from invading our cells. Now, a new study from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that non-neutralising antibodies may also be important in providing protection against Covid.

ECT More Effective Than Ketamine In Severe Depression

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared the effects of intravenous ketamine treatment with ECT treatment in severe depression. The results support the view that ketamine is a possible treatment, but also show that ECT treatment helps more people.

Ancient Ice Reveals Mysterious Solar Storm

Through analyzes of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found evidence of an extreme solar storm that occurred about 9,200 years ago. What puzzles the researchers is that the storm took place during one of the sun's more quiet phases – during which it is generally believed our planet is less exposed to such events.

Exotic Cocktail In The Atmosphere Of Extreme Exoplanet

Using high-resolution spectroscopy, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in mapping the atmosphere of an exoplanet located 322 light years from Earth. The knowledge gained about the hot gas surrounding the Jupiter-like planet is important for the understanding of Earth-like planets.

Metabolism Found To Regulate Production Of Killer Cells

In a recent study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers discovered that metabolic changes affect how blood cells are formed during embryonic development. They found a previously unknown metabolic switch with a key role in how different types of blood cells develop. This means blood cell formation can be directed towards producing natural killer cells in the laboratory to ultimately be used in a new anti-cancer treatment.

Researchers Create Molecule That Can Pave Way For Mini-Transistors

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in developing a simple hydrocarbon molecule with a logic gate function, similar to that in transistors, in a single molecule.

New Precision Technology For Immunotherapy

In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer.

Astronomers Map Mysterious Element In Space

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has provided an important clue to the origin of the element Ytterbium in the Milky Way, by showing that the element largely originates from supernova explosions.

Breakthrough In Converting CO2 Into Fuel Using Solar Energy

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has shown how solar power can convert carbon dioxide into fuel, by using advanced materials and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy.

Researchers Create The First Artificial Vision System For Both Land And Water

Inspired by a fiddler crab eye, scientists developed an amphibious artificial vision system with a panoramic visual field.

Researchers Discover Major Roadblock In Alleviating Network Congestion

Algorithms designed to ensure multiple users share a network fairly can’t prevent some users from hogging all the bandwidth.

Why It’s A Problem That Pulse Oximeters Don’t Work As Well On Patients Of Color

New research ties inaccuracies in pulse oximeter readings to racial disparities in treatment and outcomes.

Q&A: COVID-19 Vaccine Study Gains Attention

A new study from Lund University in Sweden on how the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine affects human liver cells under experimental conditions, has been viewed more than 800,000 times in just over a week.

Reduction In Severe Perineal Tearing When Two Midwives Are Present During Childbirth

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have studied whether severe perineal tears – known as sphincter injuries – are reduced if the primary midwife has assistance of a colleague during the final stage of labour.

Using Artificial Intelligence To Control Digital Manufacturing

Researchers train a machine-learning model to monitor and adjust the 3D printing process to correct errors in real-time.
