Access to the gig economy may help facilitate the creation of new businesses, according to a new study.
Silicon fluorescence shines through microcracks in cement, revealing early signs of damage
Inhibitor protein shown to regulate Nodal signaling relay during tissue patterning
More than 20 years ago, Wired featured Rice University chemist James Tour in a story about molecular electronics, then a focus of his lab. At the time, he said commercializing single molecules turned into circuits was perhaps three to five years away.
Rice, Baylor study shows enhanced breast cancer drug could halt spread
Animals have three main strategies to survive the freezing temperatures of winter: migrating, remaining in place and resisting the cold, and reducing body temperature and metabolic rate in a state called torpor.
Wanderlust can be a powerful motivator in people’s decision to get vaccinated against COVID-19, a new study from Washington State University says.
A new study shows that wild Atlantic salmon has an unique and surprisingly stable microbiome in their guts. This new knowledge can improve the large salmon industry and make it more sustainable.
Certain plants pose a valuable medicinal resource. However, many species are threatened by changes in climate and land use. To sustainably exploit the plants' potential in global health care systematic and transdisciplinary research is highly important, argues a group of researchers, including Dr. Spyros Theodoridis and Professor David Nogués-Bravo, in a new publication.
Technique allows researchers to toggle on individual genes that regulate cell growth, development and function.
A study suggests that economic support reduces alcohol misuse and depressive symptoms among low-income mothers.
“The number of children with sleep disturbances nearly doubled,” says a UW Medicine psychiatrist and sleep specialist.
A distinct immune response is observed in people who had COVID-19 and then got vaccinated.
In a new study led by Postdoc Ryan Germain from the Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate (CMEC), researchers have managed to identify the trait combinations and sets in birds associated with long-term population declines and sensitivity to warming climate conditions.
Study findings underscore imperative of expanding test access and lowering costs.
Two-million-year-old DNA has been identified for the first time - opening a ‘game-changing’ new chapter in the history of evolution. Microscopic fragments of environmental DNA were found in Ice Age sediment in northern Greenland. Using cutting-edge technology, researchers discovered the fragments are one million years older than the previous record for DNA sampled from a Siberian mammoth bone.
Cryoelectron microscopy studies of Nipah and Hendra viruses may lead to ideas for vaccine design and antibody treatments.
Study findings highlight the need for better mental health and social services to help ex-prisoners transition back into community, researchers say.
A UW Medicine-based study shows most Merkel cell carcinoma recurrences happen in the first three years after treatment.
New study published in Science with CMEC co-authorship resolves a 100 year old challenge for predicting global genetic diversity loss.
