An international research team, including scientists from the University of Washington, has established a new upper limit on the mass of the neutrino, the lightest known subatomic particle.
Blood clots form naturally as a way to stop bleeding when someone is injured. But blood clots in patients with medical issues, such as mechanical heart valves or other heart conditions, can lead to a stroke or heart attack.
The Middle Ordovician – 470 million years ago – witnessed the greatest rise in marine biodiversity in all of Earth history. Climate change played a major role in this event as the onset of colder temperatures coincided with the start of the biotic radiations. A new study lead by researchers from University of Copenhagen now provides further evidence for this ancient ice age, revealing new insights about distinct phases of ice-sheet growth nearly half a billion years ago.
The computer-vision technique behind these maps could help avoid contrail production, reducing aviation’s climate impact.
A method for stabilizing the interfaces in solid-state lithium-ion batteries opens new possibilities.
A new approach enables architects to use discarded tree forks as load-bearing joints in their structures.
A team led by scientists at the University of Washington and special agents with the U.S.
Professor and Center Director Tom Gilbert is exploring the possibilities of bringing back the extinct Christmas Island rat through genomic sequencing in a new study published in Current Biology. However, the hologenomic perspective brings nuance to the core of de-extinction.
MIT chemical engineers create affordable, sustainable soap-based system to eliminate emerging micropollutants in water.
Farmers struggling to adapt to rising temperatures in tropical regions can unleash the benefits of natural cooling, alongside a host of other wins, simply by dotting more trees across their pasturelands.
Chemical engineers use neural networks to discover the properties of metal-organic frameworks, for catalysis and other applications.
Beating the bite of mosquitoes this spring and summer could hinge on your attire and your skin.
Researchers from the Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics have successfully managed to separate resident and transient microorganisms in the gut microbiome of small fish, marking an important step towards better use of host-microbiome interactions especially in aquaculture.
Membranes are crucial to our cells. Every cell in your body is enclosed by one. And each of those cells contains specialized compartments, or organelles, which are also enclosed by membranes.
A new cleaning method could remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.
Though they may be small, microorganisms are the most abundant form of life in the ocean.
The new PhageLeads resource uses machine learning to provide a free tool for researchers to rapidly assess therapeutic suitability for specific phages. This is an important step towards successfully using phages as a type of therapeutics for treating bacterial infections.
A machine-learning model for image classification that’s trained using synthetic data can rival one trained on the real thing, a study shows.
A new study carried out by researchers at Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics and colleagues offers a more holistic view on host and microbiota signals in rainbow trout.
The protein subunit vaccine, which can be manufactured using engineered yeast, has shown promise in preclinical studies.
