System offers potent tool for detecting illness outbreaks
Development could spark advances in computing, electrochemical, biological systems
Tactile bracelet and ‘pseudo-haptic’ visuals make virtual touch more believable
How much individuals express their religious beliefs in the workplace depends on how much power they hold there, according to new research from the Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance’s Religion and Public Life Program at Rice University.
Their swirling, clustering behavior might someday inform the design of self-assembling robotic swarms.
A new technique could improve the precision of atomic clocks and of quantum sensors for detecting dark matter or gravitational waves.
Studying speakers of 45 languages, neuroscientists found similar patterns of brain activation and language selectivity.
‘Flash Joule’ technique efficiently turns would-be pollution into valuable nanomaterials
Nerve cells regulate and routinely refresh the collection of calcium channels that enable them to send messages across circuit connections.
Single-shot spectroscopy techniques provide researchers with a new understanding of a mysterious light-driven process.
To ensure a quick halt, brain circuit architecture avoids a slow process of integration in favor of quicker differentiation, study finds.
Researchers use machine learning to automatically solve, explain, and generate university-level math problems at a human level.
While balance training may not necessarily sound fun to most adolescents, video games typically do. And for adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, video games that improve their balance by teaching them yoga and tai chi poses also improves their posture, reduces the severity of their autism symptoms and influences the structure of their brains.
Our gut microbiome helps us out every day by processing the fiber we can’t digest. The bacteria ferment the fiber into key chemicals known as short-chain fatty acids, or SCFAs, that are essential for human health.
A new study led by the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health finds many recreational cannabis companies market their products in a way that appeals to children and teens, despite state-based regulations prohibiting it.
A new study confirms that, compared to earlier versions of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the omicron variant causes less severe disease in mice and hamsters, which are reliable models for understanding COVID-19.
Using organoids to model early development, researchers used an emerging microscopy technology to see that new neurons struggled to reach their developmental destination.
A breakdown of lipid metabolism in these brain cells promotes inflammation and interferes with neuron activity, a new study finds.
