“This is a really exciting time to be a roboticist who also cares about the environment,” says PhD student Victoria Preston.
Researchers could rapidly obtain high-resolution images of blood vessels and neurons within the brain.
BIODIVERSITY The underlying cause for why some regions are home to an extremely large number of animal species may be found in the evolutionary adaptations of species, and how they limit their dispersion to specific natural habitats. This was shown in a new study by researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the Smithsonian Institution. The research sheds new light on an old controversy regarding the origin of biodiversity.
Four times faster than conventional PCR methods, new RADICA approach is highly specific, sensitive, and resistant to inhibitors.
Experts have issued a stark warning about the effects of the pandemic on the mental health of children and young people.
The amount of sugar purchased by households through soft drinks fell by 10% in the year following the introduction of the UK Soft Drinks Industry Levy, say researchers at the University of Cambridge.
Diphtheria – a relatively easily-preventable infection – is evolving to become resistant to a number of classes of antibiotics and in future could lead to vaccine escape, warn researchers from the UK and India.
COVID-19 is leaving both the bereaved and bereavement care practitioners struggling to cope
A team of engineers has identified the ‘violent’ physical processes at work inside the lungs which cause wheezing, a condition that affects up to a quarter of the world’s population.
New data from Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge suggests that a single dose of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine can reduce by 75% the number of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.
A potential new treatment to protect immunosuppressed patients from human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been discovered by scientists at the University of Cambridge.
Robotic dogs, laughter therapy and mindfulness are some of the ways that might help people – particularly the elderly – cope with loneliness and social isolation while social distancing, say researchers at the University of Cambridge.
UC San Diego scientists discover shattered chromosomal fragments are tethered together during cell division before being rearranged; destroying the tether may help prevent cancerous mutations
MIT researchers train a neural network to predict a “boiling crisis,” with potential applications for cooling computer chips and nuclear reactors.
A new seed-coating process could facilitate agriculture on marginal arid lands by enabling the seeds to retain any available water.
RNA recoding is widespread in some animals, though not humans; UC San Diego researchers report squid employ it to dynamically alter key proteins to work better in colder water
Diagnostic nanoparticles could be used to monitor tumor recurrence after treatment or to perform routine cancer screenings.
A novel method to represent robotic manipulators helps optimize complex and organic shapes for future machines.
Five years after the creation of Mexico’s Revillagigedo National Park, the largest fully protected marine area in North America, experts report no negative impacts on the Mexican fishing sector
