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.
Glacier ice is usually thought of as brittle. You can drill a hole in an ice sheet, like into a rock, and glaciers crack and calve, leaving behind vertical ice cliffs.
A new cleaning method could remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.
Accidentally trapping sharks, seabirds, marine mammals, sea turtles and other animals in fishing gear is one of the biggest barriers to making fisheries more sustainable around the world.
Though they may be small, microorganisms are the most abundant form of life in the ocean.
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a new test for COVID-19 that combines the speed of over-the-counter antigen tests with the accuracy of PCR tests that are processed in medical labs and hospitals.
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 team of scientists from the Center for Theoretical Physics is spearheading efforts to evaluate the principles of quantum gravity using a quantum processor.
A 40-hertz sensory stimulation could be a remedy in treating Alzheimer’s disease, according to two early-stage clinical studies produced by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
New research from MIT has shown that the health benefits of wind power could be significantly increased if operators prioritized reducing output from the most polluting fossil-fuel-based power plants when energy from wind is available.
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.
A newly published research study has explored the functional potential of pro- and synbiotics, using multi-omic datasets in order to account for the full scope of changes in the host fish and its gut microbiota. These findings may help the animal production industry to further their use of microbiome-associated tools.
A new way to make carbon fiber could turn refinery byproducts into high-value, ultralight structural materials for cars, aircraft, and spacecraft.
More precise information about the roles genetics and environment play in determining disease is essential for better understanding and treating both common ailments and killer diseases.
Exposure to plastic nanoparticles in a generation of zebrafish causes changes in the metabolome and gut microbiota as well as a lower survival of embryos produced by exposed parents. This indicates that long-term effects may impact reproductive capabilities and potentially population dynamics; essential parameters that are often missed by short-term studies.
Researchers have developed a technique for making quantum computing more resilient to noise, which boosts performance.
