New research ties inaccuracies in pulse oximeter readings to racial disparities in treatment and outcomes.
Algorithms designed to ensure multiple users share a network fairly can’t prevent some users from hogging all the bandwidth.
Inspired by a fiddler crab eye, scientists developed an amphibious artificial vision system with a panoramic visual field.
A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has shown how solar power can convert carbon dioxide into fuel, by using advanced materials and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy.
A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has provided an important clue to the origin of the element Ytterbium in the Milky Way, by showing that the element largely originates from supernova explosions.
In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer.
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in developing a simple hydrocarbon molecule with a logic gate function, similar to that in transistors, in a single molecule.
In a recent study from Lund University in Sweden, researchers discovered that metabolic changes affect how blood cells are formed during embryonic development. They found a previously unknown metabolic switch with a key role in how different types of blood cells develop. This means blood cell formation can be directed towards producing natural killer cells in the laboratory to ultimately be used in a new anti-cancer treatment.
Using high-resolution spectroscopy, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in mapping the atmosphere of an exoplanet located 322 light years from Earth. The knowledge gained about the hot gas surrounding the Jupiter-like planet is important for the understanding of Earth-like planets.
Through analyzes of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica, a research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found evidence of an extreme solar storm that occurred about 9,200 years ago. What puzzles the researchers is that the storm took place during one of the sun's more quiet phases – during which it is generally believed our planet is less exposed to such events.
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared the effects of intravenous ketamine treatment with ECT treatment in severe depression. The results support the view that ketamine is a possible treatment, but also show that ECT treatment helps more people.
When we talk about antibodies against COVID-19, we tend to mean the so-called neutralising antibodies, that offer protection by blocking the virus from invading our cells. Now, a new study from Lund University in Sweden has revealed that non-neutralising antibodies may also be important in providing protection against Covid.
For many years, a bottleneck in technological development has been how to get processors and memories to work faster together. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have presented a new solution integrating a memory cell with a processor, which enables much faster calculations, as they happen in the memory circuit itself.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) continue to enhance the CRISPR gene-editing system, creating a new tool that can remove damaged genes and replace them with new genes in an effective and safe method.
Sophisticated systems for the detection of biomarkers — molecules such as DNA or proteins that indicate the presence of a disease — are crucial for real-time diagnostic and disease-monitoring devices.
Unlike other marine mammals, male California sea lions have gotten bigger over the past 50 years as their population has grown
Still a good boy nearly 100 years after historic sled run, Balto has now helped scientists explore the genetics of working dogs and demonstrate the power of comparative genomics
A new device, which doesn’t rely on immunosuppressing drugs, may assist efforts to develop an artificial pancreas to treat diabetes.
The paper test measures the level of neutralizing antibodies in a blood sample and could help people decide what protections they should take against infection.
Tiny organisms in the Southern Ocean play an outsized role in moderating Earth’s climate
