Since the beginning of March, India and Pakistan and large parts of South Asia experienced prolonged heat, that at the time of writing, May 2022, still hasn’t subsided.
Stacking light-emitting diodes instead of placing them side by side could enable fully immersive virtual reality displays and higher-resolution digital screens.
MIT engineers developed organic polymers that can efficiently convert signals from biological tissue into the electronic signals used in transistors.
Tobacco users in Canada are exposed to higher levels of cyanide than smokers in lower-income nations, according to a large-scale population health study from McMaster University.
Young people’s mental health has not been affected by the two corona lockdowns, a new study from the University of Copenhagen concludes. But in the short run, it did suffer temporarily.
The system’s simple repeating elements can assemble into swimming forms ranging from eel-like to wing-shaped.
A global study involving McMaster University researchers including (from left to right) Anthony Chan, Davide Matino and Alfonso Iorio has trialled a potential new treatment that could be a game-changer for people living with hemophilia A.
A new study shows how large language models like GPT-3 can learn a new task from just a few examples, without the need for any new training data.
For a long time, scientists have debated whether or not growing up with a cat or a dog would influence either the risk of allergy or an asthmatic condition. A new study from the University of Copenhagen brings answers to the table.
Factoring in changing demographics and physician work trends can help with physician workforce planning, according to a new analysis by McMaster University researchers.
In an advance they consider a breakthrough in computational chemistry research, University of Wisconsin–Madison chemical engineers have developed a model of how catalytic reactions work at the atomic scale.
