Diagnose It, Treat It and Teen Patients Improve
New work on linear-probing hash tables from MIT CSAIL could lead to more efficient data storage and retrieval in computers.
Work Suggests New Avenues for Cleaning Up These ‘Forever Chemicals’
Novel chip keeps time using the constant, measurable rotation of molecules as a timing reference.
Paper-based blood test developed by SMART researchers can rapidly determine the presence of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies.
Researchers from Zurich have developed a compact, energy-efficient device made from artificial neurons that is capable of decoding brainwaves. The chip uses data recorded from the brainwaves of epilepsy patients to identify which regions of the brain cause epileptic seizures. This opens up new perspectives for treatment.
The findings could inform the design of new materials such as iridescent windows or waterproof textiles.
Nerve cells communicate with one another via synapses. Neuroscientists at the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich have now found that these connections seem to be much more powerful than previously thought. The larger the synapse, the stronger the signal it transmits. These findings will enable a better understanding of how the brain functions and how neurological disorders arise.
Why are the planets of the inner solar system dry and rocky, but the outer ones are not? An international team of researchers with participation of the University of Zurich discovered that a two-step formation process of the planets can explain the chronology and split in volatiles like water and isotope content of the inner and outer solar system.
Marmoset monkeys perceive the vocal interactions between their conspecifics not just as a string of calls, but as coherent conversations. They also evaluate their content. These are the findings of a study by researchers at the University of Zurich which combined thermography methods with behavioral preference measures.
A new machine-learning model could enable robots to understand interactions in the world in the way humans do.
In the event of a pandemic, delayed reactions and a decentralized approach by the authorities at the start of a follow-up wave can lead to longer-lasting, more severe and more fatal consequences, researchers from the universities of Zurich and Toronto have found. The interdisciplinary team compared the Spanish flu of 1918 and 1919 in the Canton of Bern with the coronavirus pandemic of 2020.
The Raman spectroscopy-based method enables early detection and quantification of pathogens in plants, to enhance plant disease management.
New guidelines for treating cancers that have spread to the brain (brain metastases) are poised to improve care for patients and help many live longer, better lives.
New lung research from an international team of scientists could offer doctors a new way to detect and monitor progressive lung diseases – and may also shed light on the fundamental causes of those conditions.
Researchers found a significant portion of Americans socially identify with the anti-vaxx label, presenting potential implications for public health.
An unexpected discovery at UVA Cancer Center has allowed scientists to halt the development of small-cell lung cancer in lab mice, and the surprise finding could open the door to a new treatment approach in people.
Texas A&M associate professor Akhilesh Gaharwar and graduate student Patrick Lee are developing a new class of hydrogels that can leverage light for drug delivery and regenerative medicine treatments.
School of Medicine researchers have identified a potential way to battle the health effects of obesity and type 2 diabetes in women after discovering an important factor that could determine how their bodies use and store fat.
Instead of converting solar light into electrical power for immediate use, Texas A&M's Christi Madsen envisions remoting light energy to another location optically by concentrating solar light.
