The Hoffman-Yee Research Grant Program seeks to harness artificial intelligence to build a better future for humanity.
Sarecycline, a drug approved for use in the United States in 2018, is the first new antibiotic approved to treat acne in more than 40 years.
The term cerebellum, literally translated as little brain, is actually a massive portion of the brain, unlike what its name would imply.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found that declines in hip fractures over the last several decades may be associated with decreased heaving drinking and smoking, according to a July 27 press release from NIH.
Of all the features in a spiral galaxy, perhaps the most breathtaking are the many arms that appear to spin away in arches from the galaxy's center.
New research into the deadliest form of the malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, shows another set of channels, pore-like holes, in the membrane sac surrounding the parasite that allows it to draw in nutrients from the infected blood cell.
Researchers have taken a step toward gaining a greater understanding of solar flares in a study that focused inside the "central engine."
NASA is on schedule to launch spacecraft Lucy in October 2021 after completing a major milestone of assembly, test and launch operations for the mission at the end of July.
Some microorganisms use spiral-shaped, shape-changing flagella to help them move more smoothly through their surrounding environments, but the direction and velocity of the swimmers is controlled by elements, like magnetic fields, because the organisms' bodies cannot deform.
Research studies reported at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) 2020 suggest that flu (influenza) and pneumonia vaccinations reduce risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
NASA's new telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, is scheduled for launch on October 31, 2021 according to a July 16 press release from the agency.
The National Science Foundation has reported that blinking nanocrystals from titanium dioxide may play a role in converting carbon dioxide into fuel such as methane.
In a review published in Nature on July 1, researchers provide an overview of origin of life research and highlight several key challenges in the field.
Until recently, no one has known why flying snakes move through the air by flattening their bodies and moving from side to side, appearing as if swimming while "flying." Now, thanks to Isaac Yeaton, a scientist from Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory and lead researcher on a 2015 study of the flying snake.

Stanford chemists have developed a new tool that shuttles unwanted cell surface proteins to their deaths.
Oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone” could be used to treat certain conditions like Alzheimer’s, according to the Tokyo University of Science.
A team of researchers has discovered a new method to mechanically stimulate the human body's neural cells, which opens the possibility of direct bioelectronic treatment of specific organs without drugs or invasive electrodes.
A development from the Los Alamos National Laboratory promises to provide new insights into what occurs at the quantum level and may have further applications in ultrasensitive rotational measurements and quantum computing.
Agroup of doctors and data scientists is calling on hospitals to create clinical departments devoted to artificial intelligence to harness the power of the technology to transform patient care.
