A new technology in the form of a bracelet that helps children better understand how others play and interact has been developed by University of Bristol researchers.
In this piece Prof Tiaan de Jager and Dr Tanesha Kruger of the University of Pretoria Institute for Sustainable Malaria Control, highlights the challenges that threaten to undo progress in malaria prevention and control, including financial constraints in the form of diminishing funding.
In this piece Prof Mmantsae Diale of the Department of Physics at the University of Pretoria, highlights the significance of International Earth Day (22 April) in promoting renewable energy, with a focus on South Africa’s rapidly growing solar power sector as a sustainable solution to energy challenges.
World Health Day is commemorated annually on 7 April under the sponsorship of the World Health Organisation and other related organisations. As the global conversation around sustainable farming and healthier food options grows louder, Moringa oleifera – a fast-growing, nutrient-rich tree native to tropical and subtropical regions in India and Africa – is emerging as a promising solution that could help address both these critical issues.
Introducing Kenall's new task light: the MedMaster KUE™. Combining Kenall's expertise in behavioral health lighting with a sleek new contour, KUE's design aesthetic is as comfortable as it is stylish.
More than 100 experts in molecular simulation, coordinated by IRB Barcelona, have published an article in Nature Methods advocating for a paradigm shift in molecular dynamics data management. The article defends the implementation of the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) to improve the reproducibility of calculations and facilitate their later use as a source of information on the flexibility of biomacromolecules. Led by Drs. Modesto Orozco and Adam Hospital, the article proposes the establishment of a shared infrastructure for storing and reusing data in the context of the AI revolution.
In the first-ever scientific exploration of its kind in Bhutan, a team of researchers and forest rangers led by NAU assistant research professor Jut Wynne is uncovering how large and small animals use caves, how many yet-to-be-discovered species insects and spiders live inside and how Bhutanese communities can preserve the caves’ delicate ecosystems for future generations.
The setting for the TV series "Paradise" is an idyllic small town, but it turns out this pleasant community exists entirely underground. Virginia Tech mining engineer Nino Ripepi and electrical engineer Ali Mehrizi-Sani look at just how realistic "Paradise" actually is.
For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to a study led by University of Michigan engineers.
Junior Veronica Richmond was recently named a Truman Scholar, a selective award granted to students who are committed to a future career in public service.
The UC San Diego campus is home to the largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network of any academic institution in the western world with a growing number of EV chargers expected to exceed 1,200 within the next year.
A new study at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign asks a deceptively simple question: what is the best way to feed artificially reared pigs? The answer has implications not just for agriculture, but for biomedical research where pigs are used to study different aspects of human medicine.
A new thermal treatment technique being developed by researchers at the University of Miami College of Engineering could help destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in soil, leading to the potential demise of “forever chemicals.”
The global energy system may be faced with an inescapable trade-off between urgently addressing climate change versus avoiding an energy shortfall, according to a new energy scenario tool developed...
A recent study from the University of Georgia found a smartphone application designed to assess heat-related risks frequently reported temperatures that were lower than those recorded through direct on-site measurements.
Artificial intelligence algorithms have now been combined with traditional laboratory methods to uncover promising drug leads against human enterovirus 71 (EV71), the pathogen behind most cases of hand, foot and mouth disease. The study, published today in Cell Reports Physical Science by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, showed that reliable antiviral predictions can be made even when only a modest amount of experimental data are available.
In Physics of Fluids, researchers have developed a foolproof recipe for cacio e pepe, based on their findings studying the physics of mixing cheese in water and determining the mechanism that causes the cheese sauce to go from creamy to clumpy. The team found that a 2%-3% starch-to-cheese ratio produced the smoothest, most uniform sauce; they recommend using powdered starch, rather than relying on an unknown amount of starch in pasta water.
The largest sample of galaxy groups ever detected has been presented by a team of international astronomers using data from the James Webb Space telescope (JWST) in an area of the sky called COSMOS Web.
Scientists have identified a key gene that regulates sugar metabolism and dramatically improves tomato fruit quality and resilience after harvest. The gene, known as SlVI, encodes a vacuolar invertase that plays a critical role in converting sucrose into glucose and fructose during fruit ripening. By knocking out SlVI, researchers achieved higher fruit sucrose levels, enhanced firmness, increased resistance to fungal infections, and an extended shelf life. These findings not only reveal new insights into sugar's dual role as both an energy source and signaling molecule but also open avenues for developing tastier and more durable fruits, addressing critical challenges in agriculture and food storage.
NASA’s Universe of Learning has released a new, dynamic way for users to explore NASA’s breathtaking images of the universe—ViewSpace Interactive Image Tours.
