Researchers developed a video game that allows non-scientists to assist in analyzing genome sequences of microorganisms in the human digestive system. The game had over 4 million players in 4 years!
Researchers developed a computational tool to identify bits of the genome that move around. Their tool will help other scientists find things that don’t belong, like viruses and plasmids, in mixtures of DNA.
Scientists added soft molecules to a light-emitting polymer used in phone displays, so it could stretch to twice its original size while still emitting light.
Researchers analyzed the use of wearable AI in detecting and predicting depression. They suggested several ways to improve the technology for optimum performance.
Researchers developed a tool to visualize changes in DNA data from new sequencing technology. Their tool will help scientists "see" how changes in DNA contribute to disease.
Scientists installed a special generator onto an existing solar cell so it can use temperature changes to generate power from radiative cooling at night.
Scientists designed a unique hybrid material that stores sodium, which could improve performance and reliability of sodium-ion batteries for use in cell phones and other electronics.
Scientists developed a new model to improve the gripping performance of electroadhesive clutches in robots. Their upgraded cyber-hand was nearly 30 times stronger!
In automobiles, aircrafts, and other large machineries, it is extremely useful to have a way to detect the amount of force certain components in these machines are experiencing. If we can monitor force in real time, we can prevent a…
Scientists devised a new method for converting energy from evaporation into electricity, using sustainable microbial biofilms. This device was able to power simple wearable electronics from human sweat.
Scientists recently tested new solids for cheaper and safer capture of carbon dioxide from internal combustion engines. This technology could help decrease greenhouse gas emissions from transportation.
Scientists develop simple procedure to strain silicon, reaching record strain levels, that will have huge impact in optoelectronic devices such as LED lights, solar panels, and smoke detectors.
Scientists created an artificial intelligence model, called CancerGPT, that predicted the effect of different drug combinations on patients with rare forms of cancer.
Researchers reviewed data showing biological male versus female cancer patients experience cancer differently, with different immune responses and side effects.
Researchers found fungi living in different types of human cancer. They suggested doctors could use fungal DNA in blood samples as a new diagnostic tool.
