Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) developed a smart monitoring system that applies digital sensing technology to maintain and manage small- and medium-sized aging bridges.
Morning glory plants that can resist the effects of glyphosate also resist damage from herbivorous insects, according to a University of Michigan study.
Dr. Hyang-Tag Lim's research team at the KIST has implemented a quantum computing algorithm that can estimate interatomic bond distances and ground state energies with chemical accuracy using fewer resources than conventional methods, and has succeeded in performing accurate calculations without the need for additional quantum error mitigation techniques.
Algorithms that can detect subtle changes in a person’s voice are emerging as a potential new diagnostic tool for Parkinson’s disease, according to researchers from Iraq and Australia.
In 1974, the independent discovery of the J/psi particle at SLAC and Brookhaven National Laboratory rocked the physics world, and entire textbooks had to be rewritten. Earlier this month, SLAC hosted a symposium to celebrate the milestone.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today was awarded nearly $8 million from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) in support of faculty recruitment as well as lung and colorectal cancer screening and early detection programs to address cancer incidence rates across Texas.
Small modular reactors could play key role in rebuilding a clean economy in post-war Ukraine. Argonne scientists will assess the emerging technology in new research.
University of Washington researchers developed a system for detecting subtle biases in AI models. They found seven of the eight popular AI models they tested in conversations around race and caste generated significant amounts of biased text in interactions — particularly when discussing caste. Open-source models fared far worse than two proprietary ChatGPT models.
In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign evaluated far-ultraviolet C (far-UVC) light as a safe way to alleviate fungal contamination of corn and wheat and found this technology to be effective.
Entangled quantum bits per second (ebps) indicates a quantum network’s throughput. In this study, researchers collected ebps measurements over a suite of fiber connections on a quantum network testbed. They then compared these measurements with capacity estimates for a conventional fiber-optic network at a range of distances. The study finds that ebps throughput decays sharply with distance in ways that differ from conventional networks.
The recent boom in artificial intelligence technology, such as ChatGPT, has raised many questions about the real potential of these tools in the business world. In a new paper, Felipe Csaszar, professor of strategy, explores several ways AI can be used to make critical strategic decisions.
A new program at Wayne State University supported by a four-year, $749,991 grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will use data to study the future of agriculture and train students to better understand how to keep people fed in an ever-changing world.
Over a typical two-year rotation of corn and soybeans, 40% of nitrous oxide emissions are in the fertilizer-free soybean year, according to new Iowa State University research. Winter cover crops and planting soybeans earlier could reduce emissions of the potent greenhouse gas by one-third while increasing yields.
Alessandro Vasciaveo, PhD, joined Sanford Burnham Prebys as an assistant professor in computational biology and artificial intelligence in fall 2024. He uses his training and experience as a scientist and engineer to advance knowledge of human biology through research, and to identify novel treatments and cures for diseases.
Sobre la base de trabajos anteriores, los investigadores de ACS Infectious Diseases han demostrado un posible tratamiento antibacteriano a partir de una darobactina modificada, un compuesto originario de una bacteria. El equipo informa de pruebas de concepto en animales con infecciones causadas por bacterias, entre ellas, E. coli, conocidas por desarrollar farmacorresistencia.
A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center finds that, in healthy women, some breast cells that otherwise appear normal may contain chromosome abnormalities typically associated with invasive breast cancer. The findings question conventional thinking on the genetic origins of breast cancer, which could influence early cancer detection methods.
The study, published today in Nature, discovered that at least 3% of normal cells from breast tissue in 49 healthy women contain a gain or loss of chromosomes, a condition known as aneuploidy, and that they expand and accumulate with age. This poses questions for our understanding of “normal” tissues, according to principal investigator Nicholas Navin, Ph.D., chair of Systems Biology.
The pipe organ stands as a bastion in concert halls and church sanctuaries, and even when not in use, it affects the acoustical environment around it. Researchers performed a sine-sweep through loudspeakers facing the organ pipes and measured the response with a microphone at different positions. They verified experimentally that sympathetic resonance does occur in organ pipes during musical performances and speeches, and that the overall amplitude increases when the signal matches the resonance of one or more pipes.
Four summer undergrad fellows conducting research at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory talk about their work developing quantum technologies and how they’re excited to be a part of a burgeoning field.
