An NAU physicist is spearheading groundbreaking new quantum physics research, a field with the potential to revolutionize computing, communication, security and sensing on a global scale
Researchers have received a $650,000 NSF grant to investigate the cultural dimensions of ecological instability by studying the experiences of vulnerable communities in South Florida and Puerto Rico. Using ethnography, they will capture the nuanced ways in which communities are responding to ecological disruptions. Understanding how cultures adapt to ecological instability can provide valuable insights for communities worldwide, including those in the Caribbean. By documenting and analyzing these responses, researchers can develop and refine strategies to enhance collective survival.
Scientists who have described in a new study the step-by-step details of a bacterial defense strategy see the mechanism as a promising platform for development of a new genome-editing method.
In the Aug. 28, 2024 issue of Nature, researchers from University of California San Diego in the laboratory of Dr. Kevin King, associate professor of bioengineering and medicine, and a cardiologist at the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center, report the discovery of a novel mechanism of cardiac inflammation that may expand therapeutic opportunities to prevent heart attacks from becoming heart failure.
From R&D to national lab/corporate partnerships, commercialization, and community engagement, Georgia Tech is at the forefront of developing and deploying negative emissions technologies, such as direct air capture.
EVOQ Therapeutics, Inc. (EVOQ) a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the treatment of autoimmune diseases, announced today the receipt of a $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to advance novel therapies for autoimmune diseases.
Immersive virtual reality could open up a whole new world for people with intellectual disability, enabling them to learn practical life skills much faster without relying on caregivers, according to a new study.
While the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for medical diagnosis is growing, new research by the University of Adelaide has found there are still major hurdles to cover when compared to a clinician. In a paper published in The Lancet Digital Health, Australian Institute for Machine Learning PhD student Lana Tikhomirov, Professor Carolyn Semmler and team from the University of Adelaide, have drawn on external research to investigate what’s known as the ‘AI chasm’.
Yiren Ren's research explores music’s impact on learning, memory, and emotions in two studies. One reveals that familiar music enhances concentration and learning; the other demonstrates that music with a strong emotional tone can reshape the quality of existing memories.
During Black Breastfeeding Week, two Penn State Health experts discuss the benefits of nursing and why some mothers choose not to.
Three recently published studies from Cedars-Sinai investigators have deepened knowledge of how changes in the eye are linked to indicators of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain.
Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists have discovered a virus that caused a nationwide die-off of superworms, a common food for birds, reptiles, other pets and, more and more so, even for humans as an alternative protein source. In doing so, they pioneered a different way to search for and identify emerging viruses and pathogens in humans, plants and animals.
Another school year has begun, and for Hokie sports fans that means the start of a new football season and a lot of tailgating. But tailgating brings unique food safety challenges that you don’t necessarily have to worry about when eating at home.
A team led by University of Washington researchers found that large language models, such as ChatGPT, can make social media bots more sophisticated at evading detection. But these models can also improve systems that detect bots.
When taken at the first signs of a migraine, before headache pain begins, a drug called ubrogepant may be effective in helping people with migraine go about their daily lives with little or no symptoms, according to a new study published in the August 28, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Zhili Feng, a distinguished R&D staff member, and Jian Chen, a senior R&D staff member, in Materials Science and Technology Division at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will receive the Elmer L. Hann Award at the Society of Naval Architects and Maritime Engineers, or SNAME, Convention on Oct.
This week, nearly 43,000 Titans began a new school year on Cal State Fullerton’s vibrant campus, encountering new campus leaders, building renovations and expanded learning opportunities.

Fibrosis, or the scaring of tissue, occurs in many diseases, and is a central component of systemic sclerosis. There are currently no treatments that can reverse fibrosis and the current treatment only has a modest effect on the course of the disease. But research is finding new targets for potential treatments.
Flatter hierarchies, according to proponents, boost innovation, employee autonomy and satisfaction. However, new findings show a “hidden cost” from flatter hierarchies: They may reduce gender diversity.
