A new generation of space materials left Earth this morning [02:29 GMT 05/11/2024] as they head to the International Space Station (ISS) to undergo testing in the brutal conditions of low Earth orbit.
Science can be difficult to explain to the public. Explaining a theoretical science concept to high school students requires a new way of thinking altogether, which is precisely what researchers at UC San Diego did when they orchestrated a dance with high school students at Orange Glen High School in Escondido as a way to explain topological insulators. The experiment was led by former graduate student Matthew Du and UC San Diego Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Joel Yuen-Zhou.
Scientists from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University showed that spraying of selenium stimulates the growth of garden sage – a plant, that is used in medicine for treatment of inflammations and diseases of gastrointestinal tract. In this case plants treated by selenium showed the improvement of antioxidative properties, raise of the speed of photosynthesis by 67%, and also increase of sugar content, amino acids and proteins. Thus, the obtained information enables to raise crop yield and pharmaceutical value of garden sage. Results of the research supported by the grant of Russian Scientific (RNF), are published in the journal Scientia Horticulturae.
Join us for an in-depth presentation by Professor Hesheng Chen from the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, as he discusses the exciting developments of the Southern Advanced Photon Source (SAPS). This state-of-the-art synchrotron radiation facility will be a core part of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area National Science and Technology Center.
Led by Dr. Jae Sung Yoon at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM), and Ph.D. candidate Nguyen Hoang Minh from the UST-KIMM School, the research team drew inspiration from the structural coloration observed in natural phenomena such as peacock feathers and morpho butterflies.
A new Australian study published in Diabetologia this week has found that overnight eating may be putting night shift workers at higher risk of chronic health conditions.
On a Thursday morning in Dallas, Fiona Strasserking, M.D., chats with her UT Southwestern colleague while internal medicine residents from the University of Zambia log on to their Zoom call. Rafic Berbarie, M.D., Associate Professor in UTSW’s Division of Cardiology, is today’s guest lecturer and the topic is “Evaluation of Chest Pain.”
Texas A&M AgriLife researchers uncovered a promising target for controlling gene expression and other cellular processes, which could lead to advancements in crop resilience and our understanding of certain human diseases.
NASA crew and ground-based scientists are sending blood cells to the International Space Station on November 4 to learn why astronauts have a higher risk of blood clots.
A group of institutions, including Argonne National Laboratory, received a $20 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation and Simons Foundation to establish an AI and astronomy institute called the NSF-Simons AI Institute for the Sky (SkAI).
Fabrizio Michelassi, MD, FACS, a recognized leader in the gastrointestinal surgical field, is the new Chair of the American College of Surgeons Board of Regents
University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers are warning that artificial intelligence tools gaining popularity in the fields of genetics and medicine can lead to flawed conclusions about the connection between genes and physical characteristics, including risk factors for diseases like diabetes.The faulty predictions are linked to researchers’ use of AI to assist genome-wide association studies.
A new study of 1,000 adults found that meeting minimum physical activity guidelines isn't enough to counteract the health hazards of prolonged sitting.
Certains aspects de la pandémie de COVID-19 ont été de courte durée, comme les confinements et la distanciation sociale. Les webinaires ILAE, en revanche, ont non seulement persisté depuis 2020, mais sont aussi devenus plus fréquents.
Juhn Atsushi Wada was a Japanese–Canadian neurologist known for research on epilepsy and brain asymmetry, including the development of the Wada test to assess hemispheric dominance of language function. He became a pioneer in the utilization of the kindling model of epilepsy, which permitted controlled studies of the development of epilepsy in the laboratory.
Bárbara Brizuela, who has been named dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, is a big believer in interdisciplinary research. “Knowledge-seeking has no disciplinary boundaries,” says Brizuela. “We're going to need broad and connected perspectives to be able to solve the world's biggest problems.” The dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) and professor of education served as the school’s dean ad interim since July. Her appointment to lead the School of Arts and Sciences builds on a long and distinguished career as a teacher, mentor, researcher, and administrator.
