Virginia Tech communication professor Megan Duncan discusses why United States presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris focused on podcasts in their voter outreach, and what benefits such media bring.
To understand the workings of DNA in relation to disease, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed the first multimodal deep learning model of its kind, EPBDxDNABERT-2, capable of ascertaining the precise relationship between transcription factors, proteins that regulate gene activities, leveraging an aspect of DNA called DNA breathing, in which the double-helix structure opens and closes spontaneously. The model has the potential to aid in the design of drugs used to treat diseases that originate in gene activity.
University of Florida cybersecurity professor Kevin Butler developed the framework, which spells out guidance for countries to prevent fraud and abuse on mobile cash apps.
Researchers who previously demonstrated a cooling fabric coating now report on additional tests of a treated polyester fabric in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Fabric treated with the team鈥檚 chalk-based coating kept the air underneath up to 6 degrees Fahrenheit cooler in warmer urban environments.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have achieved a new material that will be pivotal in making the next generation of high-power electronics faster, transparent and more efficient.
Dr. Jacqueline Gottlieb from Columbia University shares groundbreaking insights into the science of curiosity. Known for her research on cognition and decision-making, Dr. Gottlieb explains that curiosity isn鈥檛 just about learning鈥攊t鈥檚 a complex process where our brains assess uncertainty and prioritize valuable information
A fan who suffered a stroke while cheering at a University of Michigan football game is celebrating a full recovery thanks to a comprehensive response that began with his wife.
Dr. Neil Johnson, a physics professor at George Washington University, explores unconventional areas within physics, focusing on complex, 鈥渢aboo鈥 problems not traditionally tackled by physicists, like online hate networks.
Join Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn, for an inspiring talk on Supramolecular and Adaptive Chemistry! This is a unique chance to hear directly from one of the world鈥檚 most distinguished chemists as he explores how Constitutional Dynamic Chemistry (CDC) leads to adaptive, evolving systems of increasing complexity.
Join us for an insightful lecture by Professor Zhongfan Liu, Boya Chair Professor at Peking University and President of the Beijing Graphene Institute (BGI). Professor Liu will discuss how BGI is rapidly becoming a global leader in graphene materials, with innovations like graphene-skinned glass fibers, single crystal graphene wafers, and more!
A potential solution to a common beer-spoiling menace could be bubbling up from an unexpected source, thanks to research led by Paul Rowley, an associate professor of microbiology at University of Idaho. The culprit? Diastatic yeasts 鈥 pesky microorganisms that can wreak havoc in brewing by over-fermenting beer, boosting alcohol content, altering flavors and, worst of all, causing bottles to explode.
Experts on healthy aging from Cedars-Sinai鈥檚 growing Center for Translational Geroscience and Geriatrics Program will present their latest research and clinical advances at The Gerontological Society of America鈥檚 (GSA) 2024 Annual Scientific Meeting in Seattle, Nov. 13-16.
One of the longstanding challenges of pediatric pulmonary valve replacement is size and the ability to accommodate growth. Young children tend to quickly outgrow fixed size valves鈥攍eading to the need for multiple invasive surgeries throughout childhood.Now, an investigational clinical trial at Children鈥檚 Hospital Los Angeles is testing a potential solution to this problem: a novel pulmonary valve that can be size-adjusted as a child grows.
Global public debt may soon collectively catch up to the worldwide gross domestic product (GDP), likely matching it by 2030. New research from a Notre Dame economist suggests that this could happen even sooner, thanks to countries鈥 hidden debts. This misreported debt can lead to higher interest rates for borrowers and lower recovery rates for lenders, suggesting indirect adverse effects on global financial stability and consumer welfare.
The study will look at how drought, heat waves and soil impact the cycle of water and carbon between plants and the atmosphere in dryland agricultural ecosystems. It will focus on two orchards, one in the El Paso area and another in the Conchos River basin in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
