New research involving faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York shows how, in virtual teams where nonverbal cues are limited, a person’s engagement and influence in conversations can significantly shape whether they’re perceived as a leader.
At a glance: New research explains how herpes simplex virus can develop resistance to antiviral medicines. Study shows that movements in specific parts of a protein that enable viral replication can alter susceptibility to drugs The findings answer long-standing questions about viral drug resistance and can inform new approaches to designing more effective therapies.
Rare-earth elements are everywhere in modern life, found in everything from the smart device you’re reading this on to the LED lightbulbs overhead and neodymium magnets in electric vehicles and wind turbines.
Scientists have developed an advanced label-free photothermal microscopy system using microtoroid whispering gallery mode resonators which enables the detection of single nanoparticles as small as 5 nm quantum dots with unprecedented sensitivity. This breakthrough, which achieves a heat dissipation detection limit of 0.75 pW, offers detailed 2D photothermal imaging and holds promise for applications in nanotechnology, biomedical research, and other scientific fields, paving the way for advancements in nanoscale imaging and characterization.
Andy Groves, PhD, a leading researcher in the development of the inner ear, will head the Department of Developmental Biology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis beginning in April.
Investigating a new frontier in understanding diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Scientists created a new ultra-thin source of entangled photons, a key component for future quantum technologies. This new source uses a special material called rhombohedral tungsten disulfide, which offers high quality and efficiency. It could pave the way for miniaturized devices in quantum information processing.
With recent reporting of a Massachusetts man being infected with the mosquito-borne Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus, people trying to enjoy the last days of summer are being cautioned. An infectious disease expert from Hackensack Meridian Ocean University Medical Center shares some answers.
Award-winning writer host a free lecture on her book on Saturday, Sept. 7 at 2:30 p.m. PDT at the Truhlsen-Marmor Museum of the Eye in San Francisco. In addition to the author’s presentation, participants can purchase a copy of the book and have it signed at the event.
eXeX, a pioneering med tech company utilizing artificial intelligence and spatial computing to optimize surgical procedures, today announced the successful closing of a $5.8 million priced seed round. This milestone comes just two years after the company's inception and marks a significant step forward in its mission to enhance surgical healthcare globally.
A $10 million gift from Ellen W.P. Wasserman to LifeBridge Health will create an endowment to fund scholarships for medical students training at the Regional Medical Campus at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, a partnership with The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences.
Achilles tear surgery and comeback
Experts on back to School health topics
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new automated drone inspection system that can respond rapidly to unusual electric grid behavior, especially in remote areas that are tough for a worker to reach. ORNL demonstrated the new approach at a training facility for powerline workers owned by utility partner EPB of Chattanooga in Tennessee.
Korean researchers have successfully developed an integrated ultra-high-speed compander system, which combines a compressor and an expander, utilizing advanced design technology.
PPPL scientists have observed new details of how plasma interacts with magnetic fields, potentially providing insight into the formation of enormous plasma jets that stretch between the stars.
Conventional Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors struggle with high-curvature surfaces due to limited dynamic range. This research introduces an adaptive spot matching (ASM) technique that significantly expands the sensor's capabilities.
An international teams of authors provide a comprehensive review on microsphere-assisted quantitative phase microscopy, a technique in which transparent microspheres are integrated with coherence scanning interference and digital holographic microscopies to enhance imaging resolution. The authors discuss the associated open questions, technical challenges, and research and development opportunities as well.
Psilera, Inc. (Psilera), a leading biotechnology company developing therapies for rare neurological disorders, has received initial toxicity readouts from maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in vivo studies showing a strong safety profile.
