Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced that the 『Data Quality Standard for Data Analysis & Machine Learning』, which has been developed to promote the international standardization in the AI, has finally been established as an official international standard.
Novel treatments, including targeted therapies and antibody drug conjugates, as well as research into improving quality of life for patients with breast cancer, headline studies led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and presented at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024 in Barcelona, Spain.
Redlining from the 1930s, marked minority and low-income neighborhoods as “hazardous,” which influenced mortgage and insurance decisions. Results show that redlined areas have less greenspace and more pavement, intensifying urban heat. While higher temperatures generally decreased walking in “still desirable” or “best” neighborhoods, this effect was not significant in “definitely declining” or “hazardous” areas, possibly due to greater reliance on walking for essential activities. Findings underscore the lasting impact of discriminatory policies on environmental vulnerability and physical activity.
Varda Space Industries, Inc., the world's first in-space pharmaceutical processing and hypersonic Earth re-entry logistics company, together with SSPC, the Research Ireland Centre for Pharmaceuticals, today announced a research collaboration that aims to advance mathematical modeling of crystallization in microgravity, the first such framework that considers polymorphism.
Increased capabilities in the human-occupied submersible Alvin open a window on a rarely seen behavior
Researchers in ACS Central Science report a sugar-like polymer that traps heavy metals within insoluble clumps for easy removal. In proof-of-concept tests, the polymer removed ionic cadmium and lead from river water spiked with these persistent contaminants.
An innovative approach in battery technology, known as carrier pre-intercalation, is revolutionizing post-lithium batteries by enhancing electrode materials' electrochemical performance. This method effectively narrows the performance gap with lithium-ion batteries, offering a promising strategy to sustainable and efficient power solutions.
A recent study discovered that applying 5-Azacytidine, a DNA methylation inhibitor, significantly reduces tomato susceptibility to gray mold, a common postharvest fungal disease. This epigenetic strategy enhances the fruit's natural defense system, offering a sustainable and innovative method to boost crop resistance without genetic modification.
Cosmic radiation is an obstacle to space travel...stop it with BNNT fibers!A research team led by Dr. Dae-Yoon Kim from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a new composite fiber that can effectively block neutrons in space radiation.
"When something is said to be impossible, there are two points for researchers to initially clarify: whether it really is forbidden by the laws of nature; or whether it is simply that no material that currently exists in nature can do that." Metamaterials are such magical beings, which have physical properties like invisibility, negative refraction, super-resolution, and perfect absorption that are absent from natural materials. It has been rated by Science as one of the top ten scientific and technological breakthroughs affecting human beings in the 21st century.
KIMM develops seawater-based self-charging energy harvester. Newly developed energy harvester, which is capable of generating 4.2 times more electrical power compared with existing devices, is expected to be used for small-sized equipment such as devices for monitoring ocean environments
Cal State Fullerton’s Housing and Residential Engagement office is hosting a watch party from 5:30-7 p.m. tonight for CSUF students to view Donald Trump and Kamala Harris' first presidential debate of 2024.
University of Washington researchers have developed a flexible, durable electronic prototype that can harvest energy from body heat and turn it into electricity that can be used to power small electronics, such as batteries, sensors or LEDs. This device is also resilient — it still functions even after being pierced several times and then stretched 2,000 times.
The industry leader in automated environmental monitoring and synchronized time solutions looks to continue success and community involvement for years to come
By combining the U’s innovation engine with EPIC’s extensive network, the partnership will catalyze growth for early-stage technology companies across various sectors, including software, health and life sciences and financial technology.
A two-year interdisciplinary study at UF examines synthetic oxytocin’s potential as an alternate pain management option for older adults.
TORL BioTherapeutics, LLC (TORL), a clinical stage biotechnology company discovering and developing new antibody-based immunotherapies to improve and extend the lives of patients with cancer worldwide, today announced the appointment of Howard A. "Skip" Burris III, MD, FACP, FASCO as Board Member.
