Researchers find RNA editing sites likely play a more significant role in genetic disease
New findings by University at Buffalo researchers reveal that RNA editing may play a larger role in human biology and in the development of human disease than has generally been understood......»»
Researchers develop deep-learning model that outperforms Google AI system to predict peptide structures
Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed a deep-learning model, called PepFlow, that can predict all possible shapes of peptides—chains of amino acids that are shorter than proteins, but perform similar biological functions......»»
Uranium science researchers investigate feasibility of intentional nuclear forensics
Despite strong regulations and robust international safeguards, authorities routinely interdict nuclear materials outside of regulatory control. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are exploring a new method that w.....»»
Study projects loss of brown macroalgae and seagrasses with global environmental change
Researchers predict that climate change will drive a substantial redistribution of brown seaweeds and seagrasses at the global scale. The projected changes are alarming due to the fundamental role of seaweeds and seagrasses in coastal ecosystems, and.....»»
Kick-starting seagrass for a climate-proof sea
Once upon a time, seagrass meadows of about 150 square kilometers covered the bottom of the Dutch Wadden Sea. Now, seagrasses have all but disappeared, just like in many other places in the world. But these unique saltwater plants play a vital role i.....»»
What can social media tell us about public views on climate change?
IIASA researchers contributed to a new study, analyzing the main narratives in public discussions of climate change on social media. The research is published in the journal Current Research in Environmental Sustainability......»»
Genetic discovery delays peach bloom, safeguards crops from spring frost
In a pivotal advancement for fruit agriculture, scientists have pinpointed a gene mutation in peach trees that governs the timing of flowering, a trait critical for evading spring frosts. This genetic insight could transform breeding practices, enabl.....»»
Young voters have growing power, but broken politics leave them "fatalistic," studies find
Young voters from the millennial generation and Gen Z are emerging as the demographic center of power in American politics, but new studies by UC Berkeley researchers find they are fatalistic about critical problems such as economic inequality, clima.....»»
Will GTA 6 be on PC?
We're all counting the days until we can play GTA 6, but will PC players be left out of the party like always? Here's what we know about GTA 6 coming to PC......»»
Only 4% of teen football academy prospects make top tier, study finds
Just 4% of talented teen academy prospects make it to the top tier of professional football, a new study has shown. A sample of nearly 200 players, aged between 13–18, also revealed only 6% of the budding ballers even go on to play in lower leagues.....»»
Aging Might Not Be Inevitable
There are biological underpinnings to aging—and so researchers are investigating cell manipulations, transfusions of young blood, and chemical compounds that can mimic low-calorie diets......»»
Scientists develop the next generation of highly efficient memory materials with atom-level control
Like the flutter of a butterfly's wings, sometimes small and minute changes can lead to big and unexpected results and changes in our lives. A team of researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) has made a very small change t.....»»
Exciting applications for marine degradable, bio- and CO2-based PISOX polymers
Researchers at the Industrial Sustainable Chemistry (ISC) group at the Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences have developed a new class of bio- and CO2 based PISOX polymers with surprising properties and applications......»»
Key mechanism of herpesvirus egress uncovered, offering new target for antiviral therapies
An international team of researchers, led by the Leibniz Institute of Virology (LIV), have uncovered crucial details on how herpesviruses exit the cell nucleus without compromising the integrity of the nuclear envelope. Herpesvirus infections are wid.....»»
New method visualizes ligands on gold nanoparticles in liquid
The University of Antwerp and CIC biomaGUNE have come up with a promising method for understanding the role of surface molecules in the formation of nanoparticles. The groundbreaking research, published in Nature Chemistry, provides an advanced chara.....»»
Researchers create green solvent to boost lignin applications
Lignin, the glue that holds fibers together in trees and plants, is one of the most common yet one of the most complex biocomposites, because there are so many variants and qualities. Its heterogeneous chemical structure makes it difficult to investi.....»»
Visual explanations of machine learning models to estimate charge states in quantum dots
A group of researchers has successfully demonstrated automatic charge state recognition in quantum dot devices using machine learning techniques, representing a significant step toward automating the preparation and tuning of quantum bits (qubits) fo.....»»
Fish mucus: A form of maternal immunity like mammalian milk
Maternal immunity refers to the immunity transferred across the placenta, colostrum, milk or eggs from mother to offspring. It plays a key role in protecting the vulnerable offspring against pathogenic attacks, and is present in nearly all vertebrate.....»»
"Power rivalry in space": China lunar mission fuels US misinformation
A historic lunar mission has demonstrated China's growing scientific prowess, but the feat has set off a torrent of misinformation targeting the United States that researchers say reflects their bitter competition in space......»»
Researchers just solved AI’s biggest conundrum
That's roughly the draw of a 100W light bulb, and a 50x improvement over the 700W that an NVIDIA H100 GPU consumes......»»
