The modeling and simulation of self-organized intracellular twisters in the Drosophila oocyte
Cytoplasmic streaming is the large-scale motion of cytoplasm (i.e., gelatinous liquid inside cells) inside a living cell. This flow, known to regulate various intracellular processes, can vary greatly between different cell types at different stages.....»»
Managing Type 1 Diabetes Is Tricky. Can AI Help?
In a simulation, AI learned fast and helped virtual patients meet their blood glucose targets. Can machine learning be trusted to help real people too?.....»»
New study evaluates uncertainties in modeling El Niño-related changes in atmospheric circulation
A research team from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has examined the performance of eight prominent reanalysis datasets in capturing regional Hadley Circulation (HC) responses to El Niño–Southern Osci.....»»
Simulation claims to find solutions to a central mystery in space physics
How are plasma eruptions in near-Earth space formed? Vlasiator, a model designed at the University of Helsinki for simulating near-Earth space, demonstrated that the two central theories on the occurrence of eruptions are simultaneously valid: erupti.....»»
Bees Are Astonishingly Good at Making Decisions
Computer modeling explains a key facet of bees’ decision-making skills—something only seen previously in humans and other primates.....»»
New light-responsive carriers for intracellular substance delivery
Artificial lipid bilayer vesicle liposomes, also called proteoliposomes, are specialized systems capable of incorporating various molecules, such as chemicals and drugs. Their unique properties make them ideal carriers for delivering substances insid.....»»
Scientists Are Gene-Editing Flies to Fight Crop Damage
The spotted-wing drosophila is a threat to fruit growers across the US and Europe. Crispr could thwart the pest’s numbers......»»
56 million-year-old Eocene global warming may indicate a wetter future
Modeling of Earth's response to global warming has suggested dry regions will become more arid and wet regions will experience more precipitation, with an uneven distribution of moisture in the atmosphere. With enhanced seasonality, there will likely.....»»
EncroChat dismantling lead to 6500 arrests, EUR 900 million seized
Worldwide, 6558 arrests follow the dismantling of EncroChat, a tool favored by organized crime groups (OCGs). 197 of those arrested were high-value targets. This result is detailed in the first review of EncroChat, presented today by the French and D.....»»
Animation shows what the world would look like if you could see carbon dioxide emissions
It's a strange, eerie-looking place. Carbon dioxide gas appears… and disappears in cycles and bursts throughout the year. It's how our planet would look if we could detect carbon dioxide (CO2) with our eyes. Scientists at NASA's Global Modeling and.....»»
Remote lake emissions from the Tibetan Plateau challenge global climate modeling
Earth's complex systems interact between atmospheric, terrestrial, hydrological, cryological (ice and snow) and biological processes in feedback loops. Understanding their relationships is important for modeling their future impacts, particularly reg.....»»
How hardening Microsoft 365 tenants mitigates potential cloud attacks
Moving critical data and workloads to the cloud has significantly changed information security teams. But most don’t have the resources to be successful in their cloud attack modeling—not to mention the deployment of measurable controls to defend.....»»
New nationwide modeling points to widespread racial disparities in urban heat stress
From densely built urban cores to sprawling suburbia, cities are complex. This complexity can lead to temperature hot spots within cities, with some neighborhoods (and their residents) facing more heat than others......»»
Smart yet simple: Creating uniform DNA-encapsulating microgels that mimic a living cell
The living cell harbors physiologically relevant components such as the genetic material (DNA) and proteins in a "self-organized" setting. Understanding this process of self-assembly can reveal the underlying mechanism of self-organization of living.....»»
Better climate modeling and data can help Baltimore weather a hotter, stormier future
If you were to stand at the intersection of Maryland Avenue and West 24th Street in Baltimore's Old Goucher neighborhood and travel back in time 10 years, you would probably be shocked at the transformation. Back then, pavement blanketed the neighbor.....»»
Computational advance can help researchers model climate with higher fidelity
Increased computational power has dramatically improved climate modeling over the past several years, allowing scientists to better forecast long term climate evolution. Despite the computers becoming faster and more efficient, cloud modeling was sti.....»»
Computational mid-infrared photothermal imaging unveils intracellular tau aggregates
As a prominent form of amyloid protein, tau aggregates have emerged as a primary focus of research for uncovering the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration. Various types of tau aggregates, including tau fibrils and oligomers, have been implicated.....»»
Black Kite releases two modeling solutions for ransomware and business interruption scenarios
Black Kite released automated cyber risk quantification (CRQ) modeling for ransomware and business interruption scenarios. The new capabilities, which automates FAIR methodology, extends Black Kite’s data breach CRQ model to now provide visibility.....»»
Harnessing chaos: Simulation experiment demonstrates way to mitigate extreme weather events
RIKEN scientists have demonstrated a way to make small tweaks in weather systems as a means to prevent, or at least reduce, the severity of extreme weather events such as torrential rain. They did this by taking advantage of the chaos that is inheren.....»»
Scientists quantify regulation factors contributing to flux changes in the central metabolic pathway in yeast
Metabolic reaction flux change is the final result of interacting regulations by intracellular gene expression, transcriptional regulation, protein level, translation modification, and allosteric effect. However, the regulatory mechanism of metabolic.....»»
To fight berry-busting fruit flies, researchers focus on sterilizing the bugs
Paul Nelson is used to doing battle with an invasive fruit fly called the spotted wing drosophila, a pest that one year ruined more than half the berries on the Minnesota farm he and his team run. In recent years, they've cut their losses closer to 5.....»»
