2+ hour, 10+ min ago  (761+ words) Creating nearly invisible wearable technologies such as smart contact lenses and ultrathin augmented reality (AR) glasses will require a radical redesign of conventional optical components. Instead of relying on bulky lenses and hardware, researchers are exploring materials that can manipulate…...

5+ day, 9+ hour ago  (226+ words) A scale model is a representation or copy of an object that is larger or smaller than the actual size of the object being represented. Very often the scale model is smaller than the original and used as a guide…...

4+ day, 19+ hour ago  (514+ words) For many years, researchers believed that the DNA inside a newly fertilized egg started out as a structural 'blank slate' -- a loose and disorganized bundle that would only gain order once the embryo began using its own genes. In that…...

4+ day, 19+ hour ago  (359+ words) Scientists from Cleveland Clinic and Cornell University have designed a publicly-available software and web database to break down barriers to identifying key protein-protein interactions to treat with medication. Genomic research is key in drug discovery, but it is not always…...

1+ week, 20+ hour ago  (534+ words) As a researcher specializing in protein dynamics, Professor Doucet is captivated by things that are invisible to the naked eye, yet full of mysteries and essential to all forms of life. He studies proteins and enzymes, and the poorly understood…...

3+ week, 5+ day ago  (592+ words) Creating new molecules is one of the toughest tasks in chemistry. Whether the goal is a life-saving drug or a cutting-edge material, each compound must be built through a carefully planned series of reactions. Mapping out these steps requires deep…...

3+ mon, 2+ week ago  (322+ words) To accomplish this, the researchers created a machine learning platform called SIGNET. Unlike traditional tools that only detect genes that appear to move together, SIGNET is designed to uncover true cause-and-effect relationships. Using this approach, the team identified important biological…...

5+ mon, 1+ week ago  (555+ words) After Chat GPT became widely available in late 2022, many researchers started telling colleagues they could get more done with these new artificial intelligence tools. At the same time, journal editors reported a surge of smoothly written submissions that did not…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago  (1345+ words) Physicists have used a machine learning approach to reveal unexpected details about how particles interact in complex systems. Their work focuses on non-reciprocal forces, where one particle influences another differently than it is influenced in return. The findings, published in…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago  (305+ words) To challenge the long-accepted idea, the researchers built two compact, self-contained surfaces shaped like doughnuts, known as tori. These two surfaces share identical values for both metric and mean curvature, yet their overall structures are not the same. This type…...
