University of California, Berkeley, researchers have created engineered crystal structures that display an unusual physical phenomenon known as negative capacitance. Incorporating this material into advanced silicon transistors could make computers…
MIT biological engineers have devised a way to perform large-scale screens of how T cells such as this one recognize specific pathogens, such as the HIV viruses (yellow) show in…
MIT researchers developed a method that helps a user understand a machine-learning model’s reasoning, and how that reasoning compares to that of a human. Credit: Christine Daniloff, MIT A new…
A new study reveals that an ancient collision on the Moon’s south pole changed patterns of convection in the lunar mantle, concentrating a suite of heat-producing elements on the nearside.…
New research published in Diabetologia (the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes [EASD]) finds that the consumption of healthy plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, coffee,…
Many people, especially the elderly, suffer from abnormal sleep. In particular, the deep sleep phases become shorter and shallower with age. Deep sleep is important for the regeneration of the…

Prospects to leverage overcoming the limitations of ‘zinc-air batteries’, promising next-generation batteries. Developed bifunctional electrocatalyst with staggered p-n heterojunction applying solar cell/semiconductor interface characteristics. Zinc-air batteries, which produce electricity through…
First-of-its-kind survival predictor detects patterns in heart MRIs invisible to the naked eye. A new artificial intelligence-based approach can predict, significantly more accurately than a doctor, if and when a…
The motherboard of a COVID-19 rapid testing device that UF Health researchers helped develop is seen here. The device can return a coronavirus test result as accurately and sensitively as…
