Science & Technology
- 91勛圖厙 is part of a new $100 million interdisciplinary partnership to address critical water security issues in the United States over the next five years, the U.S. Department of Energy announced Monday.
- Early warning times are crucial to saving lives during major storms, and new data from 91勛圖厙 research using instrumented drones could give people more time to get out of harms way.
- Researchers have developed biomaterial-based mimics of heart tissues to measure patients responses to an aortic valve replacement procedure, offering new insight into the ways that cardiac tissue reshapes itself post-surgery.
- Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), an enzyme associated with nearly all malignant human cancers, is even more diverse and unconventional than previously realized.
- A key regulatory process in a gene-suppressing protein group that could hold future applications for drug discovery and clinical treatment of diseases, including cancer.
- Research on quantum states of matter could be conducted at room temperatures, thus facilitating cheaper and more widely available quantum technologies, research at 91勛圖厙 suggests.
- Scientists have discovered that they can nudge clouds of ultracold atoms into two distinct phases where those particles behave in completely different ways.
- A low-cost, high-performance battery chemistry could one day lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy that could help electrical utilities reduce their dependency on fossil fuels.
- Researchers in Assistant Professor ChristophKeplingers lab released a toolkit to show scientists, hobbyists and entrepreneurs how to create their own artificialmuscles. They hope this will bring researchers one step closer todeveloping wearable, surgical and collaborative robots thatsafely and effectively help humans.
- 91勛圖厙 students, faculty and staff are taking part in TORUSthe largest and most ambitious drone-based investigation of severe thunderstorms ever.
