A tedious process of trial and error is normally required to discover ceramic materials that generate electricity under mechanical stress. Known as piezoelectric ceramics, these valuable next-generation materials can replace ...

When scientists study bacteria that are not in a Petri dish or a test tube but in environments that more closely mimic their actual microbial habitats, they often find delightfully unexpected behaviors. For Sujit Datta, a ...

With a five-year survival rate of barely 5%, glioblastoma remains one of the deadliest brain cancers. First-line treatment consists of surgery to remove as much tumor tissue as possible.

For women involved in street sex work who took part in our research, damaged or missing teeth were more than a health problem. They could become visible reminders of lives they were trying to change.

A University of Rochester collaboration is using an AI-powered virtual patient to help dentists strengthen their communication, build trust and better respond to patients' fears and concerns. For many patients, sitting in ...

Influenza continues to cause major illness each year in the United States, leading to more than 35,000 deaths annually. Children, older adults, pregnant individuals, people with weakened immune systems and those with chronic ...

Researchers blocked a naturally occurring molecule to reverse pulmonary arterial hypertension in preclinical models, a finding that could point to a new treatment approach for people with a rare and often fatal lung disease.

In computer vision and robotics, ensuring that AI systems remain reliable under real-world conditions is a growing challenge. Deep neural network (DNN)-based vision systems are increasingly used in safety-critical applications ...

Whakaari/White Island's sudden eruption in December 2019, which killed 22 people and severely injured 25 others, was New Zealand's deadliest volcanic disaster in recent history.

Fungi are major degraders of plant biomass, including leaves, stems and roots. Investigating the molecular mechanisms that control this process is essential for identifying ways to degrade and use lignocellulose, a recalcitrant ...

Today, treatment decisions for patients with mantle cell lymphoma are heavily based on age alone, although the disease can range from slow-growing (indolent) to very aggressive. In a new journal article, Ingrid Glimelius ...

Fermented cocoa occasionally exhibits off-flavors that can compromise the quality of chocolate and other cocoa products. But what causes these undesirable flavors? Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology ...
