In humans, laboratory mice, and all other known mammals, when brain cells are starved of oxygen they run out of energy and begin to die

Too ubiquitous to be a signal, it turns out to be—a signal

Researchers estimate that approximately 3,000 tons of PHCZs are contained in the sediment of the three lakes, with Lake Michigan having the greatest concentrations

The new film is made of fused silver nanowires, and is produced by spraying the nanowire particles through a tiny jet nozzle at supersonic speed

In a project involving eight studies, researchers developed a scale designed to quantify the extent to which people moralize rationality

Unlike conventional solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity that must be stored in heavy batteries, the new device essentially does the work of plants, converting atmospheric carbon dioxide into fuel

Electroplated polymer makes transparent, highly conductive, ultrathin film

A team of climate scientists made the surprising discovery from three years of data collected at Summit Camp

Researchers  hope the finding will allow them to cut off the microbes’ ability to survive what doctors and nature can throw at them

Team's work offers the possibility of a battery with high efficiency and good cycle life

Researchers have solved the long-standing conundrum of how the boundary between grains of graphene affects heat conductivity in thin films of the miracle substance — bringing developers a step closer to being able to engineer films at a scale useful for cooling microelectronic devices and hundreds of other nano-tech applications.

As nanotechnology makes possible a world of machines too tiny to see, researchers are finding ways to combine living organisms with nonliving machinery to solve a variety of problems.

Sites where DNA is damaged may cause a molecule that slides along the DNA strand to scan for damage to slow on its patrol, delaying it long enough to recognize and initiate repair. The finding suggests that the delay itself may be the key that allows the protein molecule to find its target, according to researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The University of Illinois at Chicago’s (UIC) Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has received a $5.5 million research contract from the Illinois Department of Transportation to continue research, development and operation of the Gateway Traveler Information System and the TravelMidwest.com website.
