The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) has signed a contract with IBM to bring a next-generation supercomputer to Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The OLCF’s new hybrid CPU/GPU computing system, Summit, will be delivered in 2017.
New technology can detect bacterial invaders with unprecedented speed, sensitivity.
Induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) created from adult cells hold promise for therapeutic transplantation, but their potential in this capacity has been limited by failed efforts to maintain such cells in the desirable multi-potent NSC state without continuous expression of the transcription factors used initially to reprogram them.
New TSRI study shows how brain maps develop to help us perceive the world.
Kansas State University researchers have developed a patented method of keeping mosquitoes and other insect pests at bay.
After the worst coral bleaching event ever recorded in Hawai'i, University of Hawai'i scientists and researchers with the Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) are diligently monitoring and testing affected coral reefs in Kane'ohe Bay, along with other areas on O'ahu, and parts of the Northwestern Hawaiian islands.
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) researcher Vladimir Zharov, Ph.D., D.Sc., recently was awarded a $1.5 million grant by the National Institutes of Health to investigate the use of nanoparticles in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
UC Davis research finds walnuts slow prostate cancer growth, among other health benefits
Chlorogenic acid shown to prevent weight gain, maintain blood sugar levels, and promote healthy liver function.
Science begins with observation, and many defining moments in scientific progress followed the introduction of new ways to observe the world, from microscopes and telescopes to X-rays and MRIs.
An electronic “tongue” could one day sample food and drinks as a quality check before they hit store shelves. Or it could someday monitor water for pollutants or test blood for signs of disease. With an eye toward these applications, scientists are reporting the development of a new, inexpensive and highly sensitive version of such a device in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
