A new opinion piece published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that commercial satellite image archives should be opened to enhance research on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Access […]

Traditional biochemical methods of studying human gene mutations are often laborious and costly. Now bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new simple approach to rapidly check on human gene changes […]

An AI tool has made a step forward in translating the language proteins use to dictate whether they form sticky clumps similar to those linked to Alzheimer’s disease and around fifty other types of human […]

Monash University scientists are urging caution around recent claims of breakthroughs in green nitrate fertilizer production, warning there is more work to do before the concept is market-ready.This post was originally published on this site

An international team of researchers has developed BiaPy, an open-code artificial intelligence platform that facilitates the analysis of biomedical images using deep learning techniques. The work has been published in Nature Methods.This post was originally […]

A new study led by James Cook University Senior Research Officer and Lecturer, and University of New South Wales Ph.D. candidate, Hillary Smith, has examined the effectiveness of coral seeding devices to help corals survive […]

Enhancing wheat plants’ sugar signaling ability could deliver increased yields of up to 12%, according to researchers from Rothamsted, Oxford University and the Rosalind Franklin Institute, published in the journal Nature Biotechnology. That is an […]

No more rancid hazelnuts: A research team at the URV has developed a method that can identify nuts that have gone bad due to oxidation. The technique uses infrared light to determine the chemical composition […]

Scientists at Northwestern University and University of California, Santa Barbara have created the first synthetic fragment of tau protein that acts like a prion. The “mini prion” folds and stacks into strands (or fibrils) of […]
