Study finds warmer temperatures improve women’s performance
Turning up the thermostat at the office may result in higher productivity for women, a new USC study finds.
Nanotechnology sector ready lend a hand to sports
Iran’s nanotechnology industry has the potential to meet demands of sports organizations and help them deal with challenges, IRNA reported on Monday.
Dangerous pathogens use this sophisticated machinery to infect hosts
Gastric cancer, Q fever, Legionnaires' disease, whooping cough—though the infectious bacteria that cause these dangerous diseases are each different, they all utilize the same molecular machinery to infect human cells. Bacteria use this machinery, called a Type IV secretion system (T4SS), to inject toxic molecules into cells and also to spread genes for antibiotic resistance to fellow bacteria
Machine learning speeds modeling of experiments aimed at capturing fusion energy on Earth
Machine learning (ML), a form of artificial intelligence that recognizes faces, understands language and navigates self-driving cars, can help bring to Earth the clean fusion energy that lights the sun and stars.
US Puts Top Iranian Scientist behind Bars without Trial
The US government has put a top Iranian professor renowned for stem cell research behind bars in Atlanta for alleged sanction violations, a report said.
Activation of gene promoters: Scientists discover basis of regulatory specificity
IMP scientists from the lab of Alexander Stark show why certain activators—enhancers or cofactor proteins—activate specific promoters
Single-atom nanozymes
Nanozymes are catalytic nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics that have attracted enormous recent research interest. The catalytic nanomaterials offer unique advantages of low cost, high stability, tunable catalytic activity and ease of mass production and storage.
Washable, wearable battery-like devices could be woven directly into clothes
Wearable electronic components incorporated directly into fabrics have been developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge. The devices could be used for flexible circuits, healthcare monitoring, energy conversion, and other applications.
Generating high-quality single photons for quantum computing
MIT researchers have designed a way to generate, at room temperature, more single photons for carrying quantum information. The design, they say, holds promise for the development of practical quantum computers.
Russia, US extend agreement on astronauts’ travels to space station on board of Soyuz
According to earlier reports, NASA planned to conclude a deal with Roscosmos for the purchase of two additional seats on Russian carrier rockets Soyuz in 2019-2020
