Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is used for noninvasive detection of blood flow. However, current DCS devices need to be improved to increase the signal-to-noise ratio for more accurate measurements. Now, researchers have developed a superconduc…

There is good and bad news about ginseng collection and production in Pennsylvania, and likely much of Appalachia, according to a new study.

Applying a new coarse-graining, spatial method of analysis to satellite imagery, scientists provide a direct measure of the impact of wind driven eddy-killing on the kinetic energy of ocean currents — a continual loss of 50 gigawatts, equivalent to th…

Experts in MS research suggest that cognitive rehabilitation is an effective approach to improving MS-related cognitive impairment.

A new study reveals several drug contenders already in use for other purposes that have been shown to block or reduce SARS-CoV2 infection in cells. The study uses artificial intelligence-powered image analysis of human cell lines during infection with …

The future connection between human waste, sanitation technology and sustainable agriculture is becoming more evident. According to a civil and environmental engineering professor, countries could be moving closer to using human waste as fertilizer, cl…

Experts discuss the growing evidence that beneficial members of microbiomes play critical roles in diverse marine ecosystems, identifying areas where there are still major knowledge gaps.
