The future of metals research with artificial intelligence
A research team has developed an optimal artificial intelligence model to predict the yield strength of various metals, effectively addressing traditional cost and time limitations.
Adults conceived by donors left behind by fertility industry
Children conceived by using egg or sperm donors have the same well-being outcomes as non-donor conceived people.
Analysis suggests 2021 Texas abortion ban resulted in increase in infant deaths in state in year after law went into effect
Researchers use statistical modeling to estimate infant deaths expected if one of the country’s most stringent state abortion laws had not been enacted. The study estimates that infant deaths in Texas increased more than expected in the year following …
A heart of stone: Study defines the process of and defenses against cardiac valve calcification
The human body has sophisticated defenses against the deposition of calcium minerals that stiffen heart tissues, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and collaborators at UCLA Health and the University of Texas at Austin found in …
Materials research revolutionized by a small change
Scientists develop the next generation of highly efficient memory materials with atom-level control.
Synthetic fuels and chemicals from CO2: Ten experiments in parallel
Why do just one experiment at a time when you can do ten? Researchers have developed an automated system, which allows them to research catalysts, electrodes, and reaction conditions for CO2 electrolysis up to ten times faster. The system is complement…
Light-controlled artificial maple seeds could monitor the environment even in hard-to-reach locations
Researchers have developed a tiny robot replicating the aerial dance of falling maple seeds. In the future, this robot could be used for real-time environmental monitoring or delivery of small samples even in inaccessible terrain such as deserts, mount…
