Imagine returning to work after a lovely vacation and trying to reboot your computer, only to be greeted by a black or blue screen. Now what? For Sandia National Laboratories employees with an unclassified laptop in the Albuquerque area, they can bring it to one of the two Swift IT Bar locations for in-person assistance.
Fruit firmness plays a critical role in apple quality, influencing both shelf life and consumer preference. Scientists have now identified a natural genetic variation in the MdNAC5 gene that governs differences in apple firmness and ripening speed. By resequencing hundreds of apple hybrids, researchers mapped a key genetic locus and pinpointed a single A-to-T mutation that affects fruit texture. Functional experiments showed that different MdNAC5 variants distinctly regulate ethylene biosynthesis, a central pathway in fruit softening. This discovery offers new insights into the genetic control of apple ripening and opens up potential strategies for breeding apples with optimized firmness and storage properties.
There is a global shortage of omega-3 partly due to environmental factors, according to new research from Case Western Reserve University. This poses a public health and environmental challenge.
A research team led by Dr. Sunghoon Hur of the Electronic and Hybrid Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Professor Hyun-Cheol Song of Korea University has developed a biocompatible ultrasonic receiver that maintains its performance even when bent.
Children鈥檚 Hospital Los Angeles announced that it has entered a strategic collaboration with Sidra Medicine, one of the leading hospitals for children and women in Qatar and the Middle East. The Memorandum of Understanding signed by the two institutions encompasses participation from multiple specialties across each healthcare organization, with the aim of enhancing shared best practices, advisory support, leading-edge research, patient care initiatives, education, and training.
Asst. Prof. Dr. Vitchatalum Laovanich, Assistant to the President of Chulalongkorn University for Art and Culture Engagement, chaired the opening ceremony of the exhibition 鈥淕enesis through Siamese and Persian Eyes鈥� on April 1, 2025, at Chulalongkorn University Museum.
To address critical U.S. Air Force communications needs, FAU engineering鈥檚 Center for Connected Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence has received a $2.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense Air Force Research Laboratory to establish the FAU Center of Excellence for Research and Education in Programmable Wireless Networks. The center will serve as a critical hub for innovation in dynamic spectrum operations, secure wireless systems and training the next generation of national defense engineers.
Climate change is threatening the livelihoods of smallholder farmers across South Asia. In this context, a new study conducted across transboundary regions of Nepal, India, and Bangladesh uncovers the critical factors that influence their ability to adapt. The study reveals that adaptive capacity (AC) depends on a combination of land access, financial resources, and community networks, and knowledge of climate-resilient agricultural practices. The findings show that, while each country faces unique challenges, shared barriers such as unreliable weather information, limited infrastructure, and financial constraints are holding back smallholder farmers. These insights provide a crucial foundation for shaping targeted adaptation policies and improving resilience in vulnerable farming communities.
Study of 555 ancient Egyptian coffins Research focused around the Egyptian sky-goddess Nut Imagery dates back more than 3,000 years
A thorough understanding of insect physiology and ecology can influence sustainable farming practices throughout Africa in the future. This idea formed the basis of the recent inaugural lecture delivered by Professor Christopher Weldon, an entomologist in the Department of Zoology and Entomology at the University of Pretoria (UP).
In the study, appearing April 30 in JAMA Surgery, patients treated with SGLT2i had a small but significantly higher risk of postoperative euglycemic ketoacidosis but a lower risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality at 30 days post-surgery.
A pioneering study has unveiled a revolutionary technique that enhances stem cell therapy for neurodegenerative diseases by combining magnetic guidance with localized ultrasound stimulation. This innovative approach successfully navigates magnetically loaded stem cells to specific brain regions and promotes their differentiation into neurons using a miniaturized ultrasound device.
A research team has developed a novel strategy for isolating high-purity muscle stem cells (MuSCs), fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs), and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from porcine muscle tissue.
A research team reveals the promising antihypertensive effects of egg white hydrolysates (EWH) and ovotransferrin-depleted egg white hydrolysates (OD-EWH) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), suggesting that these natural ingredients could be effective alternatives to traditional pharmaceuticals for managing hypertension.
Led by Drs. Mijeong Han and Young Hun Kang at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), the team combined carbon nanotubes with Bi鈧�.鈧勨倕Sb鈧�.鈧呪倕Te鈧� (BST) in a porous foam structure to maximize thermoelectric performance.
The University of Pretoria (UP) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China鈥檚 Central South University (CSU), formalising an existing collaboration between the two institutions. This agreement aims to strengthen cooperation in areas such as staff and student exchanges, joint education programmes, scientific research and other mutual interests.
