Artificial intelligence algorithms have now been combined with traditional laboratory methods to uncover promising drug leads against human enterovirus鈥71 (EV71), the pathogen behind most cases of hand, foot and mouth disease. The study, published today in Cell Reports Physical Science by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, showed that reliable antiviral predictions can be made even when only a modest amount of experimental data are available.
An $11.5 million sponsorship will launch a new research institute at Tufts focused on materials science and engineering. The Tufts Epsilon Materials Institute is a collaboration between manufacturer Epsilon Group and the university to advance innovations in materials that address global challenges in energy and sustainability.
A research team led by Dr. Ju-Yul Lee and Dr. Seil Kim from the Energy & Environment Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed the world鈥檚 first eco-friendly silver (Ag) plating technology using a phosphorus (P) compound as a key plating component.
The U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO) and the University of Florida (UF) have announced a dynamic new partnership to advance science education and public outreach at a future Next Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) antenna site in Florida.
This collaboration, signed with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the debut of the ngVLA prototype antenna in New Mexico last week, brings together world-class scientific expertise and educational leadership to create unique opportunities for students, educators, and the public across Florida. If constructed, the ngVLA, a flagship project recommended by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey, would be the most advanced radio telescope of its kind, capable of probing the universe with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution
In a landmark advance in microsensor technology, researchers have unveiled an ultra-sensitive gas detection method using surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors enhanced by the physics of exceptional points (EPs). These EPs, phenomena from non-Hermitian systems where eigenvalues and eigenvectors converge, allow for amplified signal response.
A computer scientist from Washington University in St. Louis developed a problem-solving architecture modeled on neurobiology that leverages quantum mechanical behavior to guarantee optimal solutions to complex problems.
Some plants produce oils with properties that are particularly good for biofuels, but not all of these plants are suitable for being grown on a large scale. To solve this dilemma, scientists modified the seeds of camelina and pennycress to produce the same type of oil made by the burning bush plant. The result is plants that produce nearly pure, high-quality oil with improved biofuel properties.

A new collaboration bringing entrepreneurs and investors together with physician-scientists, surgeons, and medical technologists promises to launch the Baltimore region as a major national hub for new biomedical ventures and start-up companies.
As lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) continue to power electric vehicles and energy storage systems, their long-term health remains a critical challenge. A groundbreaking new method combines deep learning with physical modeling to deliver rapid, accurate degradation diagnosis at the electrode level. This innovative approach requires only 11 data points from a charging cycle, achieving reliable predictions in just 2.5 minutes. By simplifying the data needed and eliminating the need for specialized equipment, this technique offers a faster, more accessible solution to battery health monitoring鈥攑aving the way for safer, more efficient battery management in large-scale applications.
With more than 181.5 billion tons of wood produced globally each year, a new method could revolutionize how we build sustainably. By infusing red oak with ferrihydrite using a simple, low-cost process, researchers strengthened the wood at the cellular level without adding weight or altering flexibility 鈥 offering a durable, eco-friendly alternative to steel and concrete.
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Traditional methods for measuring these emissions are often limited by their focus on individual compounds, leading to incomplete emission profiles.
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University have achieved a major breakthrough in measuring ultrafast laser pulses, overcoming a long-standing challenge in strong-field physics. Led by Dr. Eugene Frumker, the team developed a precise method to measure laser intensity and duration at the interaction point using ion analysis. This advancement improves accuracy in laser-driven experiments, paving the way for new discoveries in attosecond science and strong field physics.
Researchers have developed a method to evaluate and optimize the design of multimode quantum computers. Superconducting quantum processors must be operated at extremely low temperatures, achieved using dilution refrigerators. In multimode computers, these refrigerators must be connected via optical links that shuttle fragile quantum information.
Inspired by a visit to ORNL鈥檚 Manufacturing Demonstration Facility, Jonaaron Jones launched a career in additive manufacturing that led to founding Volunteer Aerospace and now leading Beehive Industries鈥 external parts business.
