7-May-2025 Modern tech unlocks secrets of Bronze Age art University of Cincinnati A Classics researcher at the University of Cincinnati is using state-of-the-art technology to learn more about the mass production and placement of votives in ancient Greece.
6-May-2025 Texas A&M opens Animal Reproductive Biotechnology Center Texas A&M AgriLife Communications Texas A&M AgriLife Research and The Texas A&M University System opened a new state-of-the-art Animal Reproductive Biotechnology Center at Texas A&M-RELLIS campus May 6. The roughly 27,000 square-foot indoor and covered-outdoor biotechnology center in Bryan is a joint project of AgriLife Research and the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Animal Science.
6-May-2025 Groundbreaking AI trained on de-identified patient data to predict healthcare needs Health Data Research UK In a world-first study, an artificial intelligence (AI) model is being trained on a set of NHS data for 57 million people in England, from which personal information has been stripped away. The pilot study is being run by researchers at University College London (UCL) and King’s College London (King’s). The model could transform patient care, identifying opportunities where early interventions might significantly improve or save lives.
6-May-2025 Research reveals hidden gifts of the ‘black box’ for modeling grid behavior DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory To create a more resilient electric grid that meets the nation’s increasing power demands, utilities are incorporating a wider array of energy sources. But this shift requires the ability to predict how the grid will react to fluctuations in the flow of electricity from new sources of power. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a dynamic modeling method that uses machine learning to provide accurate simulations of grid behavior while maintaining what is called a “black box” approach. This technique does not require details about the proprietary technology inside the equipment — in this case, a type of power electronics called an inverter.
6-May-2025 Q&A: Can leisure make us healthier as individuals and as a society? Penn State Leisure can support happiness, well-being and a sense of purpose in life, all of which are associated with better physical and mental health. John Dattilo, professor of recreation, park and tourism management at Penn State, spoke about leisure and its value to individuals and society in this Q&A.
6-May-2025 Often seen as waste, stool may yield clues to microbiome’s role in cancer treatment Mayo Clinic At Mayo Clinic’s Center for Individualized Medicine, scientists are investigating stool samples to uncover new insights into cancer treatment. Often seen as waste, stool may provide valuable information about the microbiome — a complex ecosystem of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi and viruses in the gut.
6-May-2025 Bio-concrete from urine Universitaet Stuttgart Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have used microbial processes to produce environmentally friendly bio-concrete from urine as part of a “wastewater-bio-concrete-fertilizer” value chain. With the project extension granted by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research, and the Arts, the focus now shifts to product optimization and practical testing.
6-May-2025 Reviving Hilsa in Bangladesh’s three billion dollar fishery WorldFish Once on the brink of collapse, Bangladesh’s iconic hilsa fishery—worth three billion dollars annually—is recovering. Through co-management, community incentives, and science-led conservation, fishers are now stewards of the resource, incomes are rising, and the future of this vital species is looking brighter.
6-May-2025 Pitch perfect protection University of Tennessee at Knoxville To protect artists, University of Tennessee researchers have developed HarmonyCloak, a tool that prevents AI from reproducing an artist’s unique sound by embedding imperceptible noises in music data, making it unlearnable to AI models.
