A new study by researchers at Penn State and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), has identified 10 regions in the Marek's disease virus’s genome that likely played a role in increases its virulence, results could inform the development of next-generation vaccines that are more effective at preventing future breakthroughs.

USC researchers have developed an approach that uses artificial intelligence to generate detailed maps that highlight differences in how distinct parts of the brain age. The new model also sheds light on how patterns of brain changes correlate with changes in cognitive function across the lifespan, according to a new USC study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

MIT researchers developed a scalable fabrication platform for damage-free integration of molecular materials into nanoscale functional electronic devices, which could enable applications in emerging computing, sensing, and quantum technologies.
