Scientists have discovered a sophisticated mechanism by which Salmonella bacteria hijack a mitochondrial metabolite transporter to survive inside host cells. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, reveal how the pathogen reduces oxidative stress to evade the host defense…
Bringing neural networks to cellphones
Method for modeling neural networks’ power consumption could help make the systems portable. [caption id="attachment_12695" align="alignnone" width="638"] MIT researchers have designed new methods for paring down neural networks so that they’ll run more efficiently on…
From battery waste to electrochemical sensor
Multiplex detection of antioxidants / food additives / preservatives in food samples is possible using our newly developed graphite-based nanocomposite electrochemical sensor from used alkaline battery. The chemical sensor not only leads to shorter analysis…
