A new research center based at the University of Glasgow is setting out to develop the ‘cognitive’ cities of the future which will revolutionize urban life. The Centre for Integrated Sensing and Communication Enabling Cognitive…
Researchers Shed Further Light onto Zinc Homeostasis in…
A research group has unearthed how zinc transporter complexes regulate zinc ion (Zn2+) concentrations in different areas of the Golgi apparatus and revealed that this mechanism finely tunes the chaperone protein ERp44. The findings, which…
Laser-induced Monolayer Graphene Nanoprocessing
Illustration of a graphene film being hole-drilled by laser irradiation. The size of the carbon atoms is exaggerated and differs from the actual size. IMAGE: Yuuki Uesugi Tohoku University researchers have applied their simple femtosecond…
LHC experiments see first evidence of a rare…
The discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 marked a significant milestone in particle physics. Since then, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have been diligently investigating the properties of this unique particle and…
Machine intelligence for designing molecules and reaction pathways
Designing the network of bonds linking atoms into molecules and suggesting chemical routes to make the molecules can now be done simultaneously. Researchers in Japan have developed a machine learning process that simultaneously designs new…
