Data from Fitbits show that changing time twice a year does not affect people’s overall step counts but does impact when they are getting their steps in.
A Lehigh University bioengineering researcher is developing a new method to improve detection of critical congenital heart disease in newborns. Using seismocardiography—an approach that measures chest vibrations—the work aims to address key limitations of pulse oximetry, including reduced accuracy in some patients and missed conditions that do not affect blood oxygen levels.
Researchers have developed a new methodology that uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools to identify and count target viruses more efficiently than previous techniques. The new approach can be used in applications such as pharmaceutical biomanufacturing.
The study serves as a proof of principle for identifying small molecules that disrupt fibril formation without affecting droplet function.
Massive blooms of Sargassum seaweed that have inundated coastlines across the Atlantic since 2011 likely originate off the coast of West Africa—forming years before they are visible and overturning long-standing assumptions about where these events begin.
A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a gene on or off. Essentially, each type of protein that interacts with a gene produces different behaviors – a finding with ramifications for everything from biomedical therapeutics to biological computing.
