A joint team of researchers led by scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) has reported the fastest quantum random number generator (QRNG) to date based on international benchmarks. The QRNG, which passed the required randomness tests of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, could produce random numbers at a rate nearly a thousand times faster than other QRNG.  

With a $3M award from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, UH will create a state-of-the-art facility to offer researchers the most comprehensive targeted proteomic cancer biomarker screens currently feasible. 

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an irreversible inflammatory lung disease. Studies have shown that macrophages and estrogen receptors play a pivotal regulatory role in the development of COPD. Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini, CCA, or donkey-hide gelatin), a traditional Chinese medicine, has anti-inflammatory and lung function-protective effects, but its specific mechanism in COPD remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the immunomodulatory effects of Ejiao on COPD, focusing on its impact on inflammatory pathways and macrophages.

A new microfluidic device promises to revolutionize kidney disease screening by enabling rapid, accurate, and low-cost testing of creatinine levels in urine. 

Microfluidic contact lenses (MCLs) are redefining what it means to see clearly—by doing much more than correcting vision.
