Backed by a $3.7 million grant from the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health, Alvarez is leading a multi-institutional team of engineers, optometrists, vision researchers, sports medicine physicians, balance experts and biostatisticians seeking to establish guidelines that will help clinicians diagnose and treat concussion-related convergence insufficiency.

Researchers present the first comprehensive ancient DNA data retrieved from peoples culturally affiliated with the iconic Etruscans in the journal Science Advances, settling a long-lasting debate on the origins of this highly skilled and enigmatic culture

A new, 3D-printable polymer nanocomposite ink developed by Michigan Tech engineers has incredible properties like conducting electricity and high tensile strength — and many applications in aerospace, medicine and electronics.

Current beamforming networks (BFNs) based on which next-generation wireless systems are designed to require multiple circuit layers for implementation, which increases costs. Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and the European Space Agency have now introduced a novel matrix topology for a BFN that reduces the number of layers BFNs typically need. This paves the way for cheaper and more efficient next-generation wireless systems.

A UC Davis Health study suggests that unusual visual inspection of objects may precede the development of the social symptoms that are characteristic of autism syndrome disorder.
