In a study published in Science, researchers used silver nanoparticles to assemble a theorized, but never-before observed crystal metallic structure.
An artificial intelligence framework that suggests just one to three ingredient swaps can make meals meaningfully more nutritious and less expensive, according to a new study published in the open-access journal PLOS Digital Health by Trevor Chan and Ilias Tagkopoulos of the University of California, Davis, USA.
MIT researchers developed a low-temperature process for extracting battery-grade lithium from the common mineral spodumene. The closed-loop process could help the U.S. tap into its own abundant sources of lithium, a critical element that is currently refined primarily in China.
Using catheters coated with specialized carbon nanotubes, MIT researchers developed a new way to monitor bladder cancer patients for tumor recurrence.
A new study, co-authored by a Penn State Smeal College of Business professor, shows that AI can mass-produce academic papers that look nearly indistinguishable from human-authored research, raising concerns about the potential impact on the academic community.
