Mit researchers developed COMET, a ChatGPT-inspired model of artificial intelligence, to design ultra-efficient nanoparticles. This breakthrough dramatically accelerates the development of a new generation of RNA vaccines and personalized therapies to treat obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
By analyzing 25 years of satellite data and sea samples, scientists have discovered significant changes in the composition of phytoplankton around Antarctica, affecting the food chain and the ability of the ocean to store carbon, warning of the far-reaching consequences of climate change
Discover the history of the Quabbin Reservoir, a monumental source of drinking water for Boston, created by the flooding of four towns. Learn all about the engineering marvel, the sacrifice of thousands of people, the incredible return of bald eagles, and why this area has become a key sanctuary for Massachusetts wildlife
Research from Emory University on the International Space Station found that microgravity promotes faster growth and greater resistance of heart cells derived from stem cells. This scientific achievement opens new doors to the development of more effective regenerative therapies for the treatment of severe heart damage.
Scientists at MIT and Duke University are using an advanced machine learning model to discover new molecules, mechanophores, that make plastics extremely tear-resistant. This innovative strategy, which is based on the incorporation of "weak links" into polymers, promises longer-lasting products and a significant reduction in global plastic waste.
Research conducted on the International Space Station (ISS) brings a turning point in the fight against blindness. Oculogenex's innovative gene therapy, targeting the BMI1 gene, not only stops retinal deterioration caused by macular degeneration, but also shows the incredible potential of restoring damaged cells.
