With conventional methods, it is extremely time-consuming to calculate the spectral fingerprint of larger molecules, but necessary for data interpretation. Now, self-learning graphical neural networks could speed things up.

Researchers have succeded in observing and characterizing the dynamic assembly of metallic atoms using scanning transmission electron microscopy and video-based tracking.

Stress — including traumatic events, career stress and discrimination — may accelerate aging of the immune system by affecting the percentages of T cells. This could increase the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and infection.

A cocktail of four manufactured antibodies has been found to be effective at neutralizing a virus from the Henipavirus family, a group of pathogens considered to be a global biosecurity threat.

MIT researchers have now designed a sensor that can distinguish between viral and bacterial pneumonia infections, which they hope will help doctors to choose the appropriate treatment.

A new analysis has found that inactive yeast could be effective as an inexpensive, abundant and simple material for removing lead contamination from drinking water supplies.

Attosecond pump-probe spectroscopy has been used to study complex multi-photon ionization processes.

Scientists have created bio-based plastics for which degradation can be triggered by irradiation with light. They developed crosslinked polymers containing building blocks based on vanillin, a byproduct of cellulose production.

Advanced fluorescence microscopy imaging has shown how cells form vesicles, resolving the conflict between existing models of how the vesicles form.

The structure of the outer face of the nuclear pore complex and the mechanism by which the complex is held together have been identified.
