Researchers from Peking University have integrated breath sampling, ion mobility spectrometry detection for gas chromatography and machine learning models to develop a non-invasive exhaled breath screening system for COVID-19.

Researchers have used computational and experimental approaches to identify cancer drugs that have shown promise for treating pulmonary hypertension, a rare and incurable lung disease

People at risk from strokes and heart attacks could benefit from personalized clotting profiles to help clinicians prescribe more precise treatments, thanks to new research.

Scientists have created wearable, stitchable and sensitive sensors from flexible polymers and bundles of carbon fiber. Like our skin, these sensors respond to pressure and can measure body position and movement.

New research details a novel method called Repair-seq that reveals in exquisite detail how genome editing tools work.

Throughout Earth's oceans runs a conveyor belt of water. Its churning is powered by differences in the water's temperature and saltiness, and weather patterns around the world are regulated by its activity. Slower ocean circulation as the result of climate change could intensify extreme cold weather in the U.S., research suggests.

Columbus was not the first European to reach the Americas. The Vikings got there centuries beforehand, although exactly when has remained unclear. Here, scientists show that Europeans were already active in the Americas in 1021 AD.

In a novel, broad assessment of bacterial-fungal interactions, researchers using unique bioinformatics have found that fungi host a remarkable diversity of bacteria.

Algorithms and analytics are now common used by professional sports, in sales forecasts, lending decisions and by car insurance providers. Managers and other decision makers no longer simply “go with their gut.” But, new research suggests, doctors often remain reluctant to introduce such information when making medical decisions for patients.

A new perspectives piece relates machine learning to biological learning, showing that the two approaches aren’t interchangeable, yet can be harnessed to offer valuable insights into how the brain works.
