The internet of things and the cloud are entering the world of chemical research and production. Researchers have used remote servers in Japan to autonomously optimize conditions to synthesize drugs in a British laboratory.

A majority of the HIV-infected cells that persist in HIV-infected individuals - even during suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) - originated from cellular proliferation, not viral replication.

Crowdsourced data has shown that the proportion of smallholder farms may be much larger than previously thought, contributing much more to global food production.

Researchers at the University of Birmingham are set to benefit from the largest IBM® POWER9™ Artificial Intelligence (AI) cluster in the UK. Working with OCF, the high-performance compute, storage and data analytics integrator, the University will integrate a total of 11 IBM POWER9-based IBM Power Systems servers into its existing high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, the Birmingham Environment for Academic Research (BEAR).

More visitors than ever before and organisers announce dates for next year’s show - 30-31st October 2019.

Droughts or heat waves have consequences that spread beyond farmers anxiously watching their fields; these fluctuations in crop yields can send shockwaves through local and global food supplies and prices. In a new study, researchers added data on when each specific region plants and harvests its crops—and found it was the single most effective way to improve the simulations.

Due to centrifugal force, humans and other animals tend to slow down when we approach a turn. Professor Mandyam Srinivasan's lab is the first to mathematically analyse the relationship between speed, curvature, and centrifugal force in this phenomenon. Their study used a high-speed-multi-camera system to capture video footage of bees loitering outside their hive.

Three people with paralysis participating in the BrainGate clinical trial, an effort that includes Brown University researchers, chatted with family and friends, shopped online and used other tablet computer applications, all by just thinking about pointing and clicking a mouse.

Machine learning – a field of artificial intelligence that uses statistical techniques to enable computer systems to ‘learn’ from data – can be used to analyse electronic health records and predict the risk of emergency hospital admissions, a new study from The George Institute for Global Health at the University of Oxford has found.

People with irregular and abnormally fast heart rates caused by a condition called atrial fibrillation could be at a greater risk of stroke and bleeding because they are not receiving optimal treatment, warn scientists from UCL and The University of Hong Kong (HKU).
