Young children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions and decisions influenced by robots, according to new research. The study compared how adults and children respond to an identical task when in the presence of both their peers and humanoid robots.

Lobachevsky University scientists develop an effective approach to optimizing medicinal molecules, which will significantly accelerate and automate the process of prototype optimization to candidate molecules for subsequent preclinical testing.

HIV-1 replicates in ninja-like ways. The virus slips through the membrane of vital white blood cells. Inside, HIV-1 copies its genes and scavenges parts to build a protective bubble for its copies. Now, supercomputers have helped model a key building block in the HIV-1 protective capsid, which could lead to strategies for potential therapeutic intervention in HIV-1 replication.

Scientists have developed a low-cost method for real-time monitoring of pollutants using commonly available sensors.

A study by University of Melbourne researchers reveals clinically relevant epileptic seizure prediction is possible in a wider range of patients than previously thought, thanks to the crowdsourcing of more than 10 000 algorithms worldwide.

Human water regulation, groundwater lateral flow and the movement of soil frost and thaw fronts affect water and thermal processes, as well as energy and water exchanges between the land surface and atmosphere, therefore appropriate modelling is vital.

Historic levels of particles in the atmosphere released from pre-industrial era fires, and their cooling effect on the planet, may have been significantly underestimated according to a new study.

Radleys “Build a Lego Lab” competition is back and aims this year to more outlandish, clever and crazy Lego lab creations than ever before.

Research shows the myfood24 online diet monitoring tool is as effective as similar tools already available to health care practitioners, researchers and educators, and more efficient to use.
