Ever wondered how your body might react to a medicine before you take it? That's where personalized medicine comes in. By combining pharmacogenomics (studying how your genes affect your response to drugs) with nanotechnology, scientists are creating something called nano-enabled pharmacogenomics. Th
In a surprising move, California Governor Gavin Newsom is giving electric car buyers a boost – but with a twist. He's brought back a cash incentive program, aiming to make clean cars more affordable for everyone. However, there's a catch: Tesla, a big name in the electric vehicle world, isn't invite
Imagine if someone offered you a deal, and you thought it was a bit low – that's what's going on in the Italian banking world! Banco BPM is having a bit of a spat with UniCredit over a takeover bid. UniCredit comes knocking with a 10 billion-euro offer, but Banco BPM's board said, "Thank you, but no
Have you ever wondered why learning Mandarin can be such a challenge? With China's growing influence worldwide, many people from non-Chinese countries are diving into the language. But teaching and learning this language isn't a walk in the park. In fact, it comes with a bunch of obstacles. To find
Let's dive into the world of dating apps! A recent study explored how certain personality traits and behaviors affect people's success in finding dates and intimate relationships online. Think of dating apps as digital mating grounds, similar to how animals might gather in the wild. Researchers look
Imagine controlling a robotic arm just by thinking about it. That's what Neuralink, a company founded by Elon Musk, is hoping to achieve. They've started a new trial to see if their brain implant can let people with paralysis move a robotic arm with their minds. Neuralink says this is a big step tow
Making semiconductors often leaves tiny issues, like dangling bonds and charge traps, on channels and interfaces. Fixing these can be tough, especially with small structures and thin materials like MoS 2 . High-energy treatments might cause more harm than good. So, scientists turned to hydrogen io
The war in Yemen back in 2015 threw a wrench into the country's water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) systems. Suddenly, there was an acute shortage of safe water, poor sanitation, and hygiene. Microbial water quality took a nosedive. Cholera outbreaks in 2016/2017 were the wake-up call that sparked
Did you know that some polymer crystals can conduct heat really well? Researchers dug into a big library of polymers to find some that are superstars at this. They used special math and physics rules to figure out which ones could help cool down things like computers and phones. They found that some
In the world of machine learning, not everyone has the expertise to train models. That's why data owners often team up with model owners to create better, more generalized models. The problem? Privacy and confidentiality. Data owners want their data to stay secret, while model owners don't want thei
