Michigan's football team ended their season on a high note, beating Alabama 19-13 in the ReliaQuest Bowl. The Wolverines' defense was the star of the show, sacking Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe five times and forcing him to turn over the ball three times. This victory was a big deal for Michigan,
Biocatalysis is all about using enzymes to make stuff, and it's a big deal for many industries. One cool way scientists are making it even better is by looking back in time. They use something called ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) to figure out what ancient enzymes might have looked like. T
Let's chat about some popular AI tools that help write code. GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer, and ChatGPT are big names here. We put them to the test using the HumanEval Dataset to see how well they do compared to each other. We checked how often they churn out correct code and things like code
Thrips are tiny but mighty pests that wreak havoc on cowpeas in Hainan, China. Traditional pesticide methods often miss the mark because thrips are small and like to hide. Researchers set out to improve pesticide effectiveness by tweaking how and when they're applied. They tested different times of
Linearly Transformed Cosines, or LTCs, are a set of tools used for quick and accurate shading in games. They're great because they can be calculated quickly. Right now, game engines use LTCs to mimic a model called GGX, but only in its simplest form called isotropic GGX. When it comes to the more co
Atopic dermatitis (AD) patients often face lipid metabolism issues, leading to the long-term use of lipid-lowering drugs. However, the influence of circulating lipids and these medications on AD risk remains unclear. To shed light on this, researchers utilized genome-wide association studies (GWAS)
Climate change is pushing many animals to the brink, and surprisingly, winter conditions might be a key factor. Take bumble bees, for instance. These crucial pollinators are struggling due to climate change, but scientists are only beginning to understand how winters affect them. It turns out, bumbl
Imagine this: your small business, which you've poured your heart into, now has to share personal info like your home address and ID with the government. Seems invasive, right? Well, that's what the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is all about. This law, aimed at stopping money laundering, was rece
MoS2 is a widely available material with a stable structure, adjustable energy gap, and easy shear properties. These features make it valuable in fields like catalysis and biomedicine. However, its biocatalytic activity needs improvement for practical use in biomedicine. In this study, scientists cr
