You might have heard about the drop in the cost of short-read sequencing over the past decade. This has led to a boom in experimental techniques that use sequencing to solve specific biological puzzles. The catch? These methods often outrun the standardized ways of analyzing the data they generate.
Most studies about drug traffickers focus on their crimes, but few look at their criminal careers. This study aimed to find out how many stop committing crimes after their first conviction for drug trafficking. It also wanted to know what makes drug traffickers likely to reoffend and how quickly, as
DNA has been a game-changer in crime-solving, but scientists are constantly looking for better ways to use it.

Imagine a tunnel, deep underground, and a controlled explosion happening nearby. Researchers wanted to understand how stress waves from these blasts travel and how they might cause cracks in the tunnel's structure. They built a small model tunnel using cement mortar to mimic real rock. By setting of
Did you know that old batteries and plastic waste can be a match made in heaven? Scientists have found a clever way to recycle both at the same time. They mix old batteries with a type of plastic called polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The result? They can get back valuable metals like lithium, nic
CT scans are crucial for spotting chest diseases. The quality of these images largely depends on their spatial resolution. Thick-slice CT, which is still commonly used due to cost concerns, has a lower spatial resolution that can make diagnoses tricky. Researchers recently developed a deep learning
