Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have developed a new tool to help analyze data collected from spatial transcriptomics

Public Release: 4-Jun-2015 PLOS An artificial intelligence system has for the first time reverse-engineered the regeneration mechanism of planaria--the small worms whose extraordinary power to regrow body parts has made them a research model in human regenerative medicine. The discovery by Tufts University biologists presents the first model of regeneration discovered by a non-human intelligence…

Engineers could gain better control over the behavior of vortices in power generation and other applications with a mathematical model linking these vortices with more pedestrian types, like smoke rings. Gaining deeper insight into the formation of vortex rings, which are swirling, ring-shaped d

Cage structures made with nanoparticles could be a route toward making organized nanostructures with mixed materials, and researchers at the University of Michigan have shown how to achieve this through computer simulations.

Water clathrates are called "fire ice" when they occur in the ocean. Researchers want to create nanoparticle clathrate structures.

Cage structures made with nanoparticles could be a route toward making organized nanostructures with mixed materials, and researchers have shown how to achieve this through computer simulations.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have demonstrated how to create cage structures with nanoparticles using computer simulations, which could indicate a way to create structured nanostructures with heterogeneous materials.
