The end goal of this field is to create magnonic circuits, which would be smaller and more energy-efficient than current electronic ones. Until recently, the development of a functional magnonic device could take years of trial-and-error. Researchers from the University of Vienna and the TU Kaiserslautern have developed a new computational method to design new devices in a considera...

April 29, 2021 How might the pandemic change social interaction between older adults, shift dynamics for immigrant workers and reshape local housing markets? How do gender disparities in pay vary across industrialized societies? And how quickly should you respond to that late email from a co-worker? Those are some of the research questions Cornell faculty will pursue with the help of more than $271,000 in grants awarded this spring by the Cornell Center for Social Sciences (CCSS). The grants funded 19 proposals for studies and conferences involving more than 30 faculty members and researchers...

A team led by scientists at the UNC School of Medicine discovered an important vulnerability of the AIDS-causing retrovirus HIV and has shown in preclinical experiments that a widely used diabetes drug, metformin, seems able to exploit this vulnerability. The scientists, whose study is published in Nature Immunology, found that HIV, when it infects immune cells called CD4 T cells, helps fuel its own replication by boosting a key process in the cells’ production of chemical energy. They also found that the diabetes drug metformin inhibits the same process and thereby suppresses HIV replicati...

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill On Monday, March 15 th Dr. Qi Wang joins FPG’s Carolina Consortium on Human Development to present Causes and Consequences of Memory Development: Perspectives Through a Cultural Lens as part of our Spring 2021 series on Culture & Developmental Science: Considering Context, Culture, and Intersectional Approaches !

 E-Mail Many cognitive neurodevelopmental disorders are a result of too many or too few copies of certain genes or chromosomes. To date, no treatment options exist for this class of disorders. MECP2 duplication syndrome (MDS) is one such disorder that primarily affects boys and results from a duplication spanning the methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) locus located on the X chromosome. A preclinical study published from the laboratory of Dr. Huda Zoghbi, professor at Baylor College of Medicine and director of the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospit...
