Swarming is one of the principal forms of bacterial motility facilitated by flagella and surfactants. It plays a distinctive role in both disease and healing. For example, in urinary tract infections (UTIs), swarming bacteria ...
Bacteria can do it, amoebas can do it, even blood cells can do it: They all have the ability to move in a goal-oriented way in liquids. And they do so despite having extremely simple structures without a central control system ...
In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison introduced a deep learning method capable of automatically identifying transition states in protein conformational changes, ...
Nestled in dark burrows, with a limited sense of vision, mice brush their whiskers against their environment to navigate and to detect objects around them. This behavior, termed whisking, has been extensively studied in the ...
Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a plethora of functions, ...
Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed a new type of spintronic device that mimics how synapses work in the brain—offering a path to more energy-efficient and accurate artificial intelligence systems.
So different, yet so alike. Through pollination, bees play an important role in the ecosystem, affecting the life cycle of plants, biodiversity and agricultural production. Their presence goes hand in hand with human activity.
Large amounts of data ("big data") offer enormous potential for improving the accuracy of genome-wide predictions in plant breeding. Encouraged by successful results with wheat hybrids, researchers at the IPK Leibniz Institute ...
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have developed an AI that could open up a new, cost-effective approach to identifying genetic perturbation patterns in cell images—potentially enabling the development of new ...
A way to greatly enhance the efficiency of a method for correcting errors in quantum computers has been realized by theoretical physicists at RIKEN. This advance could help to develop larger, more reliable quantum computers ...
