Vision researchers have disproved a long-standing theory of how the human vision system processes images, using computational models and human experiments. The findings could have implications for the understanding of human vision and diagnosis of vision anomalies.
Read moreA study of the genetic make-up of zebrafish has provided brand new insights into the cause of congenital hearing disorders in humans.
Read moreA new imaging technique that makes it possible to match motor proteins with the cargo they carry within a cell is upending a standard view of how cellular traffic reaches the correct destination. The research focuses on neurons and sheds light on some neurodegenerative diseases.
Read moreWhether it's chocolate cake or pasta sauce, the sensation of sweetness plays a major role in the human diet and the perception of other flavors. While a lot is known about the individual proteins that signal ''sweet,'' not much is known about how the proteins work together as a receptor to accomplish this feat.
Read moreAutonomous drone cameras have been trialled for several years to detect signs of life in disaster zones. Now, in a world first study, researchers have taken this a step further.
Read moreResearchers identify gene causing intellectual disability syndrome that is common in countries where consanguineous marriages are prevalent.
Read moreAI reveals domain-geometry-driven differences in ferroelectric switching, important for next-generation computing; approach could be applied to electron microscopy, agriculture, astronomy and other systems mapped through hyperspectral imaging
Read moreHalf of the Earth's land surface not covered with ice remains relatively wild — but many of these 'low human-impact' areas are broken into small, isolated pieces, threatening their future.
Read moreResearchers have developed a faster, cheaper way to coat liquid medication, an invention that could improve how drugs are delivered in the body.
Read moreA research team has created a third approach to engineering proteins that uses deep learning to distill the fundamental features of proteins directly from their amino acid sequence without the need for additional information.
