Parents' genes - even when not directly inherited by a child - may play a role in their educational and mental health outcomes, finds a new report by UCL researchers.

University of Bonn physicist Matthias Schott awarded €1 million in DFG funding Technology is being pushed to its very limits.

Freezing sperm makes it possible to preserve genetically modified animal lines. Cryopreservation thus reduces the need to keep animals alive in animal houses.

Carnegie Mellon University students often pursue their interests and passions through research opportunities while earning a bachelor's degree.

Cells in our body produce vast amounts of RNA - but only a fraction is actually useful. How do cells know which RNA molecules to keep and which to discard?

Despite initial reticence, more and more Swiss retail banks are turning to artificial intelligence to optimize their processes and offer new services. A recent survey by Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts shows that although the use of AI is still in its infancy, the potential has been recognized, for example in the areas of data analysis and risk management.

The North Korean government engages in unsustainable and illegal wildlife trade, which includes species protected under its own laws and poses a threat to biodiversity recovery in the region, finds a groundbreaking new study by UCL researchers.

Carnegie Mellon University's research enterprise delivers progress where people live, work and learn Across disciplines and domains, Carnegie Mellon University research is tackling the world's most urgent challenges where humanity and technology meet.

It's easy to take joint mobility for granted. Without thinking, it's simple enough to turn the pages of a book or bend to stretch out a sore muscle. Designers don't have the same luxury. When building a joint, be that for a robot or wrist brace, designers seek customizability across all degrees of freedom but are often restricted by their versatility to adapt to different use contexts.

Imagine if doctors could precisely print miniature capsules capable of delivering cells needed for tissue repair exactly where they are needed inside a beating heart. A team of scientists led by Caltech has taken a significant step toward that ultimate goal, having developed a method for 3D printing polymers at specific locations deep within living animals.

Women diagnosed with breast cancer who carry particular BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic variants are offered surgery to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes as this dramatically reduces their risk of ovarian cancer. Now, Cambridge researchers have shown that this procedure - known as bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) - is associated with a substantial reduction in the risk of early death among these women, without any serious side-effects.

A majority of individuals who are deaf or have hearing loss face significant communication barriers when accessing care through the National Health Service (NHS), with nearly two-thirds of patients missing half or more of vital information shared during appointments.

A consortium involving TU Graz has developed technical methods for the sustainable extension of existing Wilhelminian (Gründerzeit) buildings using modular timber constructions.

A new technique to extract tiny cellulose strands from cow dung and turn them into manufacturing-grade cellulose, currently used to make everything from surgical masks to food packaging, has been developed by researchers from UCL and Edinburgh Napier University.

An artificial intelligence (AI) model is being trained on a set of NHS data for 57 million people in England, from which personal information has been stripped away, in a world-first pilot project run by researchers at UCL and King's College London.

Researchers from The University of Manchester have forecast there will be an increased risk of infection from fungi over the coming years, including a significant spread of some fungal pathogens across Europe, the extent of which will depend on global actions to mitigate climate change.

From biomolecules to legal aspects: the BIOSTORE project features collaborations from a range of disciplines Thinking further afield in battery research: the scientists working on the BIOSTORE projec

A new study led by researchers from our top-rated Archaeology department has revealed that 3300 years ago, tin mined in south-west Britain was a key resource for major Bronze Age civilisations in the Eastern Mediterranean thousands of kilometres away.

The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts presents the final results of its interdisciplinary study on small-scale housing.

ANU research shows not all'addictions are treated equally by the media. Less stigmatised reporting could save lives.

A portable device that detects illicit street drugs on the spot and at very low concentrations, highlighting the dangers they pose, has been developed at Bath.

Mid and older life adults are choosing to exercise with people of the same age who they live near to and see often, regardless of the quality or quantity of those relationships, according to new research.

Engineers have devised a means of transforming biomass ash byproduct into high-quality concrete, which reduces carbon emissions by over 50%.

Companies are faced with the challenge of processing ever-increasing amounts of data efficiently.
