Temperature combined with ocean currents have a significant influence on the distribution of marine life. These current patterns are shaped by the constant change in the distribution of land and sea on the Earth's surface. In a new study, SNSB scientist Thomas A. Neubauer correlated over 3 million observations of modern benthic mollusks from the shelf areas of the world's oceans with the development of today’s ocean currents during the recent Earth history. The research team recently published its findings in the journal Scientific Reports.
Neuromorphic computing, which mimics architecture of brain, could support growing energy demands of AI
Immersive media, including augmented and virtual realities, are taking over the world by storm, underscoring the need to progressively improve user experience through more realism. A relatively underexplored area in this field is how the user perceives the speaker’s orientation. Accordingly, research led by Sophia University showed that the loudness of the speaker’s voice, followed by spectral cues, helped the listener judge the speaker’s orientation. Their findings answer longstanding questions in auditory perception.
The review highlights how disrupting the cell cycle, a process often hijacked by cancer cells for unchecked growth offers a promising strategy for cancer therapy. It focuses on drugs that precisely target key cell cycle regulators, several of which are already in clinical use. By showcasing the latest breakthroughs and outlining future research directions, the article provides a comprehensive look at how targeting cell cycle dysregulation is shaping the future of cancer care.
The development of renewable polymers for use in healthcare has shown excellent results, especially in biomedicine, such as in controlled drug release. Using materials like cellulose, chitosan, and starch, scientists have developed advanced ways of applying these polymers to the human body. However, turning these discoveries into commercially available products is still a significant challenge.
