The American College of Surgeons has released free, publicly available educational materials and a checklist to help people recognize potential warning signs of colorectal cancer and prepare for primary care visits.

What links the Leidenfrost effect and sustainable energy storage systems? In a study recently published in Small, a team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal, the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), Swansea University, and the University of Southern Queensland has explored how this unusual physics effect can help create more stable, longer-lasting batteries and emerge as a practical alternative to the lithium-ion (Li-ion) technology.

The first mapping of data centers in the area of the Metropolitan City of Milan provides some clear data: most of those in Lombardy are located here. And Lombardy hosts almost half the data centres present on Italian soil. These and other data were presented this morning by the ProdAction project, an initiative by CRAFT – the Centre of Competence for Anti-fragile Territories – at the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU) of the Politecnico di Milano. The presentation took place during an international conference at the CRAFT centre, entitled "Datascapes. Exploring the Spatiality of Digital Infrastructures." The project coordinator, Professor Eugenio Morello, plus researcher Cristiana Mattioli and assistant Alice Franchina, outlined the initial results of their research for mapping data centres in the area of the Metropolitan City of Milan. The research involved facilities that are either already active, under construction or being planned, and included their location, electrical power and land use, with reference to the current situation and the coming years.

Long-term ecosystem warming changes not only plants but the fungi in the soil below, according to a new study including researchers from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. 

As a child, Brandon was diagnosed with phenylketonuria, also known as PKU, a rare genetic disease that prevents the body from appropriately metabolizing phenylalanine, an amino acid that is the building block of protein.

In 1956, a small group of mathematicians and scientists gathered for the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence where they coined the term “artificial intelligence” and launched a field now reshaping science, technology, and daily life. Dartmouth will mark the 70th anniversary with a yearlong series of events designed to reflect that legacy and help shape what comes next.

Although fewer than 50 cases of this syndrome are known in Spain, rare diseases affect a total of nearly three million people.

Researchers from the biomedical engineering department at Texas A&M University — Drs. Shreya Raghavan, Alex Walsh, Daniel Alge and their respective labs — have teamed up to create models and imaging techniques to better understand and treat colorectal liver metastases.
