U of A research surveyed pilots to find out why they experienced inflight loss of control, a leading cause of crashes.

New study suggests that sleep changes could serve as a non-invasive marker of inflammation in people with inflammatory bowel disease and potentially predict flare-ups

Rice is showing to have many benefits in brewing beer, including making nonalcoholic beer taste more like its full-strength counterpart, according to recently published research out of the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture in collaboration with the Research Institute for Raw Materials and Beverage Analysis, officially known as Versuchs- und Lehranstalt für Brauerei — or VLB — in Berlin, Germany. The research also shows that some rice varieties have lower gelatinization temperatures, which opens up its use to more craft brewers, and that rice breeding programs are developing rice with qualities that contrast with factors that aid in brewing efficiency and sustainability.

In a commentary published today (June 26, 2025) in the journal Cell, Arc researchers introduce the independent nonprofit’s first “Virtual Cell Challenge,” a public competition with a grand prize worth $100,000 for the machine learning model that best predicts how cells will respond to genetic perturbations. Arc is introducing the competition to catalyze progress at the interface of artificial intelligence and biology, particularly by accelerating the creation of high quality datasets and sparking a conversation about rigorous standards for assessing how well AI models simulate cellular behavior.
