Rigoberto Advincula, a polymer researcher at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a Governor’s Chair Professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has received the American Filtration and Separations Society’s Frank Tiller Award at FILTCON26 in Pittsburgh. The honor recognizes his lifetime leadership and scientific impact in fluid-particle separation, citing advances in new materials, 3D-printed membranes, and smart separation surfaces. A highly decorated fellow of multiple scientific societies, Advincula has authored 513 publications and holds 15 issued patents, with additional patents pending.
A new AI model developed by UC San Diego researchers could make it possible to predict treatment response based only on a tumor's genetics.
A research paper by scientists from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications designed a multimodal controller termed the tactile, kinesthetic, and electromyography (EMG) bionic gripping controller (TKE-BGC).
The new research paper, published on May. 13 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, developed a bioinspired control framework that dramatically improves prosthetic hand stability during such dynamic tasks.
A research paper by scientists from Capital Medical University proposed a diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-based DenseNet to identify SVCI from subcortical ischemic vascular disease (SIVD) and to profile multidomain cognitive risks.
The new research paper, published on May. 13 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, developed a deep‑learning framework that uses routine diffusion tensor imaging to both identify SVCI and profile an individual’s domain‑specific cognitive weaknesses.
Drinking tomato-soy juice loaded with compounds shown in animal studies to promote health lowered pro-inflammatory proteins in healthy adults with obesity after four weeks, a new study found. The findings hint at the juice’s promise as a functional food that may help curb the unchecked inflammation that characterizes a range of chronic conditions, researchers say.
