AI-designed Serotonin Sensor may help scientists study sleep and mental health
NIH BRAIN Initiative scientists used machine learning to redesign a bacterial ‘Venus flytrap’ protein that can monitor brain serotonin levels in real time. Serotonin is a neurochemical that plays a critical role…
Tiny Quantum Computer solves real optimisation problem
Quantum computers have already managed to surpass ordinary computers in solving certain tasks – unfortunately, totally useless ones. The next milestone is to get them to do useful things. Researchers at Chalmers…
Researchers engineer a plant-based sensor to monitor arsenic levels in soil
Scientists from MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore have engineered a novel type of plant nanobionic optical sensor that can detect and monitor, in real time, levels of the highly toxic heavy metal…
Discovery suggests new promise for nonsilicon computer transistors
MIT researchers have found that an alloy material called InGaAs could be suitable for high-performance computer transistors. If operated at high-frequencies, InGaAs transistors could one day rival silicon. For decades, Silicon has…
