Some species of Pseudo-nitzschia diatoms produce a potent neurotoxin called domoic acid, which can cause seizures and death in mammals. Previous blooms of these diatoms in 1991 and 1998 sickened

Engineering remains one of the most sex-segregated occupations in the U.S., with women representing about 15 percent of the overall engineering workforce and as little as 8 percent in specialized

Fuel cells, which use chemical reactions to produce energy, and electrolyzers, which convert energy into hydrogen or other gases, use electrocatalysts to promote chemical reactions. Electrocatalysts that can activate such

“One difficulty with human pluripotent stem cells is that you can’t use them directly,” said Xiaojun Lian, assistant professor of biomechanical engineering, biology and a member of the Huck Institutes

In their paper published in the journal Nature Photonics they combine this graphene-CMOS device with quantum dots to create an array of photodetectors, producing a high resolution image sensor. When

While scientists have yet to fully elucidate how HDL-C — the good cholesterol — protects against heart disease, one of its chief functions is thought to be mediating the removal

Their study of fecal samples from 105 patients treated with immune checkpoint blockade indicates that certain characteristics of patients’ microbiomes correlate with slower disease progression while other qualities are associated

Roughly 10 percent of patients on these drugs for atrial fibrillation have severe kidney disease, and the research, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, found that

The pacemaker designed by the Rice lab of electrical and computer engineering professor Aydin Babakhani harvests energy wirelessly from radio frequency radiation transmitted by an external battery pack. In the
