Observing biological processes such as disease progression and gene expression require elaborate probes and sensors. In biomedical research, there is interest in making a multifunctional and modular scaffold that can target ...
Implantable electronic devices can stabilize abnormal electrical activity between neurons in the nervous system to restore sensory-motor function. The Gardner Lab has designed, 3D-printed, and implanted nano-scale nerve ...
Safe and efficient eating relies on the precise coordination of the respiratory and swallowing systems. It is necessary for the airway to be briefly closed during the swallow itself in order to prevent food/liquid from ...

The hippocampus aids in remembering and linking a variety of experiences in order to form general representations of the world. Previous research shows that anterior hippocampus supports generalized memory, while posterior ...
Mating is vital for sexually reproducing species, yet the ideal mating strategy for males and females can differ. The ensuing conflict between the sexes – namely sexual conflict – results in a decrease in population level ...
Electrolysis, also known as water splitting, consists of two half-reactions occurring within an electrolytic cell that make possible the extraction of storable and non-pollutive hydrogen gas. Anion-exchange membrane (AEM) ...
Governmental and corporate spying are no longer a surprising facet of everyday life in the digital age. In this paper, I expand upon the implications at stake in debates on autonomy, privacy, and anonymity, and I arrive ...
The medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) is prevalent in self-referential and social cognition tasks, often found to be split between the ventral MPFC and dorsal MPFC with the former engaging in self-reference and the latter ...
While parenting is often rewarding, there are some aspects of parenthood that are stressful. One potential source of stress for parents is child behavior, especially for parents of children with low executive function (EF), ...
Speech comprehension requires processing sound information with a high degree of temporal precision.
As a standard metric for assessing temporal acuity, gap detection allows us to understand the neural circuitry involved ...

In a complex and dynamic field, such as computer science, it is of interest to understand what software resources are available and the usage and purpose of these resources. We demonstrate the feasibility of automatically ...
As of 2020, student loan debt in the United States has grown to approximately $1.6 trillion. Private companies, non-profits, and governmental agencies have created different programs in an attempt to reduce these debt ...
In the 1950s, psychedelic drugs were the subject of extensive psychiatric research in the United States. By 1960, they had been found to be non-addictive, to have remarkable safety profiles, and to potentially be able to ...

For over decades, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been in combat and dominating the remote fighting tactics that militaries around the world use. Despite being
effective and reliable, the question that will be analyzed ...
A city built on drugs: Medellin, Colombia. For most that live in the city, especially those in more impoverished neighborhoods, the illicit drug trade is a large part of daily life and affects citizens both politically and ...
