UNC-Chapel Hill scientists sequenced the genes expressed in individual single cells from human GI tracts to discover new cell-type characteristics and gain insights into important cell functions such as nutrient absorption and immune defence. 

Megatrends Digital transformation is, without question, one of the most significant revolutionary trends in the history of mankind, comparable to the invention of the first wheel, Gutenberg’s printing press, or the Internet. We are now able to systematically digitize countless information and data that until relatively recently, needed to be stored and locked up in […]

The implementation of robotics in various aspects of life is becoming increasingly widespread, but nevertheless leads to conflicting opinions. Positive factors and arguments based on innovation, efficiency, precision and cost reduction have not yet succeeded in breaking down negative connotations and aspects such as the destruction of jobs, the investment required, difficulties in implementation and […]

Technology helps discern subtle patterns in imaging 

Researchers at MIT have shown how the efficiency of scintillators used in X-ray imaging can be improved by at least tenfold, and perhaps even a hundredfold, by changing the material’s surface to create certain nanoscale configurations, such as arrays of wave-like ridges.
