Machine Learning Makes Drug Repurposing For Psychiatric Disorders More Effective
Artificial intelligence can increase the effectiveness of drug repositioning or repurposing research, according to a study published in Translational Psychiatry. In the study, which was supported by São Paulo Research Foundation – FAPESP, Brazilian researchers correlated information on genes associated with psychiatric and neurological disorders and drugs approved for use in treating other diseases that […]
Laser Inversion Enables Multi-Materials 3D Printing
Additive manufacturing–or 3D printing–uses digital manufacturing processes to fabricate components that are light, strong, and require no special tooling to produce. Over the past decade, the field has experienced staggering growth, at a rate of more than 20% per year, printing pieces that range from aircraft components and car parts to medical and dental implants […]
COVID-19 Lockdown Reduced Dangerous Air Pollutants In Five Indian Cities By Up To 54 Percent
A team of 10 interdisciplinary researchers from the University of Surrey’s renowned Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE), including PhD students and post-doctoral researchers, have united to develop a rapid assessment of the impact COVID-19 has had on air quality. Figures from the World Health Organisation show the ongoing pandemic has caused more than […]
Here’s How “Fenris Engine” Will Drastically Reduce the Cost of Space Travel
Aerospace companies are striving to reduce the cost of space travel, as much as they could. In fact, the very origin of Elon Musk’s SpaceX is based on his intention to make affordable rockets. Even though his vision is slowly getting clear, a group of engineers thinks they can reduce the cost even further. However, […]
10 Technologically Savvy Superheroes
We have grown out of those times when we would deliberately try to get bitten by a spider in the hopes of becoming a spiderman. Needless to say, we have become more aware of science and technology. Hence making it difficult to digest something that is remotely radical. Frankly speaking, we have heard enough of […]
Is the “Fifth State of Matter” Observed in The International Space Station A Step Closer to our search for Dark Energy?
In June 2020, the universe’s coolest laboratory confirmed that they have observed the fifth state of matter in space. Scientists on board the International Space Station created the fifth state of matter for the very first time in space. Although it sounds easy, being able to create something believed to be elusive in space is […]
10 Science-Fiction Novels For Passing Time During Coronavirus And Lockdown
Needless to say, books offer a more immersive experience to its readers, than the movies. That is the reason why people sit and read 30,000 words rather than watching a 1-hour movie. This is applicable to the science-fiction genre as well. As a matter of fact, the chances are that your favorite sci-fi movie is […]
