A new computational tool infers changes occurring at the ends of the chromosomes housing our DNA. It does so by detecting ...

Theory, computation, and simulation are foundational to modern energy research. Theoretical understanding reveals why materials and systems behave as they do, predicting performance before experiments ...

This work reviews CM-cfDNA methods applied to clinical oncology, emphasizing both machine learning (ML) techniques and mechanistic approaches. The latter integrate biological principles, enabling a ...

Researchers have discovered a new way to drive chemical reactions that could generate a wide variety of azetidines -- four-membered nitrogen heterocycles that have desirable pharmaceutical properties.

The new model developed by Flatiron Institute researchers proposes that biological neurons have more control over their surroundings than previously thought, something that could be replicated in the ...

Neuroscientists solve the "cocktail party problem," proving that neural amplification of vocal features like pitch and ...

MIT neuroscientists have figured out how the brain is able to focus on a single voice among a cacophony of many voices, shedding light on a longstanding neuroscientific phenomenon known as the ...

People's decisions are known to be influenced by past experiences, including the outcomes of earlier choices. For over a century, psychologists have been trying to shed light on the processes ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Researchers from MIT and the University of Michigan have discovered a new way to drive chemical reactions that could generate a wide variety of compounds with desirable pharmaceutical ...
