Flash memory stores essential data but degrades with repeated use, limiting reliability in long-term applications like cars and satellites. Inspired by biological circadian rhythms, this research introduces “recovery periods” for memory cells to…
2025
This research investigates how a gonorrhea protein is processed in E. coli using cellular signal sequences, which act like "ZIP codes" directing the protein to its proper location. By identifying effective signal sequences, the study informs…

This research develops a virtual human model and predictive algorithm to detect blast-induced traumatic brain injuries in real time. Using simulations and body-mounted sensors, the system estimates injury risk on the battlefield, helping medics and…
2025
This research develops an affordable, rapid genetic testing system to personalize antidepressant treatment. By detecting DNA mutations that affect drug metabolism, the technology helps doctors prescribe the right medication for each patient. The…

This research investigates how melanoma switches between two gene states—one fast-growing and treatable, the other slow but highly invasive and responsible for brain metastases. By identifying genes that control this transition, the study aims to…
