Scientists at Columbia University have developed the first diagnostic platform that can simultaneously screen for all known human pathogenic bacteria as well as markers for virulence and antibiotic resistance.
University Research | Columbia UniversityAccording to a new study, the brain plays back and prioritizes high-reward events for later retrieval and filters out the neutral, inconsequential events, retaining only memories that are useful to future decisions.
University Research | Columbia Universitya Columbia University-led team has developed a new method to finely tune adjacent layers of graphene—lacy, honeycomb-like sheets of carbon atoms—to induce superconductivity.
University Research | Columbia UniversityCornell and Columbia engineers have developed a new plan to avert the L Train shutdown in New York City, a perhaps a new model for how major infrastructure projects can be evaluated.
Community Impact | Cornell University | Columbia UniversityResearchers at Columbia University say genetic variants linked to Alzheimer’s disease and heavy smoking are less frequent in people with longer lifespans, suggesting that natural selection is weeding out these unfavorable variants in both populations.
University Research | Columbia UniversityResearchers have developed a microneedle skin patch that delivers nanoparticles full of fat-shrinking drugs to potentially treat obesity and diabetes.
University Research | The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill | Columbia UniversityNeuroscientists, using rats, have demonstrated the brain's flexibility by training neurons that normally process input from the eyes to control a computer-generated tone.
University Research | University of California, Berkeley | Columbia UniversityScientists have developed a new blood test that improves on existing options for diagnosing a Zika infection by extending the window of accurate detection from weeks to months after the onset of infection.
University Research | Columbia UniversityResearchers have developed an audio-based interface that can easily be integrated into existing video games, enabling people who are visually impaired to play with the same speed and control as sighted players, with full 3D graphics and complex, challenging racetracks.
University Research | Columbia UniversityColumbia University and Nimbus Therapeutics have successfully determined the 3D structure of human ATP-citrate lyase, which plays a key role in cancer cell proliferation and other cellular processes.
