A new bottom gate design takes advantage of the intrinsic properties of SiC. For more than 20 years, silicon carbide – SiC – has been viewed as a promising material for electronics that must function in extreme environments. Yet despite years of research, that promise has rarely translated into practical devices. Researchers at Kyoto University […]
Researchers Solve Two Major Problems Holding Back SiC Electronics
A new bottom gate design takes advantage of the intrinsic properties of SiC. For more than 20 years, silicon carbide – SiC – has been viewed as a promising material for electronics that must function in extreme environments. Yet despite years of research, that promise has rarely translated into practical devices. Researchers at Kyoto University […]
Physicists Hunted a Mysterious Particle – and Found Two Unexpected Structures Instead
A first attempt to produce a mysterious strangeonium state using a photon beam yielded important and unexpected results. Physicists have spent decades trying to organize the growing collection of subatomic particles, yet some of the most unusual discoveries still resist simple classification. At the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, researchers have […]
World’s Largest Trial of Robotic Knee Surgery Delivers a Surprising Result
Robot-assisted knee replacement surgery is more precise than surgery performed without robotic assistance, but it does not currently improve patient outcomes. A robotic arm can help surgeons position a knee replacement more precisely, but that extra accuracy does not necessarily mean patients recover better. Results from RACER-Knee, the world’s largest clinical trial of its kind, […]

Scientists Develop an Implant That Could Help the Body Clock Recover From Jet Lag Faster
A peer-reviewed study highlights how encapsulated leptin-producing cells can accelerate circadian realignment in preclinical models. Jet lag and shift work can throw the body’s internal clock off course for days, disturbing sleep, altering metabolism, and contributing to other health effects. Researchers at Rice University, supported by the Rice Biotech Launch Pad, and Northwestern University have […]
Adults Taking More Vitamin D Scored 13% Higher on a Cognitive Test
Higher vitamin D supplement intake was associated with better cognitive scores in adults with mild cognitive impairment and sleep disturbances. More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s dementia, and that number is projected to approach 13 million by 2050. Against that backdrop, research from Emory University suggests that higher vitamin D supplement intake […]
A 20-Year Study Finds Preschool Can Influence Success for Years
A child’s preschool classroom may leave traces that are still visible years after finger painting, story time, and learning to count are over. A major research project involving Miami-Dade County students found that children who attended public school pre-K went on to perform better academically than those who received family-based childcare. The advantage was not […]
