Scientists have discovered that two parasitic wasps, Spalangia endius and Spalangia nigoraenea, can efficiently control stable and house flies in Illinois. This finding has significant implications for the state's agricultural industry and public health.
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a method to measure interior temperatures of food using magnetic particles, enabling safer and more efficient aseptic processing of solid-liquid foods. This technology has the potential to increase nutritional value, flavor, and reduce energy consumption in food packaging.
Scientists develop polymers that can emit patterns of light using microlithographic technique, opening door to plastic LEDs in displays. The new technology has potential to replace silicon-based electronics with plastics.
Researchers found glioblastoma multiforme tumors resistant to procarbazine exhibited defects in mismatch repair, leading to drug resistance. The study may lead to more effective treatment of GBM, a common and virulent brain tumor.
A mathematical model explains the scientific basis of radical heart surgery, potentially selecting suitable candidates for therapeutic removal of large heart muscle portions. The Batista procedure aims to improve cardiac function by reducing heart size and stress.
A research network will investigate how adolescent development influences juvenile law, focusing on competence assessment, risk factors for future crime, and treatment amenability. The goal is to make informed decisions regarding young offenders in the juvenile justice system.
Researchers at University of Illinois set new record for radar cross-section calculation, a measure of aircraft visibility to radar. The achievement uses advanced software and fast multipole method algorithm, reducing computation time and memory requirements.
