The pro:NE project will provide training, e-conferences, peer mentoring and PhD studentships for staff and students of colour, tackling inequalities in higher education. The initiative aims to create a legacy within the region that nurtures and develops academic pathways and communities for students and staff of colour.
A team of NTU Singapore scientists has developed a predictive computer programme using wearable technology data to detect depression risk. The programme, Ycogni model, achieves an accuracy of 80% in detecting individuals at high or low risk of depression.
A team of researchers has successfully developed a material-based reservoir computing device using single-walled carbon nanotubes and porphyrin-polyoxometalate composites. This innovation enables AI robots to classify grasped objects based on tactile signals, demonstrating the potential for energy-saving AI systems and situational awar...
Researchers developed an auto-switchable phosphazene-based catalyst to create well-defined diblock terpolymers in a single step, overcoming the limitations of traditional two-step polymerizations. This innovative approach offers vast potential for producing diverse polymers for various industrial applications.
A new 16-question self-report form, F-SIM16, assesses someone's level of social inclusion and can lead to more targeted and personalized care. The measure has been recognized for its strong theoretical foundation and input from people with lived experience of mental ill-health.
Scientists successfully synthesized diazuliamethyrin, a core-modified hexaphyrin with antiaromatic properties. The compound's 24pi non- or antiaromatic character was confirmed through NMR, absorption, and MCD spectra analyses.
Researchers at Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have developed new p-type near-infrared transparent conducting films with ultra-high conductivity. The films exhibit high near-infrared transmittance and low room-temperature sheet resistance.
Researchers identify significant gaps in knowledge about climate impacts on tropical cyclones, including the dynamics of storm formation and track changes. To address these limitations, they recommend extending historical datasets and improving understanding of natural variability to inform adaptive strategies.
A large Norwegian cohort study found a weak association between maternal consumption of sweetened carbonated beverages during pregnancy and increased ADHD symptoms in offspring at 8 years of age. The study suggests that even small reductions in SCB intake may be important for reducing children's ADHD symptoms at the population level.
Researchers investigated how pressure affects electron-phonon coupling in FeSe, revealing that in-plane biaxial strain can increase the coupling due to changes in Se position and lattice constants. This study provides a strategy for experimentalists to improve superconducting properties.
