Researchers redesign atomic interface to balance competing requirements, enabling aggressive dielectric scaling and preserving electrical performance in atomically thin transistors. This breakthrough advances wafer-scale manufacturing and paves the way for faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient devices.
Researchers analyzed genomic data from over 72,000 Han Taiwanese participants to identify genomic signatures of ongoing natural selection and uncover disease-associated genetic variants. The study reveals that large biobanks can function not only as tools for precision medicine but also as platforms for examining modern human evolution.
A Taiwan-led study shows that Mandarin-speaking learners' sounds are deeply shaped by their prior language experience, offering insights into human language learning. The findings highlight how language experience influences both speech perception and production, and demonstrate a selective connection between hearing and speaking.
Researchers at NYCU found that early brain activity contributes to the maturation of communication circuits, regulating Foxp2 expression. The study identifies a previously underappreciated circuit linking the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and striatum, which is active before vocalizations.
Researchers discovered that FOXJ3 gene mutations disrupt brain layer formation, leading to drug-resistant epilepsy. The study reveals a critical link between abnormal brain development and epilepsy, identifying FOXJ3 as a key genetic and molecular cause.
