AI Model Speeds Scientific Discovery in Soil Carbon Research
ITHACA, N.Y. — Cornell University researchers have introduced BINN (Biogeochemistry-Informed Neural Network), an AI model designed to speed up and improve how scientists simulate Earth-system...
Nuclear Escape Accelerates as Stress Builds Inside the Atomic Nucleus
Under prolonged stretch, epithelial tissues can’t simply “hold on”—they remodel. A new Nature Physics study from IBEC reveals how cells respond to mechanical stress lasting...
Imaging Nanoscale Polar Textures Reveals Quantum Paraelectric Behavior in SrTiO3
Nanoscale polar order may be the missing link in the long-studied “quantum paraelectric” behavior of strontium titanate (SrTiO₃), according to a new Nature study. The...
Atezolizumab After Single or Multiple Fractions of Stereotactic Radiotherapy in TNBC
Advanced triple-negative breast cancer may benefit from an unexpected combination: stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) delivered either in a single fraction or multiple fractions, followed...
