The Cell Phone: A History The cell phone is one of the most revolutionary inventions of the modern era. Since the first commercially available cell phone was released in 1983, the device has changed the way we communicate and stay connected. From the first brick-sized mobile phones to today's sleek, pocket-sized versions, the cell phone has gone through numerous iterations over the past three decades. In this article, we take a look back at the history of the cell phone and the various milestones that have defined its evolution.
A double-walled Al-based MOF, named as ZJU-520(Al), with large microporous specific surface area of 2235 m2/g, was synthesized. It has excellent trace benzene adsorption (5.98 mmol/g) and can effectively separate trace benzene from mixed vapor flow of benzene and cyclohexane.
MLD is characterized by sulfatide accumulation causing neural tissue damage. It leads to demyelination, motor neuron dysfunction, and cognitive decline. Research on MLD using patient-specific iPSCs shows promise in understanding disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
From microbes in the human gut to symbiotic algae in coral reefs, research in recent decades has increasingly revealed the pivotal roles that microorganisms (or microbial species) play in shaping the biology of host organisms and of broader ecosystems. For example, some endosymbionts—microbes that live within the cells of a host organism—are known to manipulate the physiology of their hosts to promote their own persistence from generation to generation.
Dear students, It’s time again for the annual Statathon! Each year, the New England Statistical Society hosts the Statathon, a competition to tackle real-world statistical data science problems. We are looking for teams (up to 4 members) to develop innovative methods that address a problem proposed by our sponsoring organization. This year’s sponsor is Traveler’s Insurance Company. Finalists will present their work at this year’s New England Statistical Symposium (tentatively May 21st 2024) and top finalists will receive cash prizes up to $300! This is an excellent opportunity to show off your statistical/data science chops, participate in one of New England’s great statistics/data science conferences, and win some cash! For more information, please visit: https://statathon.nestat.org/. Important Dates: Registration Deadline for Team Registration: April 26, 2024 Submission Deadline: May 8, 2024 Presentation for Team Finalists: May 21, 2024 (tentative) Please consider attending the conference as well! https://symposium.nestat.org/
As a planetary scientist and astrobiologist who studies ice grains from Enceladus, I’m interested in whether there is life on this or other icy moons. I also want to understand how scientists like me could detect it.
The beginning of life is shrouded in mystery. While the intricate dynamics of mitosis is well-studied in the so-called somatic cells – the cells that have a specialized function, like skin and muscle cells – they remain elusive in the first cells of our bodies, the embryonic cells.
