First 3D Platform for Simulating Zebrafish Behavior May Replace Animals in Some Research

Every year, approximately 20 million animals are used in scientific research. Increasingly these animals are zebrafish, which are quickly eclipsing rodents and primates as a favored species in biomedical research because of their genetic similarity to humans and their versatility. However, concerns voiced by policymakers, citizens, and scientific authorities about the number of animals used Read more about First 3D Platform for Simulating Zebrafish Behavior May Replace Animals in Some Research[…]

Pioneer Technique to Grow Monolayer Tungsten Disulfide for Next-Generation Transistors, Wearable Electronics, and Biomedical Devices

Researchers at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering have pioneered a method for growing an atomic scale electronic material at the highest quality ever reported. In a paper published in Applied Physics Letters, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Davood Shahrjerdi and doctoral student Abdullah Alharbi detail a technique for synthesizing large sheets of Read more about Pioneer Technique to Grow Monolayer Tungsten Disulfide for Next-Generation Transistors, Wearable Electronics, and Biomedical Devices[…]
