Color-changing sensor detects signs of eye damage in tears
University of Illinois researchers developed a new point-of-care rapid-sensing device that can detect a key marker of eye injury in minutes. The device is...
How polymers relax after stressful processing?
The polymers that make up engineered materials require time to relax after processing. A new examination by Illinois scientists has discovered that entangled, long-chain...
New tissue-imaging technology could enable real-time diagnostics, map cancer progression
Illinois researchers have developed a new microscope system that holds the potential of capturing living tissue in real time and in molecular detail. The most fascinating...
3-D printed sugar scaffolds offer sweet solution for tissue engineering
Engineers at the University of Illinois devised a 3D printer that can print detailed structures that commercial 3-D printers can’t. The printer can efficiently produce...
Elastic microspheres expand understanding of embryonic development and cancer cells
Scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a new technique that uses tiny elastic balls filled with fluorescent nanoparticles aims to expand the understanding...
New polymer manufacturing process saves 10 orders of magnitude of energy
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new polymer manufacturing process that could reduce the cost, time and energy needed, compared with...
Infants track others’ mental states, study
Infants cannot explain their perceptions of external events, and some psychologists think that very young children cannot grasp other people’s mental states until they...
Optimistic Latinos have healthier hearts, study
According to a new study by the University of Illinois, Latinos who are the most optimistic are more likely to have healthy hearts.
The study...
Decision-making is shaped by individual differences in the functional brain connectome
According to a new study by the University of Illinois, individual differences are associated with variation in specific brain networks. The research suggests that...
![This illustration shows the percentage of marine animals that went extinct at the end of the Permian era by latitude, from the model (black line) and from the fossil record (blue dots). A greater percentage of marine animals survived in the tropics than at the poles. The color of the water shows the temperature change, with red being most severe warming and yellow less warming. At the top is the supercontinent Pangaea, with massive volcanic eruptions emitting carbon dioxide. The images below the line represent some of the 96 percent of marine species that died during the event.
