Mashup Score: 0UIC Logo - 5 month(s) ago
Researchers have identified a new way to screen genes that cause several different types of cancers to grow, identifying particularly promising targets for precision oncology in oral and esophageal squamous cancers. “There’s a tremendous amount of data in The Cancer Genome Atlas, and the field has developed life-prolonging and lifesaving precision medicines. But only a minority of these data tell us how cancers grow and whether it’s a drug target,” explained lead author Dr. Ameen Salahudeen, an assistant

Mashup Score: 5Using quantum physics to secure wireless devices | UIC Today - 1 year(s) ago
From access cards and key fobs to Bluetooth speakers, the security of communication between wireless devices is critical to maintaining privacy and preventing theft. Unfortunately, these tools are not foolproof and information on how to hack, clone and bypass these systems is becoming easier to find. That’s why computer engineers at the University of Illinois Chicago have been investigating…

Mashup Score: 0Stackable artificial leaf uses less power than lightbulb to capture 100 times more carbon than other systems | UIC Today - 2 year(s) ago
Illustration of a carbon capture process designed by UIC College of Engineering scientists. Carbon dioxide from air or flue gas is absorbed by a dry organic solution to form bicarbonate ions, which migrate across a membrane and are dissolved in a liquid solution to concentrated CO2. Carbon atoms are shown in red, oxygen atoms are shown in blue and hydrogen atoms are shown in white. (Credit:…
