From the lab to the factory floor: Northwestern researchers developed a new water- and oil-resistant material that could replace toxic PFAS in food packaging. Derived from graphene oxide, the material is safe, environmentally friendly and affordable. spr.ly/60184BNbe

PFAS could be replaced with safe graphene oxide solution

New non-toxic material is water- and oil-resistant, sustainable and affordable

Why we study shrimp on treadmills: The case for curiosity-driven research

“If we cut or limit funding for curiosity-driven research, we risk shutting down the pipeline of future innovation,” writes Carole LaBonne of Northwestern.

wrote a paper: it lets you *train* in 1.58b! could use 97% less energy, 90% less weight memory. leads to a new model format which can store a 175B model in ~20mb. also, no backprop!

Check out my student Bethany's outstanding new paper in BioRXiv! Using elegant yeast molecular genetics and cell biology, she has discovered that nuclear pore dependent, RNA polymerase II-independent histone methylation is epigenetically heritable. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Mitotically heritable, RNA polymerase II-independent H3K4 dimethylation stimulates INO1 transcrip...

For some inducible genes, the rate and molecular mechanism of transcriptional activation depends on the prior experiences of the cell. This phenomenon, called epigenetic transcriptional memory ,...

Hundreds of genes interact with the yeast nuclear pore complex (NPC), localizing at the nuclear periphery and clustering with co-regulated genes. Dynamic tracking of peripheral genes shows that they...

Cloud Computing Is Not the Energy Hog That Had Been Feared (Published 2020)

The digital services churned out by the world’s computer centers are multiplying, but their energy use is not, thanks to cloud computing, a new study says.
