First hypothesized in 1933, dark matter is believed to make up a little more than a quarter of all the matter in the universe. It cannot be seen, but its presence is inferred from the gravitational affect it has on the smaller quantity of visible matter. A promising candidate for the...
Glen M. Chew’s research has identified a way to “release the brakes” and reverse defects in viral-specific immune cells that keep them from killing HIV-infected cells. Chew received the Honolulu Chapter’s 2016 Koenig Award in Medicine.
“Our findings will give new directions to vaccines and therapies that will potentially reverse these...
Expansion of the Universe may be accelerating, but so is our understanding, thanks to R. Brent Tully, ARCS Foundation Honolulu Chapter’s 2016 Scientist of the Year.
