As part of the race to combat global insecticide resistance, new research shows that the same CBD people use to treat a variety of ailments is also extremely effective at killing mosquito larvae.
The American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) proudly announces Ms. Candy Dolan as the 2024 Outstanding Service Award recipient for her dedicated service to her patients, technologists, residents and fellows, and AANEM.
A recent study has uncovered a significant link between chronic exposure to air pollution and an increased risk of various arrhythmias, representing a pivotal advance in environmental health research.
Scientists have achieved a monumental breakthrough in the realm of potassium-based batteries by developing a dendrite-free metallic-potassium anode. This innovation stabilizes the anode, which is essential for enhancing battery safety and performance, and could pave the way for more efficient and reliable energy storage solutions.
In a pivotal advancement for environmental conservation, researchers have pioneered piezoelectric techniques to efficiently degrade organic pollutants in water. This green approach converts mechanical stress into catalytic action, offering a sustainable and efficient method for water purification without relying on external energy sources.
A recent study conducted by the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health at Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, reveals a strong link between exposure to styrene and ethylbenzene, common air pollutants, and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Groundwater serves as a vital resource, yet dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) contaminants pose a significant threat to its quality. New research delves into how the 3D microstructures of porous media influence DNAPL migration and the efficacy of surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR), offering promising solutions for subsurface clean-up.
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have shown that a type of qubit whose architecture is more amenable to mass production can perform comparably to qubits currently dominating the field.
A team of international scientists alarmed by the loss of biodiversity across the world due to climate change has proposed a new approach to managing vulnerable landscapes, focusing on sites that are least impacted by changing weather.
Distinguished materials scientist Takeshi Egami has spent his career revealing the complex atomic structure of metallic glass and other liquids. He studies these materials at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
We’re living much longer than our ancestors, but is that always a good thing?
With many people living well into our late 70s or beyond, more of us are also spending a greater portion of our lives—sometimes a decade or more—saddled with physical and mental health conditions that can make it challenging to accomplish the tasks of daily life.
Northwestern University has been awarded $32.4 million over five years from the Hevolution Foundation to study proteostasis — the processes by which cells maintain protein health for good overall health and to prevent diseases of protein misfolding. A key goal is to improve the health people experience as they age, particularly in their final years.
Hevolution Foundation and Dolby Family Ventures led Vandria’s Series A closing, bringing the capital to CHF 28.3. With the money, the 2021 EFPL spin-out aims to advance its first in class mitophagy inducer VNA-318 that targets several neurodegenerative indications into clinical development.
What if a drug could help you live a longer, healthier life? Scientists at the University of Connecticut are working on it. In a new study in Cell Metabolism, researchers described how to target specific cells to extend the lifespan and improve the health of mice late in life.
Deep inside what we perceive as solid matter, the landscape is anything but stationary. The interior of the building blocks of the atom’s nucleus — particles called hadrons that most of us would recognize as protons and neutrons — are made up of a seething mixture of interacting quarks and gluons, known collectively as partons. The HadStruc collaboration has now come together to map out these partons and disentangle how they interact to form hadrons. Their latest findings were recently published in the Journal of High Energy Physics.
For many decades, the coca plant – the main ingredient in cocaine – has been grown almost exclusively in South America. But a new study shows that nearly half of northern Central America appears to be highly suitable for cultivating this lucrative cash crop.
Three transportation researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have been elevated to senior member grade of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or IEEE. Group leader Ross Wang and R&D staff member Adian Cook, both in Applied Research for Mobility Systems, received the honor along with Majbah Uddin, R&D staff member in Transportation Analytics and Decision Sciences.
Wistar Institute scientists have successfully isolated and cloned fully human antibodies that can block specific Type-I interferon molecules in vitro; their discovery has an array of potential clinical & research applications, enabling scientists with a new way to investigate the role of specific Type-I interferons in a variety of diseases.
