The strategy group will draw from California’s research and higher education communities to recommend a new, publicly accessible data source to predict future wildfire losses. This effort will support California’s goals of building safer communities and expanding access to insurance coverage. “We can’t keep our Department and Californians in the dark ages when it comes to the use of technology and climate science.
Rutgers received a $3.2 million dollar grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the impact of micronanoplastics on the digestive system.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected not only individual lives but also the world and global systems, both natural and human-made. Besides millions of deaths and environmental challenges, the rapid spread of the infection and its very high socioeconomic impact have affected healthcare, economic status and wealth, and mental health across the globe. To better appreciate the pandemic's influence, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches are needed. In this paper, together with world-leading scientists from different backgrounds we share collectively our views about the pandemic's footprint and discuss challenges that face the international community.
A set of knee exoskeletons, built with commercially available knee braces and drone motors at the University of Michigan, has been shown to help counteract fatigue in lifting and carrying tasks. They helped users maintain better lifting posture even when tired, a key factor in defending against on-the-job injuries, the researchers say.
Ultra-thin layers of silk deposited on graphene in perfect alignment represent a key advance for the control needed in microelectronics and advanced neural network development.
A study by Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers has shown that military veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), who participated in a program caring for horses, experienced an improved mental outlook and easing of symptoms. Some of the most widely used psychotherapy interventions for PTSD ... have shown that about one-third of participants drop out prior to the completion of treatment.
Lois Curfman McInnes, a senior computational scientist at Argonne, has been named a 2024 DOE Distinguished Scientist Fellow for her contributions to software and high performance computing leadership.
Having a robust emergency savings fund could help people weather financial shocks, such as job loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, finds a new study from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis.
Research from the University of Michigan suggests that one day a phone app could be able to detect the development of hepatic encephalopathy in patients just by listening to them speak.
UC San Diego Health ranks among the top academic medical centers for quality in Vizient’s 2024 Bernard A. Birnbaum Quality Leadership Award.
Eliminating taxes on tips — an idea supported by both major party 2024 presidential candidates — could benefit some service workers but the overall impact may not be that dramatic, says a Virginia Tech expert.

Between and around the billions of neurons in the human brain is an interlinked net of proteins and sugars, which can regulate memory, learning, and behavior. A new tool developed by University of Utah Health researchers has uncovered detailed, dynamic patterns in this network's structure.
Two new papers by an international team of researchers demonstrate that evaluating microRNAs in blood can be used not only to diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) but also to predict the conversion from MCI to dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
A recent study has uncovered the pivotal role of the enzyme CsNADP-ME2 (NADP-dependent malic enzyme, NADP-ME) in cucumbers, controlling the delicate balance between carbon and amino acid metabolism within the fruit. This intricate metabolic process directly impacts fruit development, yield, and nutritional quality, highlighting CsNADP-ME2 as a promising target for enhancing crop performance and food quality through metabolic engineering.
