Scientists from the American Cancer Society (ACS) are presenting important research studies at this year’s annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago, May 31-June 4, 2024.
A recent study has marked a significant advancement in gut health research. Scientists have successfully integrated multiple flexible electrodes into the Human Microbial Crosstalk (HuMiX) gut-on-a-chip system. This innovation allows for the real-time detection of barrier formation with unprecedented spatial resolution, offering a new avenue for studying the effects of probiotics, dietary compounds, and drugs on gut barrier integrity.
ETRI researchers have successfully developed a robotic finger capable of precisely detecting omnidirectional pressure. The development of intelligent robotic hand technology, which can adjust its grip strength according to the stiffness of objects, is expected to bring about innovation in ultra-precise object recognition.
In a review of 574 peer-reviewed published studies on how digital screen time may affect sleep in children and adults, an international panel of sleep experts selected by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) has drawn up a consensus statement about digital screen use and sleep.
New research in the journal Risk Analysis has confirmed that longer freight trains bring with them a higher risk of derailment.
Habitat change, fragmentation, and reduction caused by human activity are significant threats to the natural environment, leading to a decline in biodiversity and increased species extinction. Among the most vulnerable are social animals, whose intricate social structures and cooperative breeding behaviors are closely linked to their habitats. A new study led by Prof. Lee Koren, from the Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences at Bar-Ilan University, explores the profound effects of habitat disturbance on the Arabian babbler, a social bird species known for its cooperative breeding.
New method will provide accurate counts and breeding success of the threatened species in the light of climate change

The same molecules that create chocolate's aroma might carry some unwanted health effects if there are too many around. According to research published in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, while many of the compounds appeared in chocolate in low enough concentrations to be safe, higher amounts were found in some baked sweet treats.
Advances in electrochromic coatings may bring us closer to environmentally friendly ways to keep inside spaces cool. Researchers in ACS Energy Letters report demonstrating a new electrochromic film design based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that quickly and reliably switch from transparent to glare-diminishing green to thermal-insulating red.
In the early days of conflict when tension and fear are heightened, new research from the Department of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis shows women politicians are less likely to engage with the public and, when they do, are more likely to take on more nurturing roles.
