The shutdown of the Colonial gas pipeline in May 2021 had a disastrous impact on many sectors of the U.S. economy, particularly those dependent on the country’s transportation infrastructure. The incident was a warning that the failure of one critical infrastructure has a ripple effect on others, leading to sometimes serious human and economic consequences.
Headaches, fatigue and ‘brain fog’ are some of the most common signs of this debilitating post-COVID condition. It’s one of the more mysterious aspects of COVID-19—a condition called long COVID. While most people recover from the virus within two to four weeks, others can struggle for months afterward with lingering, often debilitating symptoms.

• Video-based telemedicine is used to facilitate care across all stages of chronic kidney disease. • Video-based telemedicine has evolved in recent years to be less reliant on specialized equipment and has allowed patients to receive kidney care in a location of their choice. • Further work is needed on approaches to sustainable integration and minimizing barriers to access.
Climate change and warmer conditions have altered snow-driven extremes and previous studies predict less and slower snowmelt in the northern United States and Canada. However, mixed-phase precipitation—shifting between snow and rain—is increasing, especially in higher elevations, making it more challenging to predict future snowmelt, a dominant driver of severe flooding. Researchers at the University of New Hampshire took a closer look at previous studies, and because geographical areas respond differently to climate change, they found future snowmelt incidences could vary greatly by the late 21st century. Snowmelt could decrease over the continental U.S. and southern Canada but increase in Alaska and northern Canada resulting in larger flooding vulnerabilities and possibly causing major societal and economic consequences including costly infrastructure failures.
A predictive model of a polarized group, similar to the current U.S. Senate, demonstrates that when an outside threat – like war or a pandemic – fails to unite the group, the divide may be irreversible through democratic means.
When the United States entered World War II in 1941, Florida was a mostly rural and agricultural state, a relatively unpopulated place compared to the rest of the country. By the time the war ended, federal spending for military bases and an influx of service members had begun a transformation that continues to this day.
UC San Diego researchers identify new strategy to improve efficacy of immunotherapy on resistant liver cancers.
Deciding which medication to prescribe for a new epilepsy diagnosis is an issue without much guidance. The second Standard And New Anti-epileptic Drugs study (SANAD II) compared medications for both focal and generalized epilepsies.

Esta imagen etérea capturada desde Chile por el telescopio de Gemini Sur, un programa de NOIRLab de NSF y Observatorio AURA, parece tan delicada como el ala de una mariposa, pero en realidad se trata de una estructura cósmica conocida como la Nebulosa Infrarroja del Camaleón, y se ubica cerca del centro de la gigantesca nube oscura Camaleón I, una de las regiones de formación estelar más cercanas en nuestra Vía Láctea.
Rapid advances in biomarker research improve outcomes for people with cancer. National Comprehensive Cancer Network Patient Advocacy Summit looks at policy and practice solutions to increase equitable access for all.
This ethereal image, captured from Chile by the international Gemini Observatory, a Program of NSF's NOIRLab, looks as delicate as a butterfly’s wing. It is, however, a structure known as the Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula, which is located near the center of the mammoth Chamaeleon I dark cloud, one of the nearest star-forming regions in our Milky Way.
Penguins may not require passports to travel, but they do need protection, according to an international research team who analyzed 131 scientific papers on penguin movement at sea.
Damage to a part of the brain that regulates hyperactivity can contribute to both memory problems and seizures in the most common form of epilepsy, according to research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The study, published recently in the Journal of Neuroscience, may lead to earlier diagnosis of epilepsy and possibly new ways to treat epilepsy and other disorders that share symptoms, like Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury and autism spectrum disorder.

Researchers inspired by natural cells are developing their own materials made of interconnected microscopic shapes. But synthetic materials can’t be reshaped as many ways as biological materials without breaking apart and being rebuilt from scratch. This study introduces a new way to manipulate a material’s arrangement of cells at the microscale using a simple liquid, opening new possibilities for innovative materials.
