Highly Cited Researchers rank in the top 1% by citations for their field and publication year.
The word “shoddy” first came to use in 1832, referring to an early form of recycling in which old wool was shredded and spun with new wool to form a fabric. Nearly two centuries later, textile recycling still follows a similar process. But today’s textiles are blends of different materials, from synthetics to natural materials. This gap is where Brian Iezzi, founder of Fibarcode, sees opportunity.
Teletrix, a company specializing in radiation training tools, has transitioned from a research and development license to a commercial license for its augmented reality, or AR, platform that simulates ionizing radiation. This advanced platform, known as VIZRAD AR, was developed using technologies licensed from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and allows users to interact with virtual radiological environments in real time.
Researchers from the Earth System Science Center (ESSC) at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) have partnered with atmospheric scientists from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) to make groundbreaking discoveries about gamma-ray emissions from thunderstorms. Once considered rare and short-lived, these high-energy bursts are now revealed to be far more dynamic, extensive and frequent than previously thought, particularly in tropical regions, according to the team’s findings, featured in the international science journal Nature.
Penn Medicine has partnered with Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drug Company through its innovative Cost Plus Marketplace in a strategic alliance that will allow Penn Medicine to secure the top 100 most frequently dispensed generic drugs—such as antibiotics, cancer treatments, blood thinners, and asthma medications—from the company for the health system’s vast retail pharmacy network, which fills over 1.5 million prescriptions annually across 16 locations.
Intrauterine devices, more commonly known as IUDs, are great birth control option for patients of many ages and gender identities.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends IUDs as one of the first line options for contraception in teens and young adults. IUDs are also often recommended for postmenopausal women needing protection from uterine cancer.
Smart Data Solutions (SDS), a leader in healthcare process automation and interoperability, announces the opening of its new Global Headquarters in Minnesota. This milestone underscores SDS's commitment to advancing healthcare automation and delivering AI-powered solutions to payers, TPAs, providers, and partners.
A McMaster researcher has uncovered evidence of intestinal parasites in a 500-year-old latrine from Bruges, Belgium, and while the finding may induce queasiness in some, it is expected to provide important scientific evidence on how infectious diseases once spread through travel and trade.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the U.K.’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), and the private fusion company Tokamak Energy Ltd. (TE) today announced a plan to jointly sponsor a $52 million upgrade to the ST40 experimental fusion facility to advance fusion science and technology needed to deliver a future fusion pilot plant. Fusion powers the sun and stars, and, if harnessed on Earth, could provide an abundant, safe, and carbon-emissions-free energy source. This collaboration was selected through the 2025 fiscal year Office of Science open funding opportunity.
Informal Caregivers Report Reduced Well-Being, May Not Bounce Back Years Later
A pivotal study unveils a novel approach to combating gray mold, a devastating pathogen for grapevines. By leveraging the power of CRISPR/Cas9 technology, scientists are working to develop genetically resistant grape varieties, offering a potential game-changer for the global grape industry. This research not only deepens our understanding of how Botrytis cinerea invades grapevines but also provides hope for future crops, reducing both crop loss and environmental impacts by creating more resilient and sustainable vines.
When building a one-of-a-kind particle collider filled with groundbreaking technologies, it's extremely helpful to have a place to test things out. Thankfully that's the case for the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, where physicists are using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to test key accelerator strategies for a new state-of-the-art Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).
Midlife-Onset Alcohol Dependence: Causes and Consequences
What’s the best way to precisely manipulate a material’s properties to the desired state? It may be straining the material’s atomic arrangement, according to a team led by researchers at Penn State. The team discovered that “atomic spray painting” of potassium niobate, a material used in advanced electronics, could tune the resulting thin films with exquisite control. The finding, published in Advanced Materials, could drive environmentally friendly advancements in consumer electronics, medical devices and quantum computing, the researchers said.
This partnership allows both institutions to combine capabilities across universities to bring a level of team-based research to El Paso that would not be possible otherwise.
Prof. Dr. Wilert Puriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University, led a team of staff from Property Management of Chulalongkorn University (PMCU) and Five for All Foundation in opening Siam Square Walking Street for All. Siam Square was transformed into a walking street for all for the first time. The project kickstarted with 2 days of performances by disabled performers who showcased their various talents, engaging with the public through activities such as music, sports, dance, and fashion shows. The event also featured products and services by people with disabilities all over Siam Square.
