The Korean research team has successfully developed a highly efficient microchannel reactor which reduces the required catalyst amount to 30 percent for electrofuel production, yet offers a capacity 30 times greater than current reactors.
Researchers at the University of South Australia and Edith Cowan University in WA have explored the origins of the iconic Nutbush dance and how it became an Australian cultural phenomenon.
A study from the University of Adelaide has discovered molecular pathways regulated by a gene traditionally used to control wheat-flowering behaviour could be altered to achieve greater yields.
Imagine um futuro em que os cuidados com a saúde sejam adaptados especificamente para você, até mesmo para as moléculas no interior das suas células. Tratamentos direcionados e estratégias preventivas são personalizados para o seu genoma. Seu mapa médico pessoal descreve variantes genéticas hereditárias, fornece orientação sobre riscos ambientais e oferece estratégias para manter a saúde do seu coração e prevenir o câncer, tornando-o tão único quanto o seu DNA.
Public interest in weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic is surging, but national data on dispensing patterns in the United States are surprisingly scarce.

For the first time, nuclear physicists made precision measurements of the short-lived radioactive molecule, radium monofluoride (RaF). The researchers combined ion-trapping and specialized laser systems to measure the fine details of the quantum structure of RaF. This allowed them to study the rotational energy levels of RaF and determine its laser-cooling scheme.
Even slight cognitive changes can affect an older person’s decision to stop driving, according to a new study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The findings suggest that routine cognitive testing — in particular, the kind of screening designed to pick up the earliest, most subtle decline — could help older adults and their physicians make decisions about driving that maximizes safety while preserving independence as long as possible.
What factors lead older adults to stop driving? A new study followed older adults who had no memory or thinking problems to examine this question. The study is published in the May 22, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
