Violent blows or jolts to the head can cause traumatic brain injury (TBI), and there are currently about five million people in the U.S. living with chronic neurodegeneration and related impairments due to TBI.
Giulia Galli has been awarded the prestigious Hirschfelder Prize in Theoretical Chemistry. She is being recognized for her groundbreaking work in developing computational methods to predict and design material properties.
The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) announced that they have experimentally verified that KSTAR's superconducting magnets maintain maximum performance even after 16 years of continuous operation.
Mark Awad, MD, PhD, has been appointed Chief of the Thoracic Oncology Service within the Solid Tumor Oncology Division, Department of Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK).
Girls exposed to certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be more likely to start puberty early, according to new research published in Endocrinology, the flagship basic science journal of the Endocrine Society. EDCs mimic, block or interfere with hormones in the body's endocrine system.
Historically, Lake Okeechobee was thought to be impaired only by phosphorus, focusing efforts on reducing agricultural runoff. However, new comprehensive sampling across the Lake Okeechobee Waterway and its connected estuaries shows that toxic algal blooms also are driven by rising nitrogen levels from human waste and urban runoff. Increased nitrogen, worsened by extreme rainfall, significantly fuels bloom severity. Findings underscore the need for integrated nutrient management and improved wastewater treatment to protect the lake and its estuaries.
A new facet engineering approach achieves controlled nanowire dimensions with high crystalline quality, enabling on-substrate vertical emitting lasing from ordered InGaAs/InP multi-quantum well nanowire arrays grown on InP substrates.
Be enchanted with millions of lights and hundreds of lanterns -- on select dates from November 22 through January 5 Tickets for Holiday Lights can be purchased here: BronxZoo.com/HolidayLights. New this year: interactive glowing walls, illuminated trees, and shimmering flowers
Non-invasive estimation of particle size distribution has been a long-term desire in pharmaceutical drying process, a critical step in the production of medication and chemical compounds. To address this challenge, MIT scientists invented a method to accelerate a current particle size probe by 60 times, achieving the fastest non-invasive size monitoring.
An international team led by Professor Gong Xiao from the National University of Singapore has developed a groundbreaking non-volatile photonic-electronic memory chip, published in Light: Science & Applications.
In recent years, the convergence of deep learning and biophotonics has ushered in a new era of bioimaging. This article reviews emerging approaches where certain measurement metrics are intentionally compromised to develop cost-effective, high-speed or more compact bioimaging tools.
A recent study has uncovered how the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum disrupts plant defenses through its type III effector RipAF1. The research shows that RipAF1 modifies a critical plant protein, FBN1, via ADP-ribosylation, which alters the plant’s hormonal signaling balance, suppressing jasmonic acid (JA) and enhancing salicylic acid (SA) pathways.
A cutting-edge online food safety toolbox has been crafted to bolster the proficiency of Food Business Operators (FBO) and regulatory bodies. This tool streamlines the implementation of the Codex Alimentarius (Codex) General Principles of Food Hygiene (GPFH), employing a structured learning strategy that encompasses mapping, chunking, and dynamic inquiry. Its goal is to unify food safety protocols, from farm to table.
During a stroke, Black Americans arrive later to emergency departments — which are less likely to be notified of a patient’s condition ahead of time, a national study shows. Researchers say quality improvements for EMS should be a target for stroke system redesigns to achieve greater health equity.
A new study finds there are two simple editing changes companies can make to their annual reports that improve investor confidence.
Scientists have identified a crucial gene, CsMIKC1,that controls the number of flowering sites in Cannabis sativa, a finding that could significantly enhance both medicinal and grain yields. The study reveals how CsMIKC1 drives inflorescence development, offering new pathways to boost productivity in Cannabis cultivation.
New mental health parity rules from the federal government aim to address issues with access and insurance coverage, but multiple experts from the University of Michigan say more effort is needed.
The Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group has selected UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography to receive a four-year, $10 million grant funded by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation to establish the Allen Discovery Center for Neurobiology in Changing Environments. The center will take a multidisciplinary approach to investigating how climate change may impact the nervous systems and behavior of marine animals.
Multi-storey timber buildings are extremely popular. To prevent them from being damaged by strong winds or earthquakes, sufficient bracing must be provided in the supporting structure. Computer calculations provide the basis for this. To check these in practice and improve the computer models, Empa researchers use a two-ton “shaker”.
Traditional optical anti-counterfeiting (AC) is achieved by static printed images, which makes them susceptible to lower levels of security and easier replication. Here in, we fabricated a multifunctional anti-counterfeiting (AC) device based on fluorescent electrophoretic particles, which can achieve dynamic AC display by switching the electric field and UV light. This work demonstrated that fluorescent electrophoretic display (EPD) has a fast response, dynamically switch image and bright luminescence, providing potential in multifunctional AC applications.
