Tracy Devine Guzmán, an associate professor of Latin American studies at the University of Miami, received a Fulbright Scholar Award to conduct research on Indigenous land rights in Mato Grosso, Brazil, which contains part of the Amazon rainforest.
Teachers, students, and their parents are navigating sensitive subjects such as phone bans, political polarization, and debates over curriculum and teaching methods. Binghamton University experts will discuss the controversies looming over our schools in a live Q&A with media covering the issues.
Looking back at their sons’ health care journey over the past five years, Claire and Daniel Polston can’t help but note the extraordinary coincidences. Their first son, Everett, had a harrowing start to life when he was born at 23 weeks. Their second son, Nolan, had a nearly identical journey just a few years later.
Adtalem's Chamberlain University expands its Practice Ready. Specialty Focused.™ program for Bachelor of Science nursing students to include the Critical Care Nursing Course, in partnership with the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses.
La hipertensión, también conocida como presión arterial alta, es un problema común que afecta las arterias del cuerpo. Si tiene presión arterial alta, el corazón tiene que trabajar más para bombear la sangre.

Every cell in your body holds a unique genetic code within your DNA, inherited from your parents. The segments of your DNA called genes determine nearly all your body’s characteristics and functions.
جاكسونفيل، ولاية فلوريدا — ارتفاع ضغط الدم، المعروف أيضًا باسم ضغط الدم المرتفع، هو مشكلة شائعة تؤثر على شرايين الجسم. إذا كنت تعاني من ارتفاع ضغط الدم، فيجب أن يعمل القلب بجهد أكبر لضخ الدم.
Metasurfaces, ultra-thin films of nanostructures, hold immense promise for manipulating light with unprecedented control. However, their full potential hinges on overcoming the challenge of crafting these intricate patterns at large scales and high resolutions. This review explores the current nanofabrication techniques, including maskless and masked lithography, exploring their strengths and limitations. By understanding these constraints, we can pave the way for advanced nanophotonic applications powered by these light-bending marvels.
In a new study overseen by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, an international group of experts investigated vulnerabilities exposed by the 2022 infant formula shortage to develop recommendations for a resilient infant formula industry.
A $4 million grant to the Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute (MPSI) at Wayne State University aims to prevent serious emotional and behavioral problems in Detroit’s young children while promoting healthy development and reducing health disparities.
Using a polymer to make a strong yet springy thin film, scientists led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are speeding the arrival of next-generation solid-state batteries. This effort advances the development of electric vehicle power enabled by flexible, durable sheets of solid-state electrolytes.
Smoking harms almost every part of your body. But if you smoke when pregnant, the toxic chemicals in tobacco will also harm your unborn baby, with new research showing that it could lead to reduced academic outcomes at school.
For the first time, UNC School of Medicine scientists created and successfully tested a closed-loop system to measure an individual’s alpha frequencies and stimulate the brain with a low-level alternating electrical current to bring balance to alpha oscillations and alleviate depression symptoms.
Monkeypox virus (mpoxv) has re-emerged, designated on August 14 as a global emergency by the World Health Organization. Newly evolved strains of mpox viruses can efficiently spread among people. In addition to skin rashes, mpox infection can cause eye complications including inflammation of the clear tissue covering the iris and pupil called the cornea (keratitis), the tissue covering the white of the eye and the underside of the eyelid (conjunctivitis, or pink eye), and the eyelid (blepharitis).
In the agricultural and food industry, determining the chemical composition of raw materials is important for production efficiency, application, and price. Traditional laboratory testing is time-consuming, complicated, and expensive. New research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign demonstrates that near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and machine learning can provide quick, accurate, and cost-effective product analysis.
