A new study shows that it is possible to use mechanical force to deliberately alter chemical reactions and increase chemical selectivity - a grand challenge of the field.
Scientists on the hunt for an unconventional kind of superconductor have produced the most compelling evidence to date that they've found one. In a pair of papers published in Science and Nature Communications, researchers at the University of Maryland's Quantum Materials Center and colleagues have shown that uranium ditelluride displays many of the hallmarks of a topological superconductor--a material that may unlock new ways to build quantum computers and other futuristic devices.
A new national study published in Public Health Nutrition on July 15 found that Americans experiencing food insufficiency were three times as likely to lack mental health support during the COVID-19 pandemic than those not experiencing food insufficiency.
A national study published in the Journal of Pediatrics found that Emergency Department (ED) visits by youth for self-harm were nearly 40 percent higher in rural areas compared to urban settings. Strikingly, ED visits by youth for self-inflicted firearm injuries were three times more common in rural areas.
The RegenMed Development Organization releases the results of a national survey of regenerative medicine biomanufacturing knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for successful employment in the regenerative medicine field.
In this study using a simulated cohort, TVUS endometrial thickness screening missed over four times more cases of endometrial cancer among Black women versus White women owing to the greater prevalence of fibroids and non-endometrioid histology type that occurs among Black women.
In a new study, published in the journal Nature, researchers looked at samples from rocks spanning the last three billion years and found evidence of a dramatic change in how the carbon cycle functioned about 400 million years ago, when plants started to colonise land.
Harvard researchers have shown that jumping spiders are able to tell the difference between animate objects and inanimate objects -- an ability previously known only in vertebrates, including humans.
A "tantalizing" principle borrowed from nature turns harmful methane into useful methanol at room temperature. With their latest study, U.S. and Belgian scientists have brought this process an important step closer to realization.
Using anonymized medical records from a national registry, UC San Diego researchers confirm earlier findings that statins may substantially minimize adverse outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
MILFORD, Mass. -- This past spring was a revenge tour of sorts for Kelley Reichert.
The NEA pledges to bring critical race theory to a public school near you.
Thomas Gordon Smith led a resurgence of teaching and practice of traditional forms.
A new study suggests otherwise.
The Delta variant does not justify reimposing Covid-19 restrictions in the United States.
(American Federation for Aging Research) Andrea Gilmore-Bykovskyi, PhD, RN (UW Center for Health Disparities Research and UW School of Nursing) is recognized with the 2021 Terrie Fox Wetle Rising Star Award in Health Services and Aging Research, from the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR)
(Deep Longevity Ltd) James Peyer to present new research in the biology of aging at the world's largest aging research for drug discovery conference.
(Imperial College London) The world's first 3D-printed steel structure, a 'living laboratory' bridge developed by Imperial and The Alan Turing Institute, has been unveiled by a robot in Amsterdam.
(Saarland University) Ralf Jung, a doctoral student of Saarland University and now postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems in Saarbrücken, has made a significant contribution to the safety of the 'Rust' programming language. The new and increasingly popular programming language is widely used from small startups to the world's largest technology corporations to develop operating systems, web browsers and other safety-critical applications.
(H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute) Zeynep Eroglu, MD, assistant member of the Cutaneous Oncology Department at Moffitt Cancer Center, received the 2021 Cancer Clinical Investigator Team Leadership Award from the National Cancer Institute.
(PLOS) During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a group of geneticists who study the cellular process of meiosis held a virtual discussion of how to boost inclusion of underrepresented groups in their community. Now, Katherine Billmyre of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, María Angélica Bravo Núñez of Harvard University, Francesca Cole of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and colleagues outline the resulting action plan in an opinion piece for the open-access journal PLOS Genetics.
(University of North Carolina Health Care) The NIH funded academic institutions to design programs for professional development through "Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training" (BEST), which includes career panels, skill-building workshops, job-search workshops, site visits, and internships. Because doctoral training is lengthy and requires focused attention on research, some researchers feared students participating in additional training activities might diminish their research productivity or delay graduation.
