The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) announced that it has developed a method for synthesizing polymers based on ion-electron mixed conductors through collaborative research with Dr. Jang Ji-soo of KIST's Center for Electronic Materials Research and Professor Mingjiang Zhong of Yale University in the United States.
Moderate alcohol use does not reduce cardiometabolic disease risk among veterans of European, African, or Hispanic ancestry, a new study suggests. The findings add to growing evidence that traditional research methods applied to drinking levels and certain disease outcomes have created illusory and misleading results. Heavy drinking is known to be linked to coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Traditional observational studies have, however, associated moderate drinking with the lowest risk and abstinence with a moderate risk (the U-curve or J-curve effect). In recent years, the U-curve has been increasingly attributed to confounding errors鈥攚hen study results are distorted by other factors. In this case, the abstinence category is implicated since it establishes a false equivalence between study participants with widely differing risk factors (lifelong non-drinkers, those who stopped drinking for health or other alcohol-related problems, and those who falsely reporte
Among young adults who frequently use cannabis, drinking alcohol is linked to intensified cannabis cravings in men and reduced cannabis cravings in women, a novel study suggests. The findings potentially illuminate mechanisms driving the combined use of the two substances and could inform sex-specific approaches to preventing or addressing the resulting harms. Young adults commonly use alcohol and cannabis together (i.e., co-use), and people who use both substances experience more negative consequences鈥攊ncluding worse outcomes for alcohol use disorder treatment鈥攖han those who use one or the other. Co-use may be partially driven 鈥渃ross-substance-induced鈥� craving, in which the repeated co-use of two substances prompts one to become a trigger for the other. Research on this effect involving alcohol and cannabis鈥攑reviously limited to laboratory testing and remote monitoring鈥攈as hinted at sex differences in these effects. For the study in Alcohol: Clinical Experimental Research, investigato
It鈥檚 a long way from the Donbas region of Ukraine to Idaho, but Ukrainian officials recently made the trip to learn about collecting evidence after a nuclear attack.
UC Irvine & UC Merced develops first-of-its-kind database of California鈥檚 obesity-related legislation to advance the evidence base for public health law and inform future policymaking so that impactful and inclusive solutions can be prioritized.
Pilot intervention looks at ways to bridge gaps in survivorship care, empowering young Latino men to manage distress and reclaim meaningful life goals after cancer treatment.
Black men on buses and trains 鈥� whether as passengers or transit workers 鈥� face hostile encounters that threaten their sense of safety and well-being, according to a new study by a Keough School of Global Affairs sociologist at the University of Notre Dame. By reinforcing racist tropes that they are dangerous or invisible, these encounters can also erode Black men鈥檚 sense of dignity and self-worth.
The Gulf Research Program (GRP) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has announced The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) has been awarded a $600,000 grant to join the Gulf Scholars Program (GPS). The initiative is part of a five-year, $12.7 million pilot program aimed at preparing undergraduate students to address environmental, health, energy and infrastructure challenges in the Gulf of Mexico.
Alcohol use was the most common predictor of escalating cannabis vaping among youth and young adults, independent of demographic factors, according to research by UTHealth Houston published this month in the journal Social Science & Medicine.
The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing has established a Center for Equity in Child and Youth Health and Wellbeing.
Michigan State University chemist Weiwei Xie knows a thing or two about working under pressure. Leveraging extreme forces similar to those found deep within our planet, her lab is pioneering the discovery of novel quantum materials with exciting electronic and magnetic properties.
In this insightful interview, Dr. Nitin Agarwal, director of the Collaboratorium at the University of Arkansas Little Rock, discusses the evolving landscape of misinformation on social media. With years of research under his belt, Dr. Agarwal highlights how digital platforms, once seen as forces for positive change, have become breeding grounds for disinformation and cognitive threats.
Recovery Legal Care, a UChicago Medicine program designed to help survivors of violent crime, received funding from the NIH to study how free civil legal aid affects patients' long-term health and safety.
Researchers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams made a high-precision mass measurement of aluminum-22, reaching the 鈥減roton dripline鈥� of the nuclear chart. The project found that aluminum-22 formed a proton halo, where the last proton added is only loosely bound to the nucleus. This measurement helps scientists determine how tightly bound the atomic nuclei are as they get closer to the dripline.
The latest addition to the computational arsenal of Jefferson Lab is an extraordinary machine with the admittedly ordinary name of 鈥�24s.鈥� The 24s cluster at Jefferson Lab will work to unlock the mysteries of the nucleus of the atom. It was funded by the Nuclear and Particle Physics LQCD Computing Initiative of DOE鈥檚 Office of Nuclear Physics.
Wayne State University's Center for Emerging and Infectious Diseases (CEID) is launching its participation in World AMR Awareness Week with an urgent message: the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance requires immediate community action, so it is critical to educate, advocate, and act now.
As part of an effort to overcome the long-term energy-storage challenge, University of Wisconsin鈥揗adison engineers have invented a water-soluble chemical additive that improves the performance of a type of electrochemical storage called a bromide aqueous flow battery.
