New 2024 American Physical Society Fellow Jozef Dudek is pursuing theoretical descriptions of exotic hadrons, a yet-untallied group of short-lived subatomic cousins of the proton and neutron, those more familiar atomic building blocks.
Heterodox Academy (HxA), a non-partisan, non-profit organization committed to improving institutions of higher education by advocating principles of open inquiry, viewpoint diversity, and constructive disagreement, along with College Pulse, the leading survey research and analytics company focused on capturing the voices of today's college students, released new survey results about the state of open inquiry and campus expression across Canadian colleges and universities.
Uterine fibroids are a common condition that affects up to 80% of women in their lifetime. Nearly half of those women will experience symptoms that affect their quality of life and fertility, including severe pain and anemia. Uterine fibroids are the major reason for the removal of the uterus by hysterectomy. However, Mayo Clinic researchers recommend minimally invasive treatment alternatives to hysterectomy, in an invited clinical practice paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
A study at Mayo Clinic suggests that an hourglass-shaped stent could improve blood flow and ease severe and reoccurring chest pain in people with microvascular disease.
This study presents a novel approach utilizing the concentration gradient of thiourea dissociation products to synthesize a CdNCN-CdS composite photocatalyst with an atomic-level heterostructure (NCN-Cd-S). The strong electron affinity of CdNCN and efficient electron transfer at the interface enhance photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, achieving a record-high rate of 14.7 mmol路g鈦宦孤穐鈦宦 under visible light, surpassing other CdS-based composites.
NCCN expands guidelines to create two major resources for helping cancer care providers and other stakeholders stay current on cutting edge research on genetic/familial high-risk assessment.
Researchers investigated the population characteristics of two hybrid crucian carp strains based on one nuclear gene molecular marker, Transferrin (Tf). Interestingly, the nucleotide diversity of Tf alleles in cultured populations exceeded that of wild populations, and the network and genetic structure analyses failed to distinguish between wild and cultured populations. Additionally, AMOVA analysis indicated genetic differentiation among all six populations, the majority of the genetic variation (92.00%) was observed within populations. These findings providing an alternative perspective for germplasm evaluation of hybrid varieties and crucian carp breeding.
The research team led by Senior Researcher Hyeong-U Kim of the Semiconductor Manufacturing Research Center of the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) has achieved the world鈥檚 first successful fabrication of a 4-inch heterostructures semiconductor with using plasma technology.
Some sounds have the power to conjure premonitions of death, ghostly apparitions or creatures lurking in the dark. Why do we react to them the way we do?
Voter turnout among young people ages 18-29 was 42% (with +/- 1% margin of error) overall in the 2024 presidential election, and much higher鈥50% on aggregate鈥攊n key battleground states across the country (AZ, GA, MI, NV, NC, PA, WI), according to researchers at Tufts University's Tisch College.
El Paso dental community member Deborah Whitehill announced the first Hunt School of Dental Medicine scholarship to cover full tuition and fees for an El Paso student鈥檚 entire four years of school. The scholarship honors her late husband H.V. Whitehill, D.D.S., M.S.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today honored Tiffany Richards, Ph.D., A.P.R.N., A.N.P.-B.C., A.O.C.N.P., with the 2024 Brown Foundation Award for Excellence in Oncology Nursing.
Journalists have long used newspapers, radio, television, magazines and, more recently, the internet to inform the public. But what if there鈥檚 a richer and more compelling way to share and address real world issues? University of South Australia's Dr Ben Stubbs explains how video games are being developed in journalism as a more interactive way to engage younger audiences and tell impactful stories.
One in five Americans suffers from acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease, when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. Treatments include lifestyle changes, medications and now a minimally invasive procedure called the LINX Reflux Management System.
To build nanostructures, researchers need to probe these structures鈥 internal architecture at various states of assembly in three dimensions. This project used several methods to produce X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans that provided record-setting, 7-nanometer resolution and information on the elements in the materials. The researchers then constructed 3-D frameworks to reveal the nanostructures鈥 imperfections and interfaces.
