Small live music venue operators across regional Australia face personal and financial strain as they work to keep their doors open and sustain thriving music cultures in their communities.
New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations.
New study demonstrates how high-affinity B cells "bank" their best traits instead of rolling the dice and risking deleterious mutations, with implications for better vaccine design.
The global race toward carbon neutrality has gained momentum, yet the gap between promises and execution remains stark. A groundbreaking study assessing 197 countries finds that while 151 nations have pledged carbon neutrality, only 72 have implemented comprehensive policy frameworks. At the current pace, global renewable energy capacity will only reach 2.7 times its 2022 level by 2030鈥攆alling short of below the tripling target. This shortfall underscores the urgent need for stronger international cooperation, increased investment, and accelerated technology diffusion to bridge the implementation gap.
Anxiety is a common issue affecting youth. With more than 40% of children affected by chronic medical conditions and the resulting psychological impacts, many families struggle to find the most effective treatment to manage their child鈥檚 mental health concerns.
As a new assistant professor in UdeM's School of Psychoeducation, she wants to make her research findings accessible and, as she puts it, 鈥渂e helpful to others."
Pharmaceutical chemicals entering waterways can have long-term consequences for aquatic, human and environmental health. Researcher Joseph Aladekoyi is studying the impact of pharmaceutical drugs entering freshwater ecosystems.
New data from the Center for Political Communication (CPC) at the University of Delaware shows many Americans have little trust in either Elon Musk or the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Most research focuses on helping individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and promoting abstinence, neglecting their support systems. New research uncovers the essence of the role of family caregivers of individuals with AUD. They often feel isolated and distressed due to a lack of support and resources. This emotional strain can lead to guilt and maladaptive coping strategies. Despite challenges, caregivers remain committed but often struggle with limited knowledge and rely on trial and error in their caregiving.
Today, leaders from the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) will meet with their congressional delegations and call for their support of $67 million in funding for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Organ Transplantation Program in FY 26.
Researchers reporting in ACS Sensors have created a wearable patch for plants that quickly senses stress and relays the information to a grower. The electrochemical sensor attaches directly to live plant leaves and monitors hydrogen peroxide, a key distress signal.
A pioneering study investigating the brain activity of dogs during scent detection has unveiled crucial insights into their remarkable olfactory capabilities. Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have developed an optical sensor capable of remote sensing dogs鈥 brain activity in three key regions鈥 the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, and amygdala鈥 that play a critical role in how dogs distinguish between different smells.
Understanding photogenerated carrier transport in 2D perovskites, especially surface states, is challenging with conventional time-resolved techniques. Scientists at KAUST utilized scanning ultrafast electron microscopy (SUEM) with groundbreaking surface sensitivity to disclose carrier diffusion rates of ~30 cm虏/s for n=1, 180 cm虏/s for n=2, and 470 cm虏/s for n=3, which are notably higher than bulk. This highlights the SUEM鈥檚 potential for advancing the understanding of carrier dynamics. Density Functional Theory (DFT) confirms broader carrier transmission channels at the surface, offering key insights for optimizing 2D perovskite optoelectronic devices.
Electronic cigarettes use may pose lower cardiovascular risks in people living with HIV compared to tobacco cigarette use, new UCLA-led research shows. The study, published in JAHA, uses a novel laboratory model to examine the early stages of atherogenesis鈥攖he buildup of fats and cholesterol in the arteries.
The American Dental Hygienists鈥 Association (ADHA庐) issued a statement today calling on all dental hygienists to uphold the integrity of the profession and prioritize public safety by adhering to the ADHA Code of Ethics, coinciding with National Ethics Awareness Month in March.
Dr. Han's team at KERI develops nano-based 'high-energy lightweight wire' technology.
Through collaborative research with KIMS and Konkuk University, the performance of carbon nanotube wires was verified.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Verne have demonstrated a novel pathway for creating high-density hydrogen through a research program funded by Department of Energy鈥檚 ARPA-E.
