Scientists are always on the hunt for better ways to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This time, they've designed special Ru-B-Cr parts within RuO₂ nanofibers to make the Ru sites more active. This overcomes the hurdles of RuO₂ catalysts, which usually aren't very good at producing hydrogen and
Scientists have been trialing a new signal-processing image analysis technology in hospitals to check out suspicious colored moles that were sent for biopsies. This technology, called Moletest, was tested on an iPadPro11 by using four different versions of its analysis software. The main goal was to
In China, the rush to cities has created a massive group of people without local residence, totaling 276 million by 2020. That's over 20% of the country's population! This group plays a key role in boosting urban economies and optimizing resources. However, their health is at risk due to job hazards
Imagine searching for something in a super crowded place. Over time, you get better at spotting it because you remember where it usually is. But what if the clues aren't always right? That's exactly what researchers looked into. They found that the more reliable the clues (like, how often they point
Ever wondered how the sports environment in college affects the athletic progress of students? It turns out, the way students perceive their sports environment has a significant impact. This perception influences their physical activity and their confidence in learning sports skills. Both of these f
Wetlands and deltas are crucial for our planet, especially as sea levels rise. One way they cope is by trapping tiny bits of mud, called suspended solids, to build up their surfaces. Scientists often use special cameras on planes to map these solids. However, the recipes they use to make sense of th
In a tragic turn of events, a press conference to announce the reopening of Haiti's largest public hospital ended in tragedy. Armed men fired upon the gathering, killing at least two people—a journalist and a police officer—and injuring several others. The attack was claimed by a powerful gang coali
Last summer, Jennifer Abel left Jonesworks, a company she helped start. She says she was bullied by the founder, Stephanie Jones. But Jones says Abel was fired for trying to poach clients. This isn't just a case of someone quitting their job – it’s a messy dispute with lawsuits and text messages bei
Ever wondered how our minds estimate our memory strength? Researchers took a closer look at this with a study on anchoring information. They had two main ideas: the "glass half full/empty" view, where anchors change how sure we feel about our memory, and the "scale shift" view, where anchors mess up
Atopic dermatitis (AD) patients often face lipid metabolism issues, leading to the long-term use of lipid-lowering drugs. However, the influence of circulating lipids and these medications on AD risk remains unclear. To shed light on this, researchers utilized genome-wide association studies (GWAS)
