In February 2024, a missile hit in the Red Sea damaged some of these cables, showing just how fragile our global i
Industrial wastewater often contains harmful pollutants like p-chlorophenol (4-CP) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). Scientists are looking for ways to clean up this mess and create energy at the same time. They've been experimenting with a type of plant called Leersia hexandra and a clever system c
At the Sentry 2025 golf tournament, the final round is not just about the players; it's also about the weather.

Ever wondered how the way you strike the ground while running affects your foot, shank, and rearfoot coordination? A study set out to find just that. They looked at two groups of runners, those who hit the ground with their heels (rearfoot strikers or RFS) and those who hit with their forefoot or mi
Graph neural networks could benefit greatly from specialized hardware. Memristors, especially those made from robust and epitaxial films, can make these networks more efficient and better at handling graph-structured data. These memristors are made from materials like gadolinium-doped hafnium oxide
Imagine you're missing a tooth and the bone around that area needs help to grow back. Would you rather have a membrane made of gelatin and polylactic acid (GT/PLA) or one called Guidor®? This experiment involved 32 people who needed bone regrowth after losing a tooth. They were split into two groups
