Southwest Airlines is making some big changes. They're planning to cut about 1, 750 corporate jobs, which is around 15% of their total corporate workforce. This move is part of a larger plan to make the company more efficient and save money. The company expects to save a significant amount of money
Imagine trying to understand how a group of people work together in a primary care setting. That's exactly what a recent study did, but with a twist. Instead of just looking at who does what, they dug deeper into the relationships and interactions between team members. The study focused on
First, let's talk about nanotubes. These are tiny tubes made of special materials like platinum, nickel, and rhodium. Scientists have found a way to make these nanotubes even better by creating tiny holes, or cavities, in them. These cavities cause something called structural defects, which actually
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a tricky condition that affects the central nervous system, often leading to serious neurological problems. It's not just about the brain and nerves; MS also takes a toll on bones. People with MS often have weaker bones and a higher chance of fractures. But why does this h
Covalent-organic frameworks, or COFs, are like the superheroes of the materials world. These materials are designed with specific molecular structures to perform amazing tasks, like detecting tiny amounts of ammonia (NH3) at room temperature. Imagine two COFs, β-keto-AnCOF and imine-AnCOF, which hav
Imagine tiny robots that can twist and turn, cleaning up water pollution. These aren't your average robots; they're soft, flexible, and have special powers. They can move in different ways and break down nasty pollutants. These robots are made with a clever design. They have two main parts.
Imagine tiny particles that can split water into hydrogen and oxygen just by absorbing light. That's what scientists are trying to do with something called photocatalysts. These are special materials that use sunlight to drive chemical reactions. One such material is a mix of Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) a
Hip fractures are a serious issue, especially among older adults. A recent study in Beijing, China, looked into how the amount of sunshine affects the number of emergency visits for hip fractures. The study found that both short and long durations of sunshine can increase the risk of these fractures
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a sneaky condition that doesn't just cause joint pain. It also puts people at a higher risk of breaking bones. This was discovered by a big study that looked at data from 29 different groups of people from all over the world. The study found that both men and women with
Making drugs that are packed into tiny lipid bubbles, called liposomes, is a big deal in medicine. Usually, this process needs a lot of heat, which costs a lot of energy and time. Plus, it can mess up the drugs and the bubbles. But, what if there's a way to do it without all that heat? Scie
