Ever wondered how we can turn carbon dioxide (CO2) into something useful, like fuel? This is where copper (Cu) comes in. As a unique element in the periodic table, Cu can convert CO2 into valuable products such as ethylene (C2H4) and ethanol (C2H5OH). But Cu isn't perfect—it has low activity and poo
These days, with the explosion of data and the growth of the internet of things, we need devices that can sense and process information in many ways at once. Taking a cue from how our human senses work, scientists have created a clever system called an optoelectronic-memristor-based reservoir comput
Imagine living with motor neuron disease (MND), where moving around becomes a challenge. For many, video games might seem like a dream that's suddenly out of reach. But these games can be more than just fun – they can be a lifeline for social connection and breaking the monotony of being homebound.
Multimorbidity, or having multiple health issues at once, is a big challenge for healthcare systems worldwide. In the Netherlands, something called "care groups" were introduced to help combine different types of care for patients with chronic problems. But do Dutch general practice doctors really f
Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes increasing disability due to long-term inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. This ongoing inflammation, called smoldering neuroinflammation, is tough to treat with current medications. Chronic active white matter lesions are a big part of this problem. Initially,
Imagine you're out for a festive evening in downtown Orlando. You're excited to see the holiday drone show over Lake Eola. Suddenly, something goes wrong.

Chronic pain is a common problem for breast cancer survivors. It's important to understand that physical, psychological, and social factors all play a role in pain management. To tackle this issue effectively, healthcare professionals need to work together and use different approaches. That's why we
Scientists are exploring a new way to keep an eye on nuclear reactors. They want to use special towers called eddy covariance towers to detect heat released by reactors. These towers are often used to study how ecosystems exchange heat and water vapor. The idea is to see if we can tell when a reacto
Ever thought about what it's like to work in a place where you can be yourself and share your ideas without fear? That's what organizations strive for with something called Perception of Psychological Safety (PPS). The problem is, there aren't many ways to accurately measure it. So, researchers took
Imagine a woman who's experienced a lot of abuse. You might think she’d just have emotional scars, but her gut could be hurting too. Women who haven't sought help for abuse often face gut issues like stomachaches, bloating, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). But what brings on these symptoms? Stres
