Gas sensors are like detectives. They sniff out specific chemicals in the air. But, they often struggle with picking out certain smells, especially when the environment changes. This is where NiO and ZnO come into play. These are not new elements, but their combination in sensors is innovative. By f
The link between sensory disabilities and crime is a complex issue. It is important to understand how teens with sensory disabilities are affected by nonlethal violent victimization. This is especially true in the United States, where this topic has not been deeply explored. When it comes to nonlet
The world of heart health is always changing. One big question is about people who get a new heart valve through a special procedure. This procedure is called transcatheter aortic valve replacement. After this, doctors usually suggest taking a single antiplatelet pill for life. This is if the patien
Peritoneal metastasis is a tough nut to crack. It's hard to treat with standard immunotherapy. The reason? The body's own defenses are weakened in the abdomen, and there's a barrier that stops treatments from working properly. But there's a new player in town: sonodynamic therapy. It's a fancy name
A special protein called Dha A is great at breaking down mustard gas. However, it has a big problem: it's not very stable. This makes it hard to use it widely. So, scientists came up with a clever idea. They wrapped Dha A in a special gel. This gel is made from poloxamer, a substance often used to c
Cancer treatment has always been a tough journey. In the past, doctors often told cancer patients to rest as much as possible. They believed that physical activity could be harmful. This idea has been challenged in recent years. Many experts now agree that exercise can be beneficial for cancer patie
Wearable tech is taking a leap forward. It is now possible to turn thoughts into art. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are stepping out of labs and into the world of art. These interfaces read brain signals and turn them into visual and physical expressions. Two cool projects show how this works.
Flexible electronics are becoming more and more popular. They are used in many places. However, they often do not work well in different situations. This is a problem. So, scientists have been working on a new material. It is a special type of polyurethane elastomer. This material is different. It c
The world of temperature sensing just got a glow-up. Scientists have created a special membrane that changes how we measure heat. This isn't your average thermometer. It's a thin, see-through sheet that lights up when it gets hot or cold. The secret ingredient? Tiny sheets of yttrium oxide, dop
Macrolides are a type of antibiotic with powerful effects. They are made through a complex process involving polyketide synthases (PKSs) and other enzymes. Unfortunately, creating new macrolides in the lab often results in low yields. To fix this, scientists need a way to quickly test many variation
