Researchers have developed and demonstrated an efficient and scalable technique that allows them to manufacture soft polymer materials in a dozen different structures, or “morphologies,” from ribbons and nanoscale sheets to rods and branched particles.
MU researcher studies social, structural determinants of health that feed vaccine hesitancy, worsen health disparities for African Americans.
Process Could Help Manufacturers Make Batteries More Efficient
North Carolina State University researchers found in a recent study that before disruptions from the COVID-19 outbreak, a group of college students had higher average physical activity in a pilot wellness program that combined health coaching with exercise and sleep tracking.
MU researchers show how the evolving virus evades antibodies from vaccines, previous infections.
A new article highlights how an old psychedelic drug, Ariadne, may improve brain health without hallucinogenic effects.
Study also found those with ‘full-code’ status regarding end-of-life care more likely to have repeat transfers than those with ‘do-not-resuscitate’ status.
Not all probiotics are created equal. In a new study, researchers found that certain enzymes within a class known as bile salt hydrolases (BSHs) can restrict Clostridioides difficile (C. diff.) colonization by both altering existing bile acids and by creating a new class of bile acids within the gut’s microbial environment.
Researchers have demonstrated techniques that provide unprecedented detail into how materials behave when exposed to a range of stresses, including shear stress.
A team of chemical engineering researchers has developed a self-driven lab that is capable of identifying and optimizing new complex multistep reaction routes for the synthesis of advanced functional materials and molecules.
Findings of a new study suggest the need for culturally sensitive initiatives to mitigate the effect of social isolation in vulnerable populations
A new forensic science study sheds light on how the bones of infants and juveniles decay. The findings will help forensic scientists determine how long a young person’s remains were at a particular location, as well as which bones are best suited for collecting DNA and other tissue samples that can help identify the deceased.
In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers found they could separate blended cotton and polyester fabric using enzymes – nature’s tools for speeding chemical reactions.
The Dog Aging Project team outlines how the open-source data it is gathering could be useful for myriad studies.
A recent study that examined the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and law enforcement underscores both the need for law enforcement agencies to be involved in the development of public policies regarding AI –
A North Carolina State University study suggests that cover crops – or crops grown in between cash-crop seasons – can help keep Midwestern soil drier and healthier, thereby preventing losses incurred when farmers can’t plant cash crops because of flooding or excessive soil moisture.
Texas A&M oceanographers are examining ancient methane gas ocean cores that reveal clues about global and environmental changes.
Comparing routes between five metropolitan areas, Texas A&M researchers found navigation systems often guide drivers to take paths that carry a greater risk of crashes.
New research from North Carolina State University finds that simply anticipating stress related to political elections causes adverse physical health effects.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces.
