For The Better

A new study investigated trends in calls to poison centers across the country for exposures to liquid laundry detergent packets. The study investigators identified declines in the number, rate and severity of liquid laundry detergent packet exposures a…

New research could lead to major improvements in marine oil spill cleanup processes. The innovative study assessed the impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on microscopic seawater bacteria that perform a significant role in ecosystem functioning.

Scientists have produced the first experimental evidence of vacuum decay.

When people develop myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), the healthy maturation of blood cells is impaired. Severe forms, known as higher-risk MDS, are characterized by rapid progression, severe symptoms and often a transition to acute leukemia. Patients f…

Scientists have successfully trapped atoms of krypton (Kr), a noble gas, inside a carbon nanotube to form a one-dimensional gas. Scientists used advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods to capture the moment when Kr atoms joined together…

No matter how well children are prepared for kindergarten, their transition to the classroom during the first few months plays a key role in their success, a new study suggests.

A research team has achieved remarkable advancements in the stability and efficiency of perovskite solar cells.

A research team has developed a novel catalyst for the high-efficiency and stable production of high-purity green hydrogen.

A team of scientists has demonstrated that communication among memory-coding neurons — nerve cells in the brain responsible for maintaining working memory — is disrupted with aging and that this can begin in middle age.
