Half of 18- to 25-year-olds believe that the average young adult drives or rides in a car at least once a month while the driver is under the influence of alcohol and cannabis.
The life cycle assessment (LCA) results, which have been peer-reviewed and published in Radiology, found diagnostic services generate the equivalent of nearly 1,100 gas-powered cars annually, or an estimated 4.6kt carbon dioxide equivalent.
A cardiogenic shock team at a Texas specialty hospital significantly decreased the time from first signs to diagnosis and from the initial transfer request to acceptance for patients being transferred from a referring hospital
Researchers from Bar-Ilan University and Haifa University have unveiled a new theory of interpersonal synchrony that redefines how we understand social coordination and its role in human interaction. Titled “A Theory of Flexible Multimodal Synchrony,” the paper, recently published in Psychological Review, provides an innovative framework for understanding synchrony across behavioral, physiological, and neural modalities.
A new international partnership between Bar-Ilan University and Hapvida NotreDame Intermédica (HNDI) in Brazil will facilitate innovative research on genetic and phenotypic factors that affect maternal health, including age-related neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
In a significant development for sustainable technology, scientists have discovered a method to transform waste oil into a powerful material for energy storage, creating nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbons (HPCs) specifically designed for supercapacitors. This innovative template-free approach, developed by researchers at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology and Tongji University, produces HPCs with enhanced conductivity and electrochemical performance, marking a meaningful step forward in the pursuit of efficient, eco-friendly energy storage solutions.
A recent study presents a radiative transfer model-driven machine learning technique for retrieving carbon monoxide from the world’s first hyperspectral Geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder (GIIRS) onboard Fengyun-4B (FY-4B) satellite, providing complementary insights into air quality and pollutant transport over East Asia.
A new study reveals how plants can harness their genetic makeup to fend off Podosphaera xanthii, the fungal culprit behind powdery mildew. By activating a lipid-based defense system using a natural plant-derived inducer, the research paves the way for eco-friendly pest control, reducing reliance on harmful pesticides and promoting agricultural sustainability.
A new review uncovers the hidden forces that have been reshaping India’s economic landscape over the past decade. Financial technology, or FinTech, has emerged as a silent yet powerful game-changer for the country’s burgeoning digital economy. Analyzing comprehensive data from 2010 to 2022 across 28 states, researchers have revealed FinTech’s transformative impact, not just in fostering technological innovation but also in redefining financial governance. This eye-opening research sheds light on how FinTech is catapulting India's economic ambitions into a digital future while emphasizing the importance of regulatory mechanisms that fuel this acceleration.
