Ochsner is providing up to $2 million in tuition assistance for students with the Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) School of Nursing who qualify for the Ochsner Nurse Scholars program.
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.
Dr. Woohyun Kim's research team from the Hydrogen Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed an innovative nickel-cobalt composite catalyst that can accelerate the production and commercialization of turquoise hydrogen.
Decades of scientific work turned the tide on a fatal disease and yielded insights into immunity, vaccines, and more
Muay Thai is fast on the rise and has become yet another form of soft power that generates income for the country. Boxing stadiums are popular attractions that attract tourists to witness this special form of Thai martial art.
Scientists have developed a groundbreaking method to map sandy beach intertidal zones with unprecedented accuracy using satellite data. This innovative approach allows for precise measurements of coastlines that are constantly shaped by tides and waves, providing crucial information for managing and protecting these dynamic ecosystems. By relying solely on space-based observations, this method promises to revolutionize coastal monitoring and offers new insights into how beaches respond to climate change, sea-level rise, and severe weather events.
An international team of researchers led by Pere Gelabert and Ron Pinhasi of the University of Vienna and David Reich of Harvard University has produced the most complete set of Early Neolithic genetic data from Central Europe to date. The results of this study, just published in Nature Human Behaviour, reveal that the culture responsible for the expansion of agriculture in Central Europe 8,000 years ago showed no signs of population stratification.
Researchers at UC San Diego analyzed the genomes of hundreds of malaria parasites to determine which genetic variants are most likely to confer drug resistance.
More than a million years ago, on a hot savannah teeming with wildlife near the shore of what would someday become Lake Turkana in Kenya, two completely different species of hominins may have passed each other as they scavenged for food. Scientists know this because they have examined 1.5-million-year-old fossils they unearthed and have concluded they represent the first example of two sets of hominin footprints made about the same time on an ancient lake shore. The discovery will provide more insight into human evolution and how species cooperated and competed with one another, the scientists said.
A Canadian study reveals that allophone children who attend daycare are better prepared for kindergarten.
From December 3 to 6, UdeM is scheduled to host the fifth Congress of the Mukwege International Chair, which will be held for the first time in North America at Montreal’s Palais des congrès.
A meta-analysis by UdeM doctoral student Kevin Jamey shows promising evidence that learning to play an instrument can help kids focus.
The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) has begun its 2024 plasma experiments, aiming to secure advanced plasma operation technologies.
“Historically, the Thai language is primarily rooted in the Tai-Kadai language family, with some adaptations over time, especially in basic vocabulary used for common or general concepts. Some Thai words were influenced by the Khmer language, and others were borrowed from languages such as Pali and Sanskrit,” according to Assistant Professor Dr. Kiat Thepchuaysuk, Director of the Center for Thai as a Foreign Language (CTFL), Chulalongkorn University.
Since more and more deciduous trees are being planted in Swiss forests, whose wood is often burned directly, innovative ideas for a cascade use are in high demand in order to utilize Swiss hardwood more sustainably. Empa researchers are therefore equipping wood with new functionalities. Their latest coup: wood that can glow in the dark.
The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM), an institute under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Science and ICT, has announced the development of a groundbreaking technology that significantly enhances semiconductor packaging productivity while reducing manufacturing costs.
Australian researchers say access to a free medicated nasal spray which temporarily reverses the effects of opioid toxicity while waiting for an ambulance to arrive, will save lives and reduce opioid-related hospital admissions.
