JMIR Publications is proud to announce that Gunther Eysenbach, founder, CEO and executive editor, has once again been named the #1 most cited researcher in the subfield of medical informatics by Stanford/Elsevier’s Top 2% Scientists rankings.
For decades, Sandia National Laboratories’ National Solar Thermal Test Facility has harnessed the power of the sun to expose aerospace materials to intense heat, replicating the harsh conditions of faster-than-sound flight and atmospheric reentry to ensure the materials’ ability to protect the rest of the vehicle. The most recent of these tests is in support of two exciting NASA missions.
Microcombs, miniature devices generating precise light colors, are becoming more efficient. By harnessing powerful light interactions and ultra-low-loss materials, scientists have boosted microcomb efficiency from a few per cent to over 50 per cent. This paves the way for smaller, more powerful devices with applications in various fields beyond research labs. However, there are still challenges to address.
Microcombs, essential for precise time and frequency measurements, are transforming various fields. These compact devices enable high-speed communication, high-resolution metrology and accurate atomic clocks while bridging fundamental science with practical applications. Recent advancements offer new possibilities in classical and quantum information processing.
Photon-pair sources are essential resources for quantum technologies, and their chip-scale integration is crucial for realizing compact and scalable quantum systems. Recently, researchers from A*STAR and NUS in Singapore developed a nanophotonic waveguide that can efficiently generate photon pairs on-chip.
As cannabidiol products — commonly known as CBD — become more readily available, West Virginia University researchers are working to gain a broader understanding of how the substance influences driving performance and whether the effects differ between men and women.
Ship-mounted camera systems provide real-time detection and increased response time, can reduce the number of whales killed by vessel strikes
Case Western Reserve University researchers are investigating a new approach to treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in military Veterans.
In a new study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine, the drug RK-33 has demonstrated promise in treating breast cancer that has spread to the bone (breast cancer bone metastasis). RK-33 was previously shown to help treat other types of cancer and viral illnesses.
Seizure action plans often are aimed at a subset of people with epilepsy, particularly children. Dr. Lucretia Long discusses how these plans can be used to engage and educate people with epilepsy, their families, and the larger community.
Nearly 52% of Floridians favor candidates who reduce climate impacts. About 68% believe the state should take more action on climate issues and and 67% feel the federal government should as well. Notably, 88% acknowledge climate change is occurring. About 75% of respondents advocate for a diversified energy mix to include more electricity produced by renewable sources. Nearly 73% of respondents worry about home energy expenses and nearly 58% are concerned about being able to afford and maintain homeowners’ insurance due to climate change.
Motivated by a new EPA standard for fine particulate matter, a type of air pollution, researchers in Environmental Science & Technology Letters have developed a computer model that reveals an urgent need to fix gaps in the current monitoring network.
Joseph Amon, PhD, MSPH, has joined the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health as director of the Center for Public Health and Human Rights. He assumed the role on October 15.
A recent study highlights the increased risks faced by elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who also suffer from sarcopenia, a condition of age-related muscle loss. The findings indicate that these patients are significantly more likely to experience severe disability, rehospitalization, and even death compared to those without sarcopenia. This research underscores the importance of early detection and intervention in managing sarcopenia, aiming to improve health outcomes and quality of life for elderly diabetics. It provides crucial insights into the growing challenge of sarcopenia within this population.
