Voter turnout among young people ages 18-29 was 42% (with +/- 1% margin of error) overall in the 2024 presidential election, and much higher—50% on aggregate—in key battleground states across the country (AZ, GA, MI, NV, NC, PA, WI), according to researchers at Tufts University's Tisch College.
El Paso dental community member Deborah Whitehill announced the first Hunt School of Dental Medicine scholarship to cover full tuition and fees for an El Paso student’s entire four years of school. The scholarship honors her late husband H.V. Whitehill, D.D.S., M.S.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today honored Tiffany Richards, Ph.D., A.P.R.N., A.N.P.-B.C., A.O.C.N.P., with the 2024 Brown Foundation Award for Excellence in Oncology Nursing.
Journalists have long used newspapers, radio, television, magazines and, more recently, the internet to inform the public. But what if there’s a richer and more compelling way to share and address real world issues? University of South Australia's Dr Ben Stubbs explains how video games are being developed in journalism as a more interactive way to engage younger audiences and tell impactful stories.
One in five Americans suffers from acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease, when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. Treatments include lifestyle changes, medications and now a minimally invasive procedure called the LINX Reflux Management System.
To build nanostructures, researchers need to probe these structures’ internal architecture at various states of assembly in three dimensions. This project used several methods to produce X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans that provided record-setting, 7-nanometer resolution and information on the elements in the materials. The researchers then constructed 3-D frameworks to reveal the nanostructures’ imperfections and interfaces.
Social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram are fuelling unrealistic, unhealthy obsessions with a lean and muscular physique among many young men, according to a new Australian study.
Older people who are sleepy during the day or lack enthusiasm for activities due to sleep issues may be more likely to develop a syndrome that can lead to dementia, according to a study published in the November 6, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
"Painting to Scale," the latest exhibition at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, boasts rarely shown, large-scale artwork from the Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection of Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union. The exhibition runs from Wednesday, Nov. 13, through Oct. 5, 2025, in the lower Dodge wing at the Zimmerli, 71 Hamilton St.
DURHAM, N.H.—(November 6, 2024)—Research led by the University of New Hampshire sheds light on how coyotes, North America’s most successful predators, are responding to various environmental pressures, including human development, hunting and competition with larger carnivores. Surprisingly, the study’s findings suggest that human hunting practices may actually contribute to increasing the number of coyotes.
Ledia Shehu, a doctoral student at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), has been selected to receive a NASA Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) grant for her proposal, “Physics-Based Multiscale Constitutive Model for ISRU-Based 3D-Printed Lunar Concrete.” The project seeks to develop a multiscale model for 3D-printed concrete using lunar materials by simulating lunar conditions.
Nuclear physics theorists have demonstrated that complex calculations run on supercomputers can accurately predict the distribution of electric charges in mesons, particles made of a quark and an antiquark. The calculations also help validate a method that will be used to make predictions for and analyze data from high-energy experiments at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Professor of Sociology Michael Rocque has been an expert source for the media on gun violence for years and has also regularly authored opinion pieces on the topic. In the wake of the mass shootings in Lewiston, one year ago, he wrote an opinion piece for The Boston Globe, calling for legislative action, as well as a column for The Daily Beast.
Health care doesn’t stop when a patient leaves the hospital. The vast majority of most patients’ care happens at home. Caregivers often struggle to balance work, caretaking duties, and other responsibilities while managing what can be intense emotional stress.
WashU biologists, led by Xuehua Zhong in Arts & Sciences, investigated the inner workings of DNA methylation in plants. Their findings could help engineer crops that are more resilient to environmental changes, like heat or drought stress.
Newly-published guidance from the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI), the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) and the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy (AAOA) provides useful recommendations to insurance companies regarding appropriate documentation requirements for allergen immunotherapy.
SMU computer scientist Mehak Gupta and her colleagues have developed a computer model that uses advanced machine learning to reliably predict obesity in early childhood.
EnKoat, an Arizona State University spinout founded by two doctoral students, has developed a roof coating that uses thermal-energy storage materials to mitigate heat effects improve building energy use.
Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, narrowly defeating Vice President Kamala Harris and flipping key battleground states. ...
