50+ couples’ (un)happiness is interrelated

A longitudinal study found that factors like health and socioeconomic status do not alter the association of life satisfaction between spouses. The study suggests that women with broad social networks may be emotionally less dependent on their partner, but men's social networks have little effect on their partner's life satisfaction.

New study explores the use of VR in reducing stress in young adults with diabetes

Researchers at Wayne State University are exploring the feasibility and acceptability of virtual reality-based Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) as a tool to reduce stress in young adults with type 1 diabetes. The study aims to assess the effects of MBSR-VR on glycemic control, mindfulness, and psychological distress.

Granular beds with asymmetric wettability enhances migration and separation of petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants

Researchers developed granular beds with asymmetric wettability to treat refinery wastewater. The structure directs oil droplets to migrate efficiently, reducing blockages and energy consumption. The findings offer a reliable technical pathway for optimizing energy consumption and scaling up oily wastewater pretreatment processes.

Divine punishment as an ancient tool for modern sustainability

Researchers found that strong supernatural belief systems can effectively reduce environmental harm by encouraging restraint and promoting sustainable relationships between humans and nature. The study's model showed that supernatural punishments are effective when the fear of punishment outweighs short-term gains and is not too extreme.

Hotter does mean wetter

A Kyoto University study found that a 4 degree global temperature increase will intensify extreme precipitation and make it stronger by 7% per degree of warming. However, favorable conditions for extreme precipitation occur when atmospheric moisture is sufficient, not on the hottest days.

Can we hear gravitational-wave "beats" in the rhythm of pulsars?

Researchers propose a method to distinguish between nanohertz gravitational wave sources using pulsar timing arrays. By searching for beat phenomena in the tiny shifts of pulsars' radio-pulse arrival times, scientists can identify specific, nearby binary supermassive black hole systems.
