Researchers developed a data-driven framework to identify optimal scale-up patterns for modular CO₂ reduction reactors. The study found that different performance objectives require distinct architectural hierarchies, with total annual cost influenced by substrate-level features and CO₂ conversion dictated at the stack level.
A study by Peking University First Hospital and collaborators found that a specialty AI knowledge base can aid in standardized learning tasks for venous thromboembolism (VTE) education. The tool reduced the burden of searching and integrating information, allowing learners to focus on clinical reasoning.
A new study reveals ZRSR1's role in restraining hepatic lipogenesis by controlling the LXR-SREBP1c pathway. In mice with high-fat diet-induced obesity and steatosis, ZRSR1 overexpression reduced liver triglyceride accumulation and insulin resistance.
Researchers developed a hierarchical porous carbon cathode with a unique dual-ion relay storage mechanism, overcoming kinetic and capacity mismatches. The material exhibited high specific capacity, excellent rate capability, and outstanding cycling stability.
Researchers developed a method to quantify and mitigate thermal interference in electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) measurements. The results showed that room-temperature calibration can be applied at high temperatures without compromising reconstruction integrity. Increasing wall thickness significantly amplifies measurement error...
Researchers developed Ce-doped BiOI catalysts for efficient CO₂ conversion to cyclic carbonates, overcoming limitations of conventional homogeneous catalytic systems. The proposed mechanism involves oxygen vacancy-mediated Lewis acid-base pairs, facilitating epoxide adsorption and reducing the energy barrier for epoxy ring-opening.
Researchers from Kogakuin University and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad collaborate to develop advanced glass-ceramic materials for energy storage and conversion. The joint effort aims to deepen understanding of Narpsio-V materials' structure-property relationships and optimize their performance.
A research team at KAIST has uncovered the molecular mechanism by which amino acid signals activate cell growth signaling. The findings suggest a potential basis for next-generation anticancer therapies that target abnormal growth signaling in tumor cells.
A new study found that four AI-powered photo-based calorie-tracking apps underestimated the calories and fat content of meals by about a third. The researchers used standardized photos of 102 meals prepared in a controlled metabolic kitchen to evaluate the apps' accuracy.
A recent analysis of prebiotic sodas found that they often contain relatively little prebiotic fiber content and more sugar than marketing claims suggest. Many products include nutrition and functional claims that may be misleading, creating a 'health halo' among consumers.
A new study of teens around age 18 found that consuming breakfast increased their overall intake of important nutrients such as fiber, iron, zinc, and choline. Additionally, eating breakfast reduced the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods throughout the day.
A large study of over 65,000 postmenopausal women found that a higher adherence to the Planetary Health Diet was associated with a 28% lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Women who followed the diet more closely had a decreased risk of heart failure and stroke compared to those in the lowest-adherence group.
A study found that FDA-issued sodium reduction targets had minimal impact on the amount of sodium in new packaged foods, with some categories even increasing sodium levels. Researchers argue that stronger accountability mechanisms are needed to effectively reduce population sodium consumption and related health issues.
