Researchers developed new backtesting approaches for expectile forecasts to address issues with existing methods. The new tests disentangle unconditional coverage and independence properties, improving size and power properties.
Researchers have developed functionalized wood as a versatile material for next-generation energy and environmental applications. The work enables sustainable solutions in metal-ion batteries, Zn–air systems, and supercapacitors, as well as efficient adsorption, photothermal filtration, and catalytic degradation for water treatment.
Researchers develop synergistic ultramicropore-confined and electronic-state modulation strategies in sustainable lignin-derived hard carbon to achieve robust sodium-ion batteries. The material exhibits high reversible capacity and initial Coulombic efficiency, making it a promising anode candidate.
A study found that people with chronic migraine who took glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1) for other conditions had fewer emergency department visits and hospitalizations. GLP-1 drugs were also associated with lower need for medications used to stop and prevent migraine attacks.
A new Danish study found that people with a higher genetic risk of developing chronic inflammatory bowel disease are more likely to experience a severe course. The researchers discovered a correlation between genetics and disease severity, which could lead to tailored treatment strategies.
Microbiologists Nicola Holden and Gil Domingue discuss the raw milk debate, highlighting the lack of meaningful differences between pasteurized and raw milk. They stress the need for improved consumer protection through clearer product labeling and regulation enforcement.
