Consuelo Walss-Bass's family was affected by schizophrenia, yet her sister was spared. Her laboratory addresses the genetic gap by exploring signaling alterations in neurons derived from affected sibling pairs, identifying convergent abnormalities in PI3K/GSK3 signaling.
Researchers at the University of Waterloo developed a new electrode design that increases the performance of redox flow batteries by 52% by using triply periodic minimal surface geometries. This innovation enables more efficient storage of renewable energy, addressing the intermittency of wind and solar power.
Researchers have discovered a new material, LLNOF, with a record-high conductivity of seven millisiemens per centimeter, comparable to liquid electrolytes. The material's high conductivity is due to a dynamic interplay among four atomic sites that form a tetrahedron around the fluoride ion.

Scientists from the Food Packaging Forum Foundation propose a novel approach to better protect consumer health by grouping chemicals in food packaging and prioritizing them for regulatory review or phase-out. The approach can help policymakers and manufacturers overcome data gaps and prevent regrettable substitutions.
The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) and West Health Policy Center will analyze launch prices and patient access of newly approved FDA treatments. The new report will provide an independent analysis of drug prices and patient access for newly launched FDA-approved treatments.
