A new Tulane University study suggests that catheter ablation delivers major benefits for patients diagnosed with both atrial fibrillation and obstructive sleep apnea, significantly lowering the risks of heart failure and death. The study found a 40% drop in major cardiovascular events and a 70% decline in all-cause mortality.
A UH crystals expert has shown how to bend and twist crystals without physical force, using a molecule called a tautomer. This discovery has potential applications in drug delivery and material properties, such as optoelectronics and soft robotics.
Researchers have developed a novel copper-based catalyst that can selectively convert CO2 into acetaldehyde with an impressive efficiency of 92%. The breakthrough provides a greener and more sustainable way to produce acetaldehyde, potentially replacing the Wacker process and reducing CO2 emissions.
