A new qualitative study from Japan spotlights “Team Orange,” a community-based dementia support program designed to help families and caregivers navigate the long, often confusing course of cognitive decline. Reporting experiences from community
Phosphorus is usually treated as a “helper” in metal phosphides—either as a sacrificial template that leaves behind active phases under electrochemical conditions, or as a passive electronic modifier. A new study challenges that
A new review is turning Physics-Informed Neural Network–Digital Twins (PINN-DT) into a serious contender for real-world thermal energy optimization. By reframing model training with thermodynamics instead of relying only on empirical correlations, researchers
Mechanical metamaterials promise tougher, lighter materials—but designing them has been slow because fracture is governed by mechanisms that span many length scales, from atomistic inelasticity to crack propagation through complex architectures. Traditional lattice
An international team led by researchers at Hiroshima University has uncovered a way to detect early-stage deterioration in human skin collagen—before any visible thinning or fragmentation of the fiber network occurs. Published in
A new UK study tracking how smokers source cigarettes and hand-rolling tobacco reports a notable rise in purchases from illicit channels. Researchers analysed repeated cross-sectional survey data collected from 9,996 participants aged 16
A new study published this July argues that colorectal cancer prevention could be sharpened by marrying two types of data that rarely meet at the same decision table: genome-wide polygenic scores (GPS) and
Plastic pollution is increasingly recognized as a planet-wide stressor rather than a problem confined to coasts. Researchers estimate that roughly 11 million tons of plastic enter the oceans every year, where large debris
CLEVELAND, Ohio (July 15, 2026) — Perimenopause remains an underrecognized biological transition marked by hormone-driven symptom volatility. A new US study quantifies how common “perimenopause uncertainty” is and identifies its main drivers, with
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have pioneered a revolutionary advancement in contact lens technology by combining cutting-edge 3D printing with innovative silicone chemistry. This breakthrough allows for the rapid production of patient-specific
