Often, robots aim to replicate some form of natural motion or action. In controlled settings such as high-volume manufacturing or warehouse inventory, robots are often far better performing, with a higher quality of work and lower cost over time. However, […]

Autism Spectrum Disorder is one of the fastest growing developmental delays and has risen by 700% since 1996, now impacting 1 in 40 children in the United States. This causes a significant financial burden on families, with individual costs going […]

In today’s world, stress seems to be an inevitable part of modern life. However, for some people, stress can have a particularly negative effect on their lives, behavior, and relationships. Stress may also be a predecessor for physical and mental […]

The quest to understand where something has come from pervades many avenues of science. One important field of geological research is tracking the parenthood of sedimentary rocks through sedimentary provenance studies. When rocks are exposed at the Earth’s surface, they […]

The atomic stacking sequence of materials known as the complex oxides can be critical to material properties. For instance, the oxide YBa2Cu3O7 is superconducting only when the stacking sequence is precisely Y-CuO2-BaO- CuO-BaO-CuO2. One can test this by growing an […]

Accordingly to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost 2 billion adults were overweight in 2016. Of these, over 650 million were obese. Clearly, overweight and obesity have become a global emergency with serious health concerns for affected individuals. Indeed, being […]

The prediction of cerium aqueous speciation is relevant in many research fields. Indeed, cerium compounds are used for many industrial applications (e.g. in flat-screen TVs, low-energy light bulbs, and floodlights), which may require the control of cerium aqueous chemistry for […]

Imagine that you could become aware that you were dreaming, or “lucid,” in your dreams at any time. Countless researchers and laypersons alike have pursued on-demand lucid dreaming since the first books mentioning the phenomenon began to appear in the […]

Humans will be able to reside on new planets in forthcoming years thanks to progression in science and technology, starting with the nearest planets and moving on to the more remote ones. A few missions for human settlement on Mars […]

The energy crisis, water shortage, and pollution are among the major challenges confronting sustainable environmental existence. Renewable energy derived from sustainable feedstocks can reduce the load on fossil fuels and curb greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Biofuels, particularly bioethanol and biodiesel, […]
