Researchers at UCF have created SilFoam, a hemostatic sponge bandage that rapidly expands to control bleeding and has antibacterial properties. Tested on lifelike mannequins, it showed promise in reducing blood loss and infection.

Researchers used micro-CT scans to study parachute textiles' fiber-scale properties, revealing that the textiles are not isotropic; they exhibit different strengths in various directions. This knowledge could improve parachute material selection.

A study reveals that 100% ground beef promotes muscle protein synthesis more effectively than soy-based protein. Participants needed to consume double the amount of soy to achieve comparable results.

Plants across the world are absorbing about 31% more carbon dioxide than previously thought, a new study reveals.

Satellite-derived data on artificial light at night has shown how the Arctic is affected by human activity.

Humans have been primed to enjoy carbohydrate-rich foods for a lot longer than previously thought, according to a new study.

Researchers identified collapsing trade winds as a key factor in ocean temperature spikes causing coral bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef. Their findings challenge the belief that El Niño is the main cause.

Research shows that polypropylene mesh, commonly used in vaginal surgeries, begins to degrade within 60 days post-implantation. The study found increased stiffness and oxidation in the material.

Researchers synthesized a novel Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) using the “Merged-Net Strategy,” inspired by architectural techniques. This innovative approach enhances the stability, water adsorption capacity, and reusability of the MOF.

Researchers at NC State University have identified that the methoxy content in lignin influences microbial fermentation, facilitating the conversion of trees into sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based industrial chemicals.
