Researchers from Karolinska Institutet have shown that there is a connection between medication against ADHD and a reduced risk of dying prematurely.

Forskare från Karolinska Institutet har visat att det finns ett samband mellan medicinering mot adhd och minskad risk för att dö i förtid. Risken för dödsfall av onaturliga orsaker, som olyckor och överdoseringar, kan minska med en fjärdedel, enligt den nya studien publicerad i JAMA.

It provides new options for patients with poor access to this essential testing.

Alvaro Morales is the co-founder and CEO of Orb, a flexible usage-based billing engine for modern software pricing models.

Many SaaS companies want to leverage AI in their products. However, since AI is so new, pricing remains volatile. Costs can drop drastically for an AI model when the next iteration is out, and many companies lower their pricing in response to a competitor launch to gain or retain market share.

In addition to the fluctuating and unpredictable model prices, AI pricing is mostly based on usage. Customer usage is usually difficult to predict, which affects the costs your product will incur if it relies on AI models.

Researchers have mapped 50,000 of DNA’s mysterious “knots” in the human genome. The innovative study of DNA’s hidden structures may open up new approaches for treatment and diagnosis of diseases, including cancer.

An international group of researchers has developed a novel approach that enhances the efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a key process in renewable energy technologies. By introducing rare earth single atoms into manganese oxide (MnO2), the group successfully modulated oxygen electronic states, leading to unprecedented improvements in OER performance.

A researcher in Purdue University’s College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based therapies to targeted cancer cells.

A recent study led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers provides fundamental insight into how light, electrons, and crystal vibrations interact in materials. The research has implications for developing on-chip architectures for quantum information processing, significantly reducing fabrication constraints, and thermal management.

Researchers with the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) have experimentally demonstrated that metasurfaces (two-dimensional materials structured at the nanoscale) can precisely control the optical properties of thermal radiation generated within the metasurface itself. This pioneering work, published in Nature Nanotechnology, paves the way for creating custom light sources with unprecedented capabilities, impacting a wide array of scientific and technological applications.

Micro-and nanoplastics are in our food, water and the air we breathe. They are showing up in our bodies, from testicles to brain matter. Now, University of British Columbia researchers have developed a low-cost, portable tool to accurately measure plastic released from everyday sources like disposable cups and water bottles.
