Researchers say they need more relevant information about the spread and impact of the virus among Hoosiers. Author: WTHR.com staff Updated: 12:42 PM EST February 12, 2021 NOTRE DAME, Ind. — As new and more transmissible forms of the novel coronavirus spread in Indiana and the states vaccine rollout continues to expand, researchers say they need more relevant information about the spread and impact of the virus among Hoosiers. The Indiana COVID-19 Registry has ...

New Solvent Improves on an Emerging Desalination Technology Written by AZoMFeb 12 2021 Researchers predict that two-thirds of the global population could be affected by freshwater shortage by 2025. To address this problem, scientists from the University of Notre Dame have found that a new solvent—an ionic liquid—enhances a budding desalination technology: directional solvent extraction.

QF expert developing AI tech to reduce side effects of radiotherapy  03 Feb 2021 - 8:07 Dr Othmane Bouhali The Peninsula Doha: Personalized radiation dose for breast cancer can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, according to Director of Research Computing and Professor at Qatar Foundation (QF) partner Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMU-Q), Dr. Othmane Bouhali. Cancer treatment through radiotherapy has significantly increased the number of cancer survivors, but it has also increased ...

Mange in Yellowstone wolves reveals insights into human scabies and conservation biology Liana Wait, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Jan. 25, 2021 9:30 a.m. Before wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in the mid-1990s, they were vaccinated for common diseases and treated for any parasite infections they already carried. As a result, the first few generations of wolves were relatively disease-free, but over the years, various diseases have found their wa...

Ideas, Inventions And Innovations Study: X-Rays Surrounding ‘Magnificent 7’ May Be Traces of Sought-After Particle Researchers say they may have found proof of theorized axions, and possibly dark matter, around group of neutron stars. An artistic rendering of the XMM-Newton (X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission) space telescope. A study of archival data from the XMM-Newton and the Chandra X-ray space telescopes found evidence of high levels of X-ray emission from the nearby Magnificent Seven neutr...

A new study, led by a theoretical physicist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), suggests that

Date Time Excess x-rays from neutron stars could lead to discovery of new particle A team of scientists, including a University of Minnesota researcher, have found that mysterious x-rays detected from nearby neutron stars may be the first evidence of axions, hypothetical particles that many physicists believe make up dark matter. If their theory is confirmed, the researchers’ findings could help physicists unravel several mysteries of the universe. Their paper is published in Physical Review ...

A new study, led by a theoretical physicist at Berkeley Lab, suggests that never-before-observed particles called axions may be the source of unexplained, high-energy X-ray emissions surrounding a group of neutron stars.

PNNL-led team designs highly active cobalt-based PGM-free catalyst for fuel cells A multi-institutional research team led by materials scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has designed a highly active and durable catalyst that doesn’t rely on costly platinum group metals (PGM) to spur the necessary chemical reaction. The new catalyst contains cobalt interspersed with nitrogen and carbon. When compared to a similarly structured catalyst made from iron—another promisin...
