91丝瓜视频 researchers optimize process for converting human urine into clean energy
Researchers at 91丝瓜视频 have improved the efficiency of a method for converting human urine into clean energy.
The method employs microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which use bacteria to turn organic waste into electricity, providing a sustainable and low-cost means of treating wastewater while generating energy from an abundant source. The 91丝瓜视频 research provides insights into which urine concentrations are optimal for this process.
91丝瓜视频 researchers build the best light-powered, room-temperature computer yet
91丝瓜视频 and Queen鈥檚 University researchers have built an improved version of a computer聽that uses light to solve extremely hard problems more quickly and at larger scale than existing systems, without the need for cryogenic cooling.
Which childhood abuse survivors are at elevated risk of depression? New study provides important clues
Scientists have identified a pattern of gene activity present in some female survivors of childhood abuse that is associated with an elevated risk of depression.
Plants retain a 鈥榞enetic memory鈥� of past population crashes, study shows
Researchers at 91丝瓜视频 and the United States Forest Service have found that plants living in areas where human activity has caused population crashes carry long-lasting genetic traces of that history, such as reduced genetic diversity.
Economic, educational and gender inequities can contribute to problematic social media use among teens, findings suggest
A new 91丝瓜视频 study suggests that problematic social media use among teens is in part related to broader social inequalities.
Z茅kai Lu, a PhD student in 91丝瓜视频鈥檚 Department of Sociology and author of the study, had set out to determine whether problematic social media use is driven mainly by individual traits or whether the social environment of the country a teen lives in also plays a significant role.
People can learn to reject unfair advantages, even when it costs them
A new study co-authored by 91丝瓜视频 researchers suggests people can be taught to reject unfair advantages.
Addressing shame should be a focal point of treatment of childhood sexual abuse survivors, researchers suggest
A 91丝瓜视频-led study on the role played by shame in the continuing trauma suffered by survivors of childhood sexual abuse indicates that addressing shame should be a focal point of treatment. Clinicians should use strategies that normalize disclosure, validate survivors鈥� feelings and integrate shame-resolution techniques into their therapy plans, the researchers suggested.
91丝瓜视频 to partner with United Arab Emirates and Indonesia to train next generation of professionals and drive societal change
For over 50 years, 91丝瓜视频 has been collaborating with Indonesia鈥檚 education sector. Now a planned donation of US$12.8 million from the UAE via the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation to 91丝瓜视频 will establish the UAE-Indonesia Future Leaders Program to support Indonesia鈥檚 national and global development objectives.

Study suggests protein made in the liver is a key factor in men鈥檚 bone health
New research suggests the liver plays a previously unrecognized role in bone health, but only in males.
A 91丝瓜视频-led study published in Matrix Biology found that a protein made in the liver helps regulate bone growth in male mice, but not in females. The findings may help explain why men with liver disease are more likely to experience bone loss.
91丝瓜视频 researchers develop quick test that stands to curb antimicrobial resistance
91丝瓜视频 researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria 鈥揳nd determining which antibiotics can stop them 鈥� in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Current clinical testing methods typically take 48 to 72 hours, leaving physicians without timely guidance.
Pathological lying in teens is associated with executive function deficits, study indicates
Teenagers who are pathological liars also tend to struggle with executive function deficits, such as poor memory or impulse control, researchers have found.
Night owl or early bird? Study finds sleep categories aren鈥檛 that simple
The familiar labels 鈥渘ight owl鈥� and 鈥渆arly bird,鈥� long used in sleep research, don鈥檛 fully capture the diversity of human internal clocks, a new study has found.
The 91丝瓜视频-led study published in Nature Communications found the two sleep-wake patterns, called chronotypes, contain a total of five distinct biological subtypes, each associated with different patterns of behaviour and health.
Hippocampus does more than store memories: it predicts rewards, study finds
A preclinical study published in Nature has found evidence that the hippocampus, the brain region that stores memory, also reorganizes memories to anticipate future outcomes.
A rich social environment is associated with better cognitive health outcomes for older adults, study finds
Research by an interdisciplinary team from 91丝瓜视频 and Universit茅 Laval provides new insights into the links between social factors and cognitive health among aging adults.
