This study aims to examine the demographic factors that predict patterns of co-use of alcohol and marijuana in the United States. Significant findings were identified using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2012-2022), showing that there were significant differences in the prevalence of substance use among demographic groups, with young adults showing the highest co-use of alcohol and marijuana.

This study investigates how caffeine and melatonin affect learning in adolescent zebrafish, serving as a model for human teens. Using an automated system to track behavior, we found that melatonin slowed learning while caffeine caused erratic, inconsistent responses, suggesting both substances can negatively impact adolescent learning patterns. These findings highlight the need for further research into their physiological effects and potential implications for human adolescents.

This paper discusses how the conditions at the center of stars affects the nuclear reactions that happen inside these stars. We focused on the effect of temperature and density and found that these two properties interacted to create a greater effect when combined than when separate.

The authors examined the relationships between S&P 500 Technology and Financials equity sectors and their corresponding investment-grade fixed-income markets from 1995 to 2025.

This study examined how social determinants of health (SDH) relate to vision loss by analyzing publicly available data from 18 northern and southern U.S. states and using Bayesian correlation analysis.

The authors used a particle-in-cell simulation to determine the effects on extensive and intensive metrics. They found that preliminary simulations could be run quickly with much lower particle counts before more technically demanding and comprehensive simulations are performed.

The authors looked at preferences of donors to donate between different animal-centered or humanitarian charities.

This paper looks at the antibacterial and toxic effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on Escherichia coli bacteria and Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies. They modified the AgNPs size, concentration, and surface coating to determine the effects on each of the organisms. For both organisms, increased AgNP concentration demonstrated increased toxicity but particle size and surface coating had opposing effects.

The authors looked at how pharmacokinetics changed depending on the use of an in vitro or an in vivo model.

The authors tested the impact of various additives on biopolymer degradation.
