With low-temperature transportation being critical for the progress of research and medical services by preserving biological samples and vaccines, the optimization of cold storage materials is more critical now than ever. The exclusive use of dry ice has its limitations. Notably, it proves insufficient for cold storage during long-range transportation necessary for the delivery of specimens to rural areas. In this article, the authors have proposed a new means of cold storage through the combination of dry ice and ethanol. Upon thorough analysis, the authors have determined their new method as considerably better than the use of pure dry ice across many characteristics, including cold storage capacity, longevity of material, and financial and environmental feasibility.

In this study, the authors created a survey to assess misconceptions and knowledge deficits regarding cardiovascular diseases exist among US adults and minors.

In this study, the authors investigate an alternative way to kill bacteria other than the use of antibiotics, which is useful when considering antibiotic-resistance bacteria. They use bacteriophages, which are are viruses that can infect bacteria, and measure cell lysis. They make some important findings that these bacteriophage can lyse both antibiotic-resistant and non-resistant bacteria.

This study examined whether findings from laboratory studies of baseball cognition also apply during real games. Using 2024 MLB data from 30 players, researchers analyzed batting performance under different levels of feedback and anxiety.

The authors investigated adoption rates of solar photovoltaic power at K-12 schools in California.

This study investigates PFAS contamination in Santa Clarita groundwater, focusing on potential sources. The study employs statistical analysis to assess data quality and trends which allowed them to identified domestic waste, fire extinguisher materials, and food packaging as the most likely sources of contamination.

The authors looked at unionization petitions from Starbucks workers between August 2021 and July 2024 to determine what factors influence votes for or against unionization.

The authors looked at beach nourishment (a way to combat erosion on coasts) and resulting grain size distribution. Their work is important to understand the dynamics of erosion and it's relation to wave action and the implications this has for efforts to mitigate coastal erosion.

Droughts have a wide range of effects, from ecosystems failing and crops dying, to increased illness and decreased water quality. Drought prediction is important because it can help communities, businesses, and governments plan and prepare for these detrimental effects. This study predicts drought conditions by using predictable weather patterns in machine learning models.

Consumption of non-alcoholic beverages, like non-alcoholic beer, is growing in popularity in the United States. These beverages raise important societal questions, such as whether minors should be allowed to purchase or consume non-alcoholic beer. An and An investigate this issue by surveying adults to see if they support minors purchasing and consuming non-alcoholic beer.
