The authors use machine learning on MRI images of brain tissue to predict tumor onset as an avenue for early detection of brain cancer.

Noise pollution negatively impacts the health and behavioral routines of humans and other animals, but the production of synthetic sound-absorbing materials contributes to harmful gas emissions into the atmosphere. The authors of this paper investigated the effectiveness of environmentally-friendly, cheap natural-fiber materials, such as jute, as replacements for synthetic materials, such as gypsum and foam, in soundproofing.

In this article, the authors investigate the effects of fungus E. muscae on fruit fly behavior. More specifically, they investigate whether this fungus affects olfaction. Their findings contribute to a broader set of studies seeking to understand how host's central nervous systems can be affected by infections.

When granular materials are poured onto a surface, they form conical piles whose slopes increase before reaching a stable angle of repose. We found that this angle evolution follows a previously unrecognized two-phase exponential growth pattern that is conserved across granular materials with diverse particle properties. The parameters of this model correlate with particle friction and are influenced by deposition conditions, providing a quantitative framework for describing pile formation.

This study explored sunscreen storage temperature affects the efficacy of sunscreen to block UV light.

The authors use computational methods to compare tau acetylation to the better studied tau phosphorylation in Alzheimer's disease and then design and computationally test a new drug to prevent abnormal post-translational modifications of tau.

The authors investigated the impact of light pollution on astrophotography.

The authors survey teenagers within the United States regarding the effect of social media use on sleep quality and attention span.

Impact of carbon tax and dividend on financial security

Poor air quality is associated with negative effects on human health but can be difficult to measure in an accurate and cost-effective manner. The authors design and test a monitor for measuring indoor air quality using low-cost components.
