The authors test whether coating stainless steel orthopedic screws in silver will promote calcium precipitation to improve orthopedic implant integration into bone.

The authors looked at how activation of the sympathetic nervous system impacts short-term memory.

The authors looked at the correlation between being able to speak more than one language (multilingualism) and visual imagery. They found multilingual individuals had higher visual imagery as measured by the VVIQ.

The authors compare air quality in the presence and absence of a living wall in a high school hallway in Brooklyn, NY.

Aquaponics (the combination of aquatic plant farming with fish production) is an innovative farming practice, but the fish that are typically used, like tilapia, are expensive and space-consuming to cultivate. Medina and Alvarez explore other options test if mosquitofish are a viable option in the aquaponic cultivation of herbs and microgreens.

In this study, the authors looked at a proto-oncogene, KRAS, and searched for molecules that are predicted to be able to bind to the inactive form of KRAS. They found that a modified version of Irbesartan, a derivative of benzimidazole, showed the best binding to inactive KRAS.

A key barrier to adoption of solar energy technology is the low efficiency of solar cells converting solar energy into electricity. Sims and Sims tackle this problem by coding a Raspberry Pi as a multimeter to determine which wavelength of light generates the most voltage and current from a solar panel.

The authors looked at renewable energy generators and the ability to utilize green roofs as a solution to climate change.

The authors investigated prophages present in Streptococcus bacteria that may increase their survival in different environments.
