While delaying motherhood is a growing national trend, a new Orlando Health survey reveals a widespread public misconception. Over half of Americans (54%) believe women cannot give birth safely in their 40s. At Orlando Health, doctors are breaking down these misconceptions and empowering hopeful mothers through advanced testing and technology that ensures safer pregnancies.

Pulsars suggest that ultra–low-frequency gravitational waves are rippling through the cosmos. The signal seen by international pulsar timing array collaborations in 2023 could come from a stochastic gravitational-wave background—the sum of many distant sources—or from a single nearby binary of supermassive black holes. To tell these apart, Hideki Asada, theoretical physicist and Professor at Hirosaki University, and Shun Yamamoto, researcher at the Graduate School of Science and Technology, Hirosaki University, propose a method that exploits beat phenomena between gravitational waves at nearly the same frequency, searching for their imprint in the tiny shifts of pulsars’ radio-pulse arrival times. 

POSTECH analyzed the contribution of wildfires to changes in fine particulate matter PM_2.5 concentrations during drought periods.

POSTECH research team develops a composite hemostatic material that adheres to bleeding sites and supports early wound stabilization.

In a remarkable study that sheds new light on the potential of biochar to enhance phosphate solubilization, researchers are exploring how biochar can promote the solubilization of FePO4 through modulating organic acids excreted by Talaromyces pinophilus. The study, titled "Biochar Promotes FePO4 Solubilization Through Modulating Organic Acids Excreted by Talaromyces pinophilus," is led by Prof. Quan Chen and Prof. Min Wu from the Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Soil Carbon Sequestration and Pollution Control at Kunming University of Science & Technology in Kunming, People's Republic of China. This research offers valuable insights into the role of biochar in enhancing phosphate availability for plants.
