Newswise — BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Millions of people with diabetes track their glucose levels daily using finger-stick devices that draw and analyze their blood. But what if they could monitor it with just a sweat sensor? That’s the idea behind new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York that could revolutionize diabetes management by…
Newswise — The Biden administration may be moving forward with plans to lower the amount of nicotine in tobacco products. Faculty members Kevin Schroth and Melissa Mercincavage at the Rutgers Institute for Nicotine & Tobacco Studies are available to speak about the FDA’s crucial role in tobacco and nicotine regulation. The following quotes from Schroth and Mercincavage are…
BYLINE: Paul Menser Newswise — Since its days as the National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has focused on proving that what people think can’t be done is in fact possible. In the past decade, the lab has repeatedly demonstrated to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the nuclear industry that it…
BYLINE: Tamara Dietrich Newswise — NEWPORT NEWS, VA – For nearly half a century, Robert D. “Bob” McKeown has probed nuclear particles and educated rising generations of physicists. Now, the former deputy director for science at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is being honored for his outstanding career contributions with…
Newswise — NEWPORT NEWS, VA – More than 30 of the world’s most advanced particle accelerators for research are built on one technology: superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology. It’s typically powered by base components made of pure niobium metal, but recent advances have shown that parts coated with a niobium-tin alloy may allow for greater efficiency….
Newswise — A team of interdisciplinary scientists from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering under the College of Design and Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed flexible fibres with self-healing, light-emitting and magnetic properties. The Scalable Hydrogel-clad Ionotronic Nickel-core Electroluminescent (SHINE) fibre is bendable, emits highly visible light, and can…
Newswise — NEWPORT NEWS, VA – “What If?” is more than a comic book storyline: It’s one of the most important questions that a scientist can explore. But often, the what if questions may seem too tangential, too grandiose, or too pie in the sky to spend time and money on, when there are so…
BYLINE: Tracy Marc Newswise — The U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is expecting a 95-ton coldbox delivery from Sassenage, France. A 55-by-14-foot cryogenic vessel coldbox will soon arrive at the lab after a two-month voyage across the Atlantic Ocean, passage up the Mississippi River and a slow, carfeul drive via interstate to…
Newswise — BUFFALO, N.Y. — Researchers from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center will present compelling findings showcasing significant benefits of resistance training for patients with multiple myeloma, in a talk at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. The study, led by Jens Hillengass, MD, PhD, and Janine Joseph, MS, MBA, presents new…
Newswise — Scientists have used a pair of lasers and a supersonic sheet of gas to accelerate electrons to high energies in less than a foot. The development marks a major step forward in laser plasma acceleration, a promising method for making compact, high-energy particle accelerators that could have applications in particle physics, medicine, and…
