Researchers have produced triboelectric nanogenerators with laser-induced graphene. The flexible devices turn movement into electrical energy and could enable wearable, self-powered sensors and devices.
Certain antidepressants could provide treatment for multiple infectious diseases
Some antidepressants could potentially be used to treat a wide range of diseases caused by bacteria living within cells, according to researchers.

These parasites of deer — which occasionally bite humans — are more widely distributed across the US than previously thought, according to entomologists, who caution that deer keds may transmit disease-causing bacteria.
Native plant species may be at greater risk from climate change than non-natives
Warming temperatures affect native and non-native flowering plants differently, which could change the look of local landscapes over time, according to new research.
Community impacts from extreme weather shape climate beliefs
A new study finds that how our community or neighborhood fares in an extreme storm or flood may have a stronger, more lasting effect on climate beliefs than individual losses do.

The beer’s name alludes to the heritage of its contents, as all of the hops and barley used in the beer are harvested within 300 miles of their brewhouse. Now, Goose Island, […]
How the enzyme lipoxygenase drives heart failure after heart attacks
Heart failure after a heart attack is a global epidemic leading to heart failure pathology. Medical researchers are seeking ways to delay or reverse this heart failure, which comes from non-resolved chronic inflammation.
How habitat loss can destabilize ecosystems
An international study has revealed new evidence to help understand the consequences of habitat loss on natural communities.
Racism has a toxic effect
Researchers have long known that racism is linked to health problems, but now results from a small study using RNA tests show that racism appears to increase chronic inflammation among African Americans.
