A survey of 2,600 nurses and nursing students reveals a profession under severe strain, with widespread stress, burnout, and staffing shortages threatening both nurse well-being and patient care. Despite increased attention since the pandemic, little progress has been made, with 65% of nurses reporting high stress, 40% unsure they’d choose the profession again, and students already anxious about workload. Still, many students remain hopeful, and the profession is urgently calling for better staffing, leadership, flexibility and recognition.
In a landmark advance in microsensor technology, researchers have unveiled an ultra-sensitive gas detection method using surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors enhanced by the physics of exceptional points (EPs). These EPs, phenomena from non-Hermitian systems where eigenvalues and eigenvectors converge, allow for amplified signal response.
Those who climb indoors are doing something for their health. But climbing shoes contain chemicals of concern that can enter the lungs of climbers through the abrasion of the soles. In a recent study, researchers from the University of Vienna and EPFL Lausanne have shown for the first time that high concentrations of potentially harmful chemicals from climbing shoe soles can be found in the air of bouldering gyms, in some cases higher than on a busy street. The results have been published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology Air.
Thousands of hectares of Chornobyl-affected farmland, long deemed too dangerous for cultivation in northern Ukraine can safely return to production, according to new research.
روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا — اكتشف باحثون في مركز مايو كلينك للطب الفردي متغيرًا جينيًا نادرًا يمكنه أن يسبب بشكل مباشر مرض الكبد الدهني المرتبط بالخلل الأيضي، والذي عُرف سابقًا باسم مرض الكبد الدهني غير الكحولي.
The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (President Seog-Hyeon Ryu, hereinafter referred to as KIMM) has developed a compact, rapid pretreatment system capable of liquefying and homogenizing solid biological samples in under one minute. This innovation simplifies the analysis of specimens that are traditionally difficult to process, offering a new diagnostic platform that complements the predominantly liquid-based landscape of in vitro diagnostics (IVD).
Researchers found that exposure to sexist comments significantly alters how women interact emotionally during teamwork, increasing a key ingredient of successful collaboration: emotional synchrony. Emotional synchrony—shared, temporally aligned facial expressions among team members—has long been known to enhance trust, coordination, and performance.
