The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Behind the Paper: Super-Resolution Stimulated X-ray Raman Spectroscopy
We harnessed the noise inherent in typical self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses to demonstrate a nonlinear x-ray spectroscopic tool that circumvents instrumental resolution and beats the Fourier-limit by employing advanced correlation techniques.
Silent influencer: How non-antibiotics tip the microbial balance of the gut microbiome
Some human-targeted drugs can alter gut microbes, creating a favorable environment for pathogens like Salmonella to thrive.
Trajectory-based global sensitivity analysis in multiscale models
Introducing a novel global sensitivity analysis (GSA) framework for agent-based models (ABMs) that addresses their unique features. This method enhances understanding of complex dynamics and supports informed decision-making in model development. Read the full paper here.
Chemical and non-chemical stressors in population health: characterizing joint effects of air quality and social stressors on birth weight in a major city
This study examines the interaction between traffic-related air pollution and social stressors on birth weight, highlighting the complex relationships observed among specific stressors - particuarly violence -within New York City.
Brazil Faces a Growing Health and Economic Burden from Heat: New Research Calls for Urgent Action
This study presents the first nationwide projection of heat-related hospitalisations and economic losses in Brazil, using real hospital and climate data to quantify the growing burden and highlight the urgent need for climate adaptation.
