Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Pain around the world
A study on whether and how pain varies across key demographic groups and across 22 countries worldwide.
Unlocking Early Alzheimer's Diagnosis: A New Method Based on Advanced Imaging and Visual Feature Recognition
Detecting Alzheimer's early is vital. Our new method uses brain scans (DTI) and visual feature recognition (SURF/SIFT) to spot subtle changes linked to AD, offering hope for earlier diagnosis.
Enhancing dielectric permittivity in barium ferrite: a novel material for energy storage and advanced electronics applications
Our team investigated BaZn₁₊ₓMnₓFe₁₂₋₂ₓO₁₉ ceramics and uncovered remarkable dielectric behavior, thermal stability, and permittivity—key for applications in supercapacitors, RAMs, and high-frequency capacitors.
Rhizosphere viruses - just how powerful are they in mediating microbial arsenic metabolism?
Rhizosphere viruses mediate arsenic (As) biogeochemistry by promoting lysogeny in As-oxidizing microbes. Metagenomics, metabolic modeling, and in vitro experiments estimate rhizosphere lysogenic viruses contribute to up to 25% of microbial As oxidation.
