Phys.org / 'Learning recession' in US schools predates pandemic: Report
A new analysis of student test scores reveals that American schools were in a "learning recession" for seven years before the COVID-19 pandemic, with student test scores in math and reading on a steady decline since 2013. ...
Tech Xplore / EV charging simulation model could help cities manage electric vehicle charging demands
As electric vehicles become more common, cities are facing the new and increasingly complex task of managing when and where drivers plug in. Concordia researchers have developed a new tool that offers a clearer picture of ...
Dialog / Novel technique measures polymer degradation during cathodic overprotection
Oil and natural gas are vital constituents of our energy ecosystem that need to be transported across long distances. Although steel pipelines are the infrastructure used for this purpose, thereby serving as the lifeline ...
Medical Xpress / Successfully treated acute myeloid leukemia patients may hold the key to new CAR T cell therapy
Developing effective immunotherapies for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has long been hampered by a critical challenge: Therapy directed at killing the leukemia cells may also harm the body's ability to make new, healthy blood ...
Phys.org / How winds above Tibet quietly replenish water for nearly 2 billion people
The "Asian Water Towers" (AWTs), a high-altitude region with a mean elevation exceeding 4,000 meters, serve as the primary freshwater source for nearly 2 billion people. While the Indian summer monsoon is well known for shaping ...
Medical Xpress / No refrigeration needed for next-gen malaria vaccine
Malaria is a deadly disease killing more than half a million people every year, but a new vaccine is showing promise as it not only offers long-lasting strong protection but also inhibits transmission of malaria by mosquitoes. ...
Phys.org / Scientists dispute hypothesis that climate change will unleash massive agricultural pest populations
