This article investigates whether induction heating can speed up static recrystallization in AISI 4130 steel compared with traditional radiant heating. It was found that induction-heated samples recrystallized faster, softened more quickly, and showed earlier microstructural changes like grain nucleation and pearlite spheroidization, suggesting induction heating could be a more efficient alternative for industrial metal heat treatments.

α-amylase breaks down starch into glucose, which can cause blood sugar spikes and increase the risk of type II diabetes. This study tested natural extracts from cassia cinnamon and green tea as alternatives to synthetic inhibitors like acarbose, which can be costly and cause side effects.

Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health threat, and one strategy to combat it is using bacteriophages to enhance the effectiveness of existing antibiotics. This study tested whether targeting the TolC protein in E. coli with the TLS bacteriophage would increase bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics.
