Oil spills are one of the most devastating events for marine life. Finding ways to clean up oil spills without the need for harsh chemicals could help decrease the negative impact of such spills. Here the authors demonstrate that using a combination of several biodegradable substances can effectively adsorb oil in seawater in a laboratory setting. They suggest further exploring the potential of such a combination as a possible alternative to commonly-used non-biodegradable substances in oil spill management.

The authors survey adults to assess how childhood adversity may impact adult relationships and ways of giving or receiving affection.
Read More...Gender differences in social media, sleep, and cognition in U.S. teens
The authors survey teenagers within the United States regarding the effect of social media use on sleep quality and attention span.
Read More...Stress-induced genetic memory inheritance and retention in Planarian biological model
This study explored whether planaria, known for their regenerative abilities, can retain learned memories after regeneration and how stressors like alcohol affect memory.
Read More...Predictive modeling of cardiovascular disease using exercise-based electrocardiography
The authors looked factors that could lead to earlier diagnosis of cardiovascular disease thereby improving patient outcomes. They found that advances in imaging and electrocardiography contribute to earlier detection of cardiovascular disease.
Read More...Implication of education levels on gender wage gap across states in the United States and Puerto Rico
Here the authors examined the relationship between education levels and the gender wage gap (GWG) in the US and Puerto Rico from 2010 to 2022, hypothesizing that higher education would correlate with a lower GWG. Their analysis of income data revealed an inverse correlation, where higher education levels were associated with reduced gender wage disparities, suggesting that policies aimed at closing the gender gap in higher education could promote socioeconomic equality.
