The availability of a poetry tutor prompts inexperienced writers to explore deeply emotional themes
The study developed Loving Words, a free AI-powered poetry tutor designed to help writers improve their poetry and experience its therapeutic benefits. Two groups of participants wrote poems—one without assistance and one using Loving Words.

Fire detection using subterranean soil sensors
The authors looked at how soil temperature changes with fire to develop a sensor system that could aid in earlier detection of fires.

The authors looked at how storage temperature of potatoes can impact the sweetness of potatoes (due to the break down of the starch into simple sugars).

The authors looked at beach nourishment (a way to combat erosion on coasts) and resulting grain size distribution. Their work is important to understand the dynamics of erosion and it's relation to wave action and the implications this has for efforts to mitigate coastal erosion.

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.

Due to a critical shortage of donor hearts, researchers are exploring cardiac xenotransplantation—transplanting animal hearts into humans—as a potential solution. This study synthesized nearly two decades of preclinical research to evaluate multiple factors affecting xenograft survival.

Here the authors hypothesized that reducing folliculin (FLCN) might affect p62 protein levels in the dorsal hippocampus of mice, given their potential functional connection and p62's role in neurodegenerative diseases. Their study, using western blots and a two-way ANOVA on young wild-type mice, found that p62 levels correlated with FLCN expression, but ultimately concluded there's no evidence of a functional connection between FLCN and p62 in this specific model.
