This study investigates PFAS contamination in Santa Clarita groundwater, focusing on potential sources. The study employs statistical analysis to assess data quality and trends which allowed them to identified domestic waste, fire extinguisher materials, and food packaging as the most likely sources of contamination.

The authors looked at which measurements from the NFL combine were the most predictive of success for defensemen in the NFL.
Read More...Assessing the accuracy and efficiency of simplified gridded ion thruster simulations
The authors used a particle-in-cell simulation to determine the effects on extensive and intensive metrics. They found that preliminary simulations could be run quickly with much lower particle counts before more technically demanding and comprehensive simulations are performed.
Read More...AI-designed mini-protein targeting claudin-5 to enhance blood–brain barrier integrity
The authors employ computational protein design to identify a mini-protein with the potential to enhance binding of the tight junction protein, claudin-5, at the blood-blood barrier with therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases.

Enhanced soil fertility through seaweed-derived biochar: A comparative analysis with commercial fertilizers
The study explored converting Gracilaria seaweed waste—known for releasing toxic hydrogen sulfide when decomposed—into biochar as a sustainable solution for waste management and soil improvement.
Read More...Using heptane to extract almond oil
The authors looked at different strategies to extract oil from almonds to determine which gave the best results.
Read More...Predicting and explaining illicit financial flows in developing countries: A machine learning approach
The authors looked at the ability of different machine learning algorithms to predict the level of financial corruption in different countries.
Read More...The relationship between multilingualism and visual imagery: Investigating aphantasia using the VVIQ
The authors looked at the correlation between being able to speak more than one language (multilingualism) and visual imagery. They found multilingual individuals had higher visual imagery as measured by the VVIQ.
