A common form of Acne is caused by a species of bacterium called Cutibacterium acnes. By using a predictive algorithm and structural analysis, the authors identified 5 small molecules with high affinity to growth factors in Catibacterium acnes. This has potential implications for supplemental skincare products.

UV-B radiation due to the depletion of ozone threatens plant life, potentially damaging ecosystems and dismantling food webs. Here, the impact of UV-B radiation on the physiology and morphology of Allum cepa, the common onion, was assessed. Mitosis vitality decreased, suggesting UV-B damage can influence the plant’s physiology.

The authors demonstrate computationally that two types of nanoplastics can bind to estrogen receptor beta and potentially disrupt endocrine systems.

The authors looked at the ability to use graphite from pencils in anodes of lithium-anode batteries.

The authors analyze differences in sports commentary between men's matches and women's matches during the 2023 US Open.

The authors assessed the atmospheric and oceanic parameters necessary for tidally-locked exoplanets to be habitable.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in social interactions. In this study, the authors tested if walking a dog will change human interactions and found that walking with a dog increased social interaction.

In this study, the authors send E. coli cultures to space via the Cubes in Space^TM program to determine if ultraviolet C and ionizing radiation negatively affect bacterial growth.

Climate change is one of the most controversial challenges humans face. Here the authors investigate the dual role of clouds - to reflect incoming light away from the Earth and to reflect heat energy back toward the Earth's surface. They find that the amount of incident light energy and surface temperature decreases as the sky becomes cloudier. These results will inform longer-term studies that may compare against the amount of energy clouds reflect back toward the Earth.

In the study, the authors looked at an environmentally friendly alternative to A/C systems/cooling. They wanted to test the effectiveness of this cooling system called the Eco-Cooler as well as see if they could improve it. They found that the Eco-Cooler had minimal cooling, while their altered Eco-Cooler system had some cooling. This results shows the use of water helps cool the environment a lot more.
