Your choice of font can impact more than style. Here the authors demonstrate that font choice can affect the amount of ink a given print-out requires. The authors estimate that a switch to Garamond font, size 12, by all teachers in his school district would save almost $21,000 annually.

The authors looked at how the focus of someone's attention impacted what information was retained in their working memory.

The authors looked at the ability subjects to rotation a 4D cube and how the ability to practice cube rotation impact their ability to understand 4D space.

This study explored the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods to detect native Hawaiian decapod species (‘opae), which are difficult to observe manually due to their low density.

This study investigated the impact of pH on the efficiency of calcium phosphate, used as a drug delivery agent.

The authors compare air quality in the presence and absence of a living wall in a high school hallway in Brooklyn, NY.

The authors looked at soil quality of former military sites where chemical disposal was known to have occurred. Along with testing for heavy metals, the authors also looked for the presence (and number) of earthworms present in topsoil samples as a marker of soil health.

In this article the authors look at phantom loads of common kitchen appliances and found that the appliances looked at have a phantom load of 10.9%. Understanding phantom loads is important as it can reduce energy grid usage and energy bill costs for homeowners.

Here the authors sought to understand the effects of different variables that may be tied to pollution and climate change on genetic variation of Pacific white-sided dolphins, a species that is currently threatened by water pollution. Based on environmental data collected alongside a genetic distance matrix, they found that ocean currents had the most significant impact on the genetic diversity of Pacific white-sided dolphins along the Japanese coast.

A key barrier to adoption of solar energy technology is the low efficiency of solar cells converting solar energy into electricity. Sims and Sims tackle this problem by coding a Raspberry Pi as a multimeter to determine which wavelength of light generates the most voltage and current from a solar panel.
