But college students—who are particularly vulnerable to substance use problems and related mental health crises—appear disinclined to use it, according to new research published in the Journal of Addiction & Offender Counseling. …

February 12, 20242min readVery young children’s developing immune systems respond to the COVID-causing virus SARS-CoV-2 very differently than do those of adultsBy Simon Makin Many infectious diseases are deadly for both the very old and the very young. But thankfully, the COVID-causing SARS-CoV-2 virus rarely triggers serious illness in infants. Scientists have several theories as to why. For example, some evidence suggests babies' immature immune systems—which lack the more targeted (or “adaptive”) responses that…

Researchers at the University of Zurich and Spexis have re-engineered the chemical structure of a natural peptide, thanatin, to develop a new class of antibiotics capable of combating resistant bacteria. The synthetic peptides have demonstrated effectiveness, safety, and resistance to bacterial immunity in mice tests, bringing the potential for a new type of antibiotic that can combat resistant strains.There’s a pressing demand for fresh antibiotics among healthcare experts to combat resistant bacteria. A team of…

An Oxford University study has found that multiple pathogen clones in patients lead to faster antimicrobial resistance (AMR), rather than the evolution of new resistance mutations in a single strain, challenging traditional AMR perspectives. The study proposes that interventions focusing on preventing bacteria spread could more effectively combat AMR.Findings challenge the traditional view that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) emerges from pathogens that acquire new mutationsSamples from ICU patients suggest that instead,…

Recent rumors suggested that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 could include an IP58 rating. In other words, be both water and dust resistant, which would be a first for the Galaxy Z Fold series. Well, based on the latest info, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 won’t offer dust resistance after all. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 won’t offer dust resistance after all This information comes from a well-known tipster, Ice Universe. He flat-out said that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 won’t offer an IP58 certification for dust resistance. He did not clarify what rating…

Apple will reportedly bring scratch resistance feature to future iPhones. A patent for "Spatial Composites", which refers to integrating metal or ceramic with a chassis for scratch resistance, has recently been issued to the company, reports AppleInsider. "(Mobile) phones, watches, and tablet computers, can experience contact with various surfaces that leads to marring, or abrasion, of the surface of the device," the iPhone maker said. "(Regular housing) materials for such devices may have different…

Apple has been granted a patent for technology that will allow the company to build smartphones and mobile devices such as tablets, that are resistant to scratches and abrasion. Most smartphones today, including recent iPhone models, feature rear panels that are made out of plastic or glass, with a metal or plastic frame. These materials offer varying levels of durability, scratch resistance, and electromagnetic shielding. Apple's newly granted patent could lead to the creation of a new material that combines metal and…

While antibiotic-resistant bacteria are on the rise, you might have thought that the potentially deadly bugs would be found mostly in the places where people and other animals congregate: namely, the surface of the Earth. But researchers from Canada and France have found them in a most remarkable place.Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and fungi are responsible for killing at least 1.27 million people worldwide every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Fighting these superbugs is getting…

Power supply experts BLUETTI has broken new ground with the water and dust resistant AC60 and B80. With up to 2,015wh of expanded power, it bring energy to never before seen terrain of beaches, snowy mountains, or crowded tents with messy kids. While many power supplies are plug-and-play, not many of them are as care-free and trusted as the new AC60 and B80 from BLUETTI. In an industry that sees products growing ever larger BLUETTI has been innovating with stellar power supply products with user…
