In this study, the authors use high-throughput virtual screening to design and evaluate a set of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors for binding affinity to the protein reverse transcriptase. These studies have important applications toward HIV therapies.

There is limited evidence that extended exposure to an electromagnetic field (EMF) has negative health effects on humans. The authors measured the power density and strength of EMF at different distances and directions in front of a microwave oven, and they discuss the safety of different distances.

Here the authors investigate the relationship between environmental pollutants and cancer incidence rates across various geographical clusters in the United States from 2018 to 2020. By calculating Pearson correlation coefficients and t-statistics on CDC and EPA data, they demonstrated a strong correlation between specific pollutants and various cancers, offering insights that could help explain regional disparities in cancer rates and aid in preventing premature deaths.

The authors monitored water quality over time looking for influences from construction and deforestation.

This study explores how different economic sectors, geographic regions, and greenhouse gas types might affect future global mean surface temperature (GMST) anomalies differently from historical patterns. Using the Finite Amplitude Impulse Response (FaIR) model and four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) — SSP126, SSP245, SSP370, and SSP585 — the research reveals that future contributions to GMST anomalies.

The authors investigate how well AI-detection machine learning models can detect real versus AI-generated art across different art styles.

In this study, the authors use aerosol optical depth data to determine if aerosol levels were lower in major metropolitan areas around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this study, the authors investigate the effects that flagella have on E. coli's ability to adhere to glass surfaces.

This study investigated how 18 commonly used cosmetic products affect the growth of two skin-resident bacteria, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Micrococcus luteus. At higher concentrations, half of the tested products inhibited at least one bacterial species, suggesting that some cosmetics may disrupt the skin microbiome and its natural balance.

This study analyzes over two decades of monitoring data (1999-2022) to investigate how legacy mining, reservoir water releases, and dredging activities influence toxic methylmercury (MeHg) levels in San Francisco Bay. The findings reveal a significant delayed correlation between river flow and San Francisco Bay MeHg, and counter to the authors' hypothesis, a strong association between increased MeHg concentrations in the bay and both total annual dredging volume and beneficial sediment reuse / upland sediment disposal.
