Patients who are unresponsive to 4–8 weeks' treatment with PPIs twice daily might have so-called refractory GERD. The first investigation these patients should undergo is upper endoscopy to ...

But he couldn’t predict how swiftly this vision would materialize—or just how transformative its applications would prove to be. Diffusion generation process for a stable crystalline material having a ...

A research team led by scientists at Northwestern University has developed the first-ever two-dimensional mechanically interlocked material with high flexibility and strength. In the future ...

Materials innovation is one of the key drivers of major technological breakthroughs. The discovery of lithium cobalt oxide in the 1980s laid the groundwork for today’s lithium-ion battery technology.

Rethinking Materials and Kraft Heinz are challenging start-ups worldwide to develop new and more sustainable packaging. The competition seeks flexible food packaging solutions that are either ...

UDRI Advanced High-Temperature Materials researchers engage in the characterization, life prediction, and testing of ceramic and refractory materials. We can evaluate the strength, fracture, fatigue, ...

A new study examines ways that carbon could be used as a key ingredient in building materials—particularly biomass plastics and cement. Obstacles still remain, as some of these technologies are ...

[1] While phthalates are not authorized as food additives, they have been shown to migrate to food and beverages from even non-PVC food contact materials, according to an article from the Food ...

But that magnetism can only occur in a system that lacks a specific symmetry—one that the team's new material should have had. "So the fact that we saw this was very puzzling. We didn't really ...

In 2024, superconductivity—the flow of electric current with zero resistance—was discovered in three distinct materials. Two instances stretch the textbook understanding of the phenomenon.

Construction materials such as concrete and plastic have the potential to lock away billions of tons of carbon dioxide, according to a new study by civil engineers and Earth systems scientists at the ...
