Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) exhibit excellent catalytic performance due to their unique two-dimensional (2D) layered structure, adjustable chemical composition, and tunable interlayer ion types and contents. However, when employed as a catalyst, LDH materials still suffer from several drawbacks, such as poor electrical conductivity and a tendency to agglomerate. To further improve their catalytic performance, a variety of effective modification strategies have been adopted, including electronic structure modulation, morphological control, and interface engineering.

 

A research team has mapped how artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape cardiac arrest care, from early warning and emergency response to cardiopulmonary resuscitation and recovery after survival. By reviewing 114 studies involving more than 9.57 million patients, the study shows that artificial intelligence is most often used to predict cardiac arrest, guide resuscitation decisions, and estimate post-arrest outcomes. The findings suggest that artificial intelligence could become a practical tool for identifying high-risk patients earlier, supporting time-critical decisions during resuscitation, and improving post-arrest care, while also highlighting the need for stronger real-world validation before these tools can be widely adopted in emergency medicine.

A research team led by Drs. Byung-Yong Yu and Gwan-Ho Lee at the Advanced Analysis and Data Center of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST; President Sang-Rok Oh) announced that it has developed a new analytical platform that can precisely measure the accumulation of fine particulate matter in individual organs, overcoming the limitations of existing analytical technologies.

New study suggests using human urine as a fertiliser could significantly boost sustainable agriculture – but key health risks and knowledge gaps must be addressed before it could be widely adopted.

Researchers publishing in Computational Biomedicine have developed a novel artificial intelligence framework that improves epileptic seizure prediction by combining bidirectional long short-term memory networks with a channel attention mechanism. The study highlights how interpretable deep learning models may help identify critical preictal EEG patterns and support the development of more reliable seizure prediction systems.Researchers publishing in Computational Biomedicine have developed a novel artificial intelligence framework that improves epileptic seizure prediction by combining bidirectional long short-term memory networks with a channel attention mechanism.

A study finds that “preparing” biochar through composting can make it far more effective for improving soil fertility and boosting plant growth.

A study has captured, in real time and in three dimensions, how a single piece of biomass changes as it is heated into biochar, offering fresh clues for designing more effective carbon materials for water cleanup, soil improvement, catalysis, and climate-related applications.

A new study outlines a comprehensive framework leveraging AI and big data to combat illegal plant trade, addressing global biodiversity threats with technological innovation.
