What do we do against the spread of viral misinformation?

Study of vaccine-related Facebook ads reveals ongoing challenges to public health In a year that has seen the largest measles outbreak in the US in more than two decades, the role of social media in giving a platform to unscientific anti-vaccine messages and organizations has become a flashpoint. In the first study of public health-related

Room temperature superconductivity takes a major step forward

Findings Could Open the Door to a New Era of Physics Researchers at the George Washington University have taken a major step toward reaching one of the most sought-after goals in physics: room temperature superconductivity. Superconductivity is the lack of electrical resistance and is observed in many materials when they are cooled below a critical

A ban on widely used insecticides is called for by leading researchers

Use of organophosphates has lessened, but risks to early brain development still too high Public health experts have found there is sufficient evidence that prenatal exposure to widely used insecticides known as organophosphates puts children at risk for neurodevelopmental disorders. In a scientific review and call to action published in PLOS Medicine, the researchers call for

Single treatment option for cystic fibrosis patients corrects genetic and tissue defects and significantly reduces inflammation

American and European researchers publish study in Nature Medicine reporting a new, single treatment option for cystic fibrosis patients Researchers from the George Washington University (GW), the University of Perugia, and the University of Rome have discovered a potential new drug to treat and stop the progression of cystic fibrosis. Thymosin ?1 (T?1) is a

How to make electric vehicles that actually reduce carbon

An interdisciplinary team of scientists has worked out a way to make electric vehicles that only are not only carbon neutral but carbon negative, capable of actually reducing the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide as they operate. They have done so by demonstrating how the graphite electrodes used in the lithium-ion batteries that power electric

‘Diamonds from the sky’ approach turns CO2 into valuable products

Finding a technology to shift carbon dioxide, the most abundant anthropogenic greenhouse gas, from a climate change problem to a valuable commodity has long been a dream. Now, a team of chemists says they have developed a technology to economically convert atmospheric CO2 directly into highly valued carbon nanofibers for industrial and consumer products. “We

Building a Machine to Mimic What Sea Lions Naturally Do – Moving Without Creating a Wake

GW Professor Designs Robotic Foreflipper That Mimics Mammal’s Movement, Hoping it Will Aid Mechanical Innovation in Intelligence Community At a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour, sea lions may not be the fastest-swimming mammal in the sea. But they are unrivaled when it comes to stealth—their signature clap-and-glide flipper motion propels them through water
