This paper looks at using spent coffee grounds as a partial substitute for titanium dioxide (TiO₂) as a catalyst for chemical reactions. Using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, they found that adding the coffee grounds to TiO₂ in a 3:1 ratio, there is still meaningful catalytic activity. This offers a cheaper solution than just using pure TiO₂.

The authors looked at energy efficient ways to generate small nitrogenous compounds.

The authors examined the impact of mutations to CDK2 on protein expression.

Investigation of the potential of waxworm saliva, the secretion of Galleria mellonella, for plastic degradation.

The authors looked at different factors that influence specific gravity in beverages, including sweetener used, caffeine, carbonation, and sodium.

The authors looked at the immunogenicity of a newly developed pneumococcal conjugate vaccine compared to a previously developed one. They found the newly developed vaccine did elicit an immune response.

The authors combine fine needle aspiration biopsy and machine learning algorithms to develop a breast cancer detection method suitable for resource-constrained regions that lack access to mammograms.

Arrhythmias vary in type and treatment, and ECGs are used to detect them, though human interpretation can be inconsistent. The researchers tested four tree-based algorithms (gradient boosting, random forest, decision tree, and extra trees) on ECG data from over 10,000 patients.

Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) benefits from increased precision and faster recovery, with force feedback from the surgical tool being critical for control. Researchers tested the use of neural networks for detecting the vanishing point of the tool, a key element for force feedback.

Aquaponics (the combination of aquatic plant farming with fish production) is an innovative farming practice, but the fish that are typically used, like tilapia, are expensive and space-consuming to cultivate. Medina and Alvarez explore other options test if mosquitofish are a viable option in the aquaponic cultivation of herbs and microgreens.
