Deerfield Group has launched software designed to help pharmaceutical brands’ marketing teams keep their salespeople on message. Deerfield, a Pennsylvania-based marketing, communications and media agency, said it developed the software to solve a persistent problem facing sales and marketing teams. Life sciences companies want to give their field teams the flexibility to personalize customer interactions, but they need to maintain brand consistency and compliance. The agency is pitching a product called Prismatiq as a way for brand marketing teams to centralize approved content and deploy it to field teams with built-in guardrails. Your team can see which assets your sales…

Scientists have developed a new type of nanoelectronic device that can significantly reduce the energy consumed by artificial intelligence systems. This innovation works by copying the way the human brain processes information, providing a more efficient alternative to today’s power-hungry AI hardware. A research team led by the University of Cambridge has developed an improved version of hafnium oxide that acts as a highly stable, low-energy ‘memristor’. The memristor is a component designed to replicate how neurons connect and communicate in the brain. Their findings were published in the magazine scientific progress. Why current AI systems use so much energy…

A simple home-based exercise program may help combat “chemical brain,” but adding ibuprofen does not improve effectiveness and may even complicate memory results, highlighting the need for larger trials. Study: Phase 2 trial of exercise and low-dose ibuprofen for cancer-related cognitive impairment in patients receiving chemotherapy. Image credit: Pixel-Shot/Shutterstock.com Preliminary findings suggest that exercise and low-dose ibuprofen alone, but not in combination, may improve some aspects of cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) in patients receiving chemotherapy. The paper was published in a magazine cancer. Chemotherapy-related cognitive decline associated with inflammatory processes CRCI affects up to 80% of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy,…

Katie McCormick was working at H&M when she started wondering where the clothes she was lining the floor with ended up going. As the issue of textile waste began to bother her, she began shopping at local thrift stores.”As I had just graduated from university and had an entry-level job, buying ethically sourced and made clothes was expensive,” she said.Then she started striking gold. Microplastic fibers are found in water samples taken from Shem Creek. The black rectangle is approximately 3.1 mm x 3.1 mm.

Democrats on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee are objecting to the Energy Department’s proposal to divert money from solar and wind power while keeping fossil fuel plants open beyond their retirement date. During the April 21 hearing on the fiscal year 2027 budget, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) strongly disagreed with Secretary Chris Wright’s prioritization of fossil fuel plants over clean technologies. “We liked the fact that we had a clean energy tax credit role (for wind and solar) and the private sector was technology neutral,” Wyden said. “They were voluntary, there was no mandate. You ripped it out…

Far below the Earth’s surface, slow convection currents swirl within the mantle. These flows are closely related to the movement of tectonic plates and do more than just move the plate above. The mantle material itself also stretches and deforms. New research published in Earthquake record The results show that much of this deformation in the deepest parts of the mantle is occurring in areas where scientists believe ancient tectonic slabs have sunk over millions of years. Earth map reveals deformation near the core Scientists have long suspected a link between deep mantle deformation and these buried slabs, but this…

Ohio is a notoriously difficult state to build renewable energy. Many counties have outright bans on wind and solar power generation, but even in those that don’t, state regulators often rely on local opposition to deny permits to developers. Fossil fuel companies, on the other hand, don’t face these hurdles. This contradiction is underscored by the fact that plans to build two hydraulic fracturing waste wells in rural Washington County, Ohio, are moving forward despite opposition from residents, environmental groups, and neighboring town governments. DeepRock Disposal Solutions aims to take advantage of these deep holes in the earth to force…

A minimally invasive outpatient procedure may help people avoid weight rebound after stopping popular drugs like Ozempic and semaglutide, according to a study presented at Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2026. About 70% of people who stop taking these drugs eventually regain much of the weight they lost, often within 18 months. Nearly one in five obese adults uses glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), highlighting the scale of this challenge. Researchers report the first blinded, randomized, sham-controlled evidence that a procedure called duodenal mucosal resurfacing may provide a safe and durable way to maintain weight loss without continuing medication. The study results suggest…

TThe poor and middle class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the very rich pay lawyers, and the super rich pay politicians. This is not an original statement, but it’s worth repeating until everyone has heard it. The more money billionaires accumulate, the more control they have over the political system. That means billionaires will pay less taxes and accumulate more money, increasing their control.They rebuild the world to suit their needs. One of the symptoms of the pathology known as “billionaire brain” is an inability to see beyond one’s own short-term interests. They will plunder the earth to get…

Scientists have created a thin plastic film that can physically destroy the virus the moment it lands on a surface. This breakthrough could help reduce the spread of disease from frequently touched items such as smartphones, keyboards, and hospital equipment. Beyond its effectiveness, this material is designed to be practical for practical use. Unlike previous antiviral surfaces made of metal or silicone, this new approach uses a flexible plastic that can be produced at scale. How nanopillars tear apart viruses This film is made of acrylic and is covered with very small structures called nanopillars. These tiny features grab onto…
