MOF-5 and other metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit semiconductor behavior, particularly when exposed to light, leading to charge separation between electrons and holes. This property makes MOFs promising materials for applications in optoelectronics, photocatalysis, and superconducting material...

Approximately 17 million animals die each year because of wildfires and those that survive are heavily affected by them. These fires release very fine ash particles into the air which are the most impactful on an animal’s health, such as breathing. The effect of ash on freshwater ...

Pathogens that can develop resistance to antimicrobial treatments has become a phenomenon extensively recorded over the last few years. Pathogens including Escherichia coli are dangerous to humans and are capable of resisting a variety of treatments. Treatments using clove (Syzygium aromaticum) esse...

Approximately 95,000 cases of E. coli related food poisoning are reported in the U.S. each year. The purpose of this study is to improve the effectiveness of the antibiotic Neosporin against bacteria by supplementing it with the polyphenol resveratrol. There is a great deal of information about the ...

Ever since the scientific community has identified increasing levels of global warming, the necessity for public education and awareness has become apparent. While individual efforts to mitigate climate change may seem fruitless, they are a crucial parameter to measure interest in and compassion for...

Vitamin A, not naturally produced by the body, undergoes a series of metabolic steps to become retinyl esters, which are then stored and activated in the liver. Before being stored as retinyl ester in HSCs (hepatic stellate cells), though, the liver receives retinol bound to chylomicrons from the in...

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a solar cell technology that utilizes organic materials, such as polymers or small molecules, to generate electricity from sunlight. Unlike conventional silicon-based solar panels, OPVs are constructed from carbon-based materials. These solar cells consist of layers ...

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disease which affects more than six million Americans. Although the etiology of AD is unclear, studies suggest alcohol consumption as a risk factor for dementia requiring neurologists’ aid. The prevalence of binge drinking wor...

Wifi serves as a vital tool to connect people around the world. This experiment was done to test different materials and their effect on wifi signals. It was hypothesized that the conductors of electricity will attenuate wifi signals more than the insulators of electricity. I gathered common househo...

In the United States, presidential elections are very important events and typically have widespread implications on many things in society. The economy is no exception, with the economy often being a highly central topic in the campaign of any primary or presidential candidate. They often promote t...
