How can functionalized nanomaterials be engineered to selectively bind or degrade microplastics in biological or aquatic systems without introducing new toxicological concerns?
The growing burden of nano- and microplastics (NMPs) in biological tissues and aquatic systems is a pressing environmental and health concern. Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) like metal oxides, sulfides, carbon-based materials (e.g., graphene oxide), and polymer-based nanostructures offer potential as scavengers, sensors, or degraders of these pollutants. However, many challenges remain in designing nanomaterials that are both selective and safe for use in complex biological or ecological...

What is friccohesity chemistry and how is the friccohesity be measured?
The genesis of this question could be derived from a continuity between the cohesive forces expressed as surface tension and the adhesive or frictional forces operated as viscosity. The monolayer adhesion noted as monodispersion resonate the molecular energies generating the friccohesity resonating energy transfer (FRET) equipartitioning the interfacial energy to nanoformulate the quality products. The following books could be...

Rheumatoid Arthritis affects around 18 million people globally and has no known cure. DMARDs help control symptoms but don’t cure the disease. What traditional remedies are used for RA in your area?
Rheumatoid Arthritis is currently a globally prevalent condition, affecting around 18 million people, with no known curative treatment. Although Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) are widely used and often well-tolerated, they only control symptoms and progressions not cure the disease. In many communities, including mine, various traditional treatments such as herbal remedies with best outcome, have been tried. What traditional or community-based treatments have you seen or...

When turning at intersections, how difficult do you find it to detect pedestrians on the crosswalk? And how helpful do you think visual or sound warnings (like lights or beeps) would be?
Turning at intersections presents a common challenge for drivers, especially when pedestrians are crossing from the left or right side. Detecting pedestrians in these situations can be difficult due to blind spots, A-pillar obstruction, distractions, and poor visibility (e.g., nighttime, fog, or busy environments). To enhance safety, researchers and manufacturers are exploring pedestrian warning systems that use visual (e.g., LED lights) and auditory (e.g., beep sounds) alerts to help drivers...

How to examine for power of grip in a patient with weakness?
When we do clinical examination for weakness, power is ascertained by MRC grading. However, for grip, MRC grading cannot be used. Is there any method to examine hand grip power other than using dynamometer

How might AI-assisted peer review tools reshape scientific publishing, and what safeguards should be implemented to maintain review quality while addressing the increasing volume of submissions?
The peer-reviewing process is being faced with ever-growing challenges as submission rates are still rising exponentially in all areas. Journal editors are faced with the challenge of getting capable reviewers who are ready to volunteer their time, with a result being delays in reviewing, reviewer exhaustion, and worse, compromised quality. Meanwhile, AI technologies are accelerating their ability to review scientific manuscripts for methodology, statistical fitting, plagiarism screenings,...

Does insulin therapy activate the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1 that is critical for the prevention of insulin iresistance?
The anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1 is important to the prevention of accelerated aging and diabetes. Sirtuin 1 activators are critical to the treatment of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Sirtuin 1 inhibitors cause insulin resistance and reduce plasma Sirtuin 1 levels. Insulin therapy is critical to the treatment of diabetes and plasma Sirtuin 1 levels need to be measured with relevance to the treatment and prevention of insulin resistance. RELEVANT REFERENCES: 1. ...
Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
