Continuous directionally biased 360° rotation about a covalent single bond was recently realized in the form of a chemically fueled 1-phenylpyrrole 2,2'-dicarboxylic acid rotary molecular motor. However, the original fueling system and reaction conditions resulted in a motor directionality of only ∼3:1 (i.e.

- A study analyzed childbirth outcomes in male adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer, identifying a sample of nearly 43,000 cases over a 20-year period.
- The research found that 18% of these AYAs had live births within ten years post-diagnosis, with higher rates observed in those with thyroid cancer compared to gastrointestinal cancer.
- Results indicated increased chances of preterm birth and low birth weight among offspring of male AYAs with cancer, emphasizing the need for reproductive counseling for this group.
Corn (Zea mays L.) is the top grain crop by hectares grown in Delaware (DE). Increased pre- and post-emergence damping-off in corn caused by Pythium species have been observed in recent seasons.

A metal-contaminated alluvial mine tailing, devoid of vegetation, received 224 Mg ha of both lime and biosolids in 1998, and long-term reclamation success was quantified in 2019 with respect to soils, plants, and linkages to animals. Reclamation success was quantified using the Soil Management Assessment Framework (SMAF), in conjunction with bioavailable (0.
