The United States has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, with approximately 1.7 million individuals detained in jails or federal or state prisons. Chronic medical conditions are more prevalent among adults in custody than among their nonincarcerated counterparts, resulting in needs that often surpass the on-site medical treatment capabilities of carceral facilities.

- Rapid advancements in high-performance technologies, like EV batteries and AI systems, highlight the need for better thermal management solutions due to limitations of conventional phase change materials (PCMs).
- A new PCM made from polyethylene oxide (PEO) and lignin was developed, addressing issues like phase leakage and instability by creating a durable interlocked structure that withstands high temperatures (up to 115 °C).
- Testing shows that these lignin-modified PEO composites effectively absorb and release heat while maintaining their shape, making them a sustainable and efficient option for advanced thermal management, especially in battery thermal management systems (BTMSs).
A novel diphenyl-anthraquinone compound, cassuquinone A, was isolated from the rhizomes of Zingiber cassumunar. Structural elucidation was accomplished using detailed NMR and HRMS-ESI techniques, revealing a symmetrical anthraquinone core with methoxylated aromatic rings. Cassuquinone A exhibited potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with an IC₅₀ of 11.
