New spectrometer helps identify alternative catalyst materials for affordable hydrogen fuel cells

April 11, 2024

New spectrometer helps identify alternative catalyst materials for affordable hydrogen fuel cells. Fuel cells are quickly becoming a viable, clean energy alternative to commonly used fossil fuels, such as gasoline, coal, and oil. Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy resources that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Assessing perceived stress, sleep disturbance, and fatigue among pilot and non-pilot trainees

April 5, 2024

In this study, we conduct an extensive analysis to address a fundamental question: how do stress, sleep disturbance, and fatigue experiences differ between pilots and non-pilot college students? Delving into stress and fatigue levels within these populations contributes to understanding these phenomena and their potential implications for overall well-being and performance.
