As the world races to address the climate crisis, a coalition headquartered at Rice University is taking a radically collaborative approach to one of the toughest challenges: how to decarbonize industry while at the same time boosting manufacturing, improving infrastructure and securing the supply chains for the energy and materials we rely on every day.

Pulmonary embolism in children has been acknowledged to be an issue in clinical care but was thought to be rare. Now new research published at the ATS 2025 International Conference shows that it is much more common than previously understood.

Delirium is common in the ICU, and guidelines call for daily screening. Now a new study published at the ATS 2025 International Conference suggests that standard screening tests may result in the misclassification of the delirium status of Spanish-speaking patients. The research also shows that a Spanish-language screening tool that involves family caregivers outperforms conventional screening practices.

A mother’s exposure to air pollution during pregnancy can increase asthma risk in her adult offspring, according to a new mouse study published at the ATS 2025 International Conference. Researchers also found that offspring had lasting epigenetic changes affecting their lungs and immune response.A mother’s exposure to air pollution during pregnancy can increase asthma risk in her adult offspring, according to a new mouse study published at the ATS 2025 International Conference.

More than half of ICU survivors may experience Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), which involves new or worsening physical, psychological, or cognitive impairments after a critical illness. Now a new study published at the ATS 2025 International Conference finds that these patients experience long-term deficits in cognitive function and ability to perform daily activities.

Researchers at Tohoku University have achieved record-breaking energy efficiency for a high-speed memory storage device, called a SOT-MRAM cell.

A deep learning model was able to predict future lung cancer risk from a single low-dose chest CT scan, according to new research published at the ATS 2025 International Conference. 

Microplastics are ubiquitous in the environment, and we all routinely inhale these tiny pollutants. Now new research published at the ATS 2025 International Conference has found that inhaled microplastics suppress pulmonary macrophages, a type of white blood cell found in the lungs that are critical to the immune system.

Adding a team therapist to support nurses in critical care areas can reduce burnout and improve resiliency, according to research published at the ATS 2025 International Conference.

Premature infants are at risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or BPD, a type of lung injury associated with increased mortality. Now a new study published at the ATS 2025 International Conference shows that ciliary dynamics may play a role in the pathophysiology of this disease.
