The idea that big cities boost business efficiency is not new. However, the specific impact of crowded urban areas on the productivity of businesses within them is less clear. This is a gap that needs filling. It is time to explore how the sheer number of people in a city affects the overall prod
The moon has always been a big deal, and recently, two spacecraft set off from Florida to make their mark on the lunar surface. One of them, Blue Ghost, made it there in just a few months and even managed to land upright, which was a big win. The other spacecraft, Resilience, is taking the scenic ro
Antibiotics are vital in animal farming to fight bacterial infections. However, they also contribute to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This is a big problem. Farmers must find ways to reduce the spread of antibiotic residues and AMR among animals. One key issue is how antibiotics move from treated
Superwettability is a game-changer in the world of catalysts. It boosts how well catalysts work in reactions that involve multiple phases, like liquids and gases. This is because superwettability improves how reactants move around and how products leave the catalyst. The main goal of superwettabili
The world of DNA is full of mysteries. One of those mysteries is methylation. Methylation is a process where a methyl group is added to DNA. This can change how genes are read and expressed. Scientists have found a way to spot these changes using tiny, natural pores. These pores are found in a prote
The world of optical communication is buzzing with a new discovery. It is about changing the way light behaves as it travels. This isn't just about making light go faster or slower. It's about changing how light waves interact with each other. This interaction can create unique patterns of polar
Metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, are like superheroes in the world of materials science. They have a massive surface area, lots of active sites, and a neat structure. This makes them perfect for creating other useful materials. But, using them alone isn't enough anymore. So, scientists cooked up a
Fengycin is a natural substance produced by a type of bacteria called Bacillus. This substance is known for its ability to fight off plant diseases. It is a strong alternative to chemical antibiotics. This is because fengycin is effective, safe, and breaks down easily in the environment. These quali
The world of food safety is buzzing with a new discovery. Probiotics are known for their health benefits. But did you know that they can also help keep food fresh? The secret lies in tiny bubbles called extracellular vesicles or EVs. These bubbles can be used to deliver preservatives. This is a
Lactate is often seen as a byproduct of glycolysis. It builds up in muscle tissue after an animal is slaughtered. However, its impact on protein regulation through a process called lactylation is not well understood in the world of meat science. A recent investigation dug into how lactylation affect
