The way CO2 moves through oil reservoirs is key to boosting oil recovery and storing CO2. This process, known as immiscible CO2 flooding, is simple and cost-effective. But, there is a lack of understanding of how it behaves at the tiny pore scale, especially when temperature and pressure change toge
The gut is a hotbed of activity, teeming with microbes that play a crucial role in overall health. When the immune system is suppressed, it can throw a wrench into the body's metabolism, hormones, and general functioning. This disruption is often linked to changes in gut bacteria, but the exact conn
The release of radioactive water from Fukushima into the ocean has sparked fresh worries. The study of this issue involves understanding how this water travels and its potential effects on marine life and the environment. The movement of this contaminated water is influenced by various ocean curren
The ocean floor is home to many fish species. Some live in very deep waters. A recent experiment looked at how these deep-sea fish react to loud noises. This was done along the eastern coast of Canada. The noise came from a commercial seismic survey. It lasted for 100 days straight. The survey used
Canada is known for its strong investment in innovation. Yet, it struggles to convert that investment into tangible results. This is especially true in the crop agriculture sector. The country ranks high in innovation spending but lags in actual outputs. One major hurdle is the heavy regulatory burd
The journey to the International Space Station (ISS) can be unpredictable. The Starliner spacecraft encountered significant issues during its flight last summer. Four of its thrusters failed, leaving astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams in a tough spot. Wilmore had to take manual control, but
In the vast, icy reaches of the Bellingshausen Sea, a unique event unfolded. In January 2025, a colossal iceberg, roughly the size of Chicago, detached from the George VI Ice Shelf. This wasn't just any iceberg; it was a natural curtain lifting to reveal a hidden world beneath. The exposed seafloor
A group of four space travelers just made history by orbiting over Earth's north and south poles. This is a first for humans, and the pictures they're sending back are stunning. The journey began on March 31, 2025, when a SpaceX rocket blasted off from Florida, carrying the crew in a spacecraft name
Cancer treatment is a complex challenge. Researchers have been exploring new ways to fight it. One promising approach involves using nanoparticles. These tiny particles can be designed to target cancer cells directly. This reduces damage to healthy cells. One type of nanoparticle that is gaining att
House finches are known for their vibrant red feathers. These feathers are a result of a specific pigment called 3-hydroxy-echinenone. This pigment is a type of carotenoid. Carotenoids are colorful compounds found in many plants and animals. They are responsible for the bright colors in many bir
