Food safety is a big deal. It's under threat from pollutants in the environment and from human activities. But there's a new hero in town: deep eutectic solvents, or DESs. These aren't your average solvents. They're green, efficient, and great at detecting tiny amounts of pollutants in food. DESs
Imagine if scientists could teach computers to understand our brain waves better. This is exactly what some researchers are trying to do. They are using a technique called deep learning to analyze something called functional brain networks (FBNs). These networks are like maps that show how different
Stem cells (SCs) are like superheroes in our bodies. They can turn into many different types of cells. They are also the key to understanding aging. As we grow older, these SCs lose their superpowers. They can't renew as easily and can't change into as many types of cells. This is where exercise com
Ex vivo MRI is a powerful tool for exploring brain tissue. This technique allows scientists to study the brain's structure and connections in great detail. It is used to understand how the brain is wired and how different parts connect. Unlike in vivo MRI, which looks at living tissue, ex vivo MR
China is gearing up for an exciting space adventure with the Tianwen-2 mission. This isn't just any mission; it's a two-for-one deal. First, the spacecraft will visit a near-Earth asteroid named Kamoʻoalewa. This asteroid is special because it's like a mini-moon, always hanging out near Earth. The s
China has sent a new satellite into space. This isn't just any satellite, though. It's called ChinaSat-10R, and it's designed to replace an older one that's been up there since 2011. The launch happened on February 22 from a place called Xichang Satellite Launch Center. This launch was a big deal be
Chemists have found a clever way to turn certain compounds into useful chemicals. They use a special substance called PPh3 and light to make this happen. This process is gentle and works with many different types of chemicals. It's like having a magic wand that can change one thing into another with
Onocleaceae is a small group of ferns with around five species spread across four different genera. These ferns are found in a wide range of places, from the cold north to the temperate zones. One interesting fact is that they are found in both Eurasia and North America, including Mexico. This wide
In September, a US Air Force pilot had a strange experience. He was flying a Beechcraft 350 C over California. It was a clear day. Suddenly, something unusual happened. A dark gray, cylindrical object, about the size of a football, flew right under his wing. This object was only about 10 feet away.
Cancer is a tricky foe, and scientists are constantly on the hunt for new ways to understand it. Recent advancements in sequencing cancer genomes have led to some big discoveries. Two standout findings are chromothripsis and kataegis. Chromothripsis is like a chromosomal crisis, where chromosomes br
