Scientists have created a new tool to measure acidity in water. This tool is better than old ones. It uses a special gel and a smart probe. The probe has two parts that change when acidity changes. This makes the tool very accurate. Old tools had problems. They were not very accurate. They could be
Rice plants face a tough challenge when dealing with cadmium, a harmful metal. Phosphorus, a key nutrient, plays a big role in how rice plants manage cadmium. Scientists wanted to understand how different amounts of phosphorus affect cadmium in rice. In an experiment, they grew rice in water with d
Insects can be a big problem. They spread diseases. Scientists have a plan. They want to use radiation to sterilize them. Then, release them into the wild. This is called the sterile insect technique (SIT). The goal is to reduce the insect population. A special machine was tested. It's called the P
The International Space Station (ISS) has been a hub of human activity in space for 25 years. To mark this milestone, a special two-part series is set to air, diving into the construction and the human experiences aboard the ISS. The first part of the series, airing on November 5th, will focus on t
In the vast expanse of space, an intriguing object named 3I/ATLAS is making headlines. This celestial body has a unique timeline. It will come closest to the Sun on October 29, 2025. Just eight days before that, on October 21, 2025, it will be in solar conjunction relative to Earth. Additionally, it
The JUICE mission, headed to Jupiter, has a surprising chance to study a rare comet. This mission aims to explore Jupiter's icy moons, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa, which may have hidden oceans and potential for life. Ganymede, the largest moon, is unique with its own magnetic field, and JUICE wil
The human amniotic membrane, or HAM, is like a superhero for injured skin. It comes from the placenta and is packed with healing power. But before it can be used to help fix up wounds, it needs to be cleaned and dried properly. Scientists have been working on a new way to do this. They used ozonate
Sexual exchanges for resources are not new. They happen in many forms. Some call it sex work. Others see it as transactional intimacy. But why do people do it? And what makes it so complex? From a biological standpoint, it's about survival and reproduction. Men and women have different needs. Men o
Scientists have been on the hunt for better ways to fight cancer. They've found that a protein called HDAC1 plays a big role in how cancer grows. This protein is like a switch that can turn genes on and off. By targeting HDAC1, researchers hope to develop new drugs that can stop cancer in its tracks
Scientists have found a clever way to link peptides and small proteins together. They used special molecules called polyvalent thioesters as anchors. These anchors have many arms, like a star, and can hold multiple peptides or proteins. The process is quite neat. First, they attached several peptid
