Predatory journals are a growing problem in the world of academics. These are fake or low-quality journals that trick researchers into publishing their work. In Jordan, a study looked into how well researchers can spot these dodgy journals and what they do to avoid them. The study found that around
When it comes to treating and preventing animal diseases in East Africa, one thing is crucial: veterinary pharmaceuticals must be both safe and efficient. As the global market for these drugs grows, it’s essential to follow strict rules at every step, from production to storage and administration. T
You know how much we love long-lasting batteries, right? Scientists found a new way to make them even better. They found a metal called indium that can transfer lots of electrons, which is great for energy storage. The problem was, indium batteries weren't very efficient. That's where potassium come
Ever carried a backpack full of chargers while traveling? Yeah, me too. But not anymore. Thanks to the Black Friday sale on Amazon, I found the perfect wall charger from Anker. It's not just any charger, it's the Anker Prime 67W Charger, and it's currently 40% off at $35! That's a huge deal, but don
Imagine creating tiny, powerful batteries using thin layers of special materials. This is exactly what researchers did when they combined VS2 and MoS2, two materials with fantastic electricity-storing properties, with nickel. It all starts with a unique structure called an inverse opal, which is lik
In Europe, HIV is still a big problem among women, and many chances to test for it are missed. Family Planning Centers (FPCs) should offer HIV testing, but they often don't. A small study in France checked if it's possible and acceptable for FPC staff who aren't doctors to offer quick HIV tests to v

Google has just launched the Pixel Watch Performance Loop Band, designed to be your ideal workout companion. This band is crafted from recycled polyester, nylon, and elastane yarns, with stainless steel lugs that offer a snug and adjustable fit. The band is perfect for sweaty workouts, being both du
In the world of flexible electronics, planar microsupercapacitors (MSCs) are superstars. They store energy and deliver power, making them ideal for wearable devices. But creating high-performance MSCs is tricky. You need materials that let ions move quickly and offer lots of active sites. Scientists
Imagine transforming your daily used coffee grounds and tea leftovers into something amazingly useful for the environment. Scientists have found a way to turn these waste materials into special, porous structures called nanoarchitectured carbon composites. These tiny, 3D materials can soak up harmfu
