Ever thought about what happens to key elements in our soil when it gets washed away? Well, it’s not just about losing dirt. This study looked at the Rothamsted Research's North Wyke Farm Platform, where they found out how different elements like copper, cadmium, and zinc ride off with the eroding s
Imagine giant trucks rumbling through mines, but with a twist – no humans at the wheel. Scientists have been testing this out, putting these self-driving cars through a range of tests on different surfaces. They trialed various control systems, like PID (which is like a brain for machines), fuzzy PI
Coping with a hurtful partner is tough. But when big bad things happen, like money troubles or natural disasters, the situation can get even worse. That’s what researchers found when they looked into how survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) get help during stressful life events (SLEs) in wea
Are you curious about how climate change is affecting mangrove fisheries? Mangroves, those unique trees that grow along coastal lines, are vital for many small fishing communities.

Imagine a civilization so advanced they can steer entire stars! A new study suggests that aliens might do just that to travel the galaxy. Instead of building spaceships, these intelligent beings could propel their star systems by making their stars radiate or evaporate in one direction. This would m
Young children are spending more time than ever in front of screens. While enjoying cartoons and games, they might be facing risks we need to understand. Behavioral issues can crop up in kids under five who spend too much time glued to tablets, phones, or TVs. This study dug into how common this is
Seagrass meadows play a big role in keeping our oceans healthy. They provide homes for many sea creatures and help keep our water clean. But climate change is making things tough for these underwater plants, especially with those sudden heatwaves in the ocean, called marine heatwaves. Scientists are
Dengue fever is a growing concern worldwide, and there's no comprehensive vaccine or medication to stop it. This review looked at how scientists in Africa are using math and stats to predict dengue outbreaks and the mosquitoes that spread it. They searched through studies from databases like PubMed
Meet the yeast, Aureobasidium pullulans, a tiny creature from the vast open ocean. This yeast has a unique ability: it can switch between growing as single cells and forming long, thread-like filaments. Scientists have been trying to understand what causes this change in shape. A recent study found
