Have you ever wondered how we can recycle old batteries in an eco-friendly way? Scientists have found an interesting solution using ocean bacteria called Pseudomonas sp. These tiny creatures produce special molecules called siderophores, which can help extract precious elements from spent Nickel-Met
Imagine this: a 22-year-old guy gets into a motorbike accident. Sounds normal, right? But here's where it gets interesting. He ends up with a rare fracture, one that's more common in kids aged 8 to 16. It's called an inferior patellar sleeve fracture, and it's not something you see every day. Docto
Burns can be a real challenge to treat. But scientists have come up with a clever solution inspired by nature. They've created a special gel that helps wounds heal faster.

Imagine if you could build tiny machines that are almost invisible to the naked eye. That's what scientists are doing with nanomaterials. These are materials that are incredibly small—about 100, 000 times thinner than a human hair! To make high-tech devices, scientists need to gather and organize th
Ever wondered how a war zone looks from space? Satellite images of the Gaza Strip are painting a grim picture. This small coastal territory, about the size of New York City, has been hit hard by the Israel-Hamas conflict. You might be shocked to see how much has changed. Before the war, Gaza was a
