Ever wondered why some sprinters seem to glide effortlessly, while others struggle with every step? It all comes down to the relationship between horizontal force and velocity during over-ground sprints. Recent studies have shown that this relationship can change drastically depending on how much re
Did you know that bacteria can turn carbon dioxide into a useful gas called methane? Scientists have found a way to make E. coli, a common and easy-to-grow bacterium, produce methane. They added special genes from another type of bacteria, Rhodopseudomonas palustris, to E. coli. These genes gave E.
In 2022, about 2. 9 million American adults successfully quit smoking for at least six months. These individuals were mostly men, non-Hispanic whites, under 55 years old, college-educated, and did not suffer from depression. They also tended to drink alcohol. Nicotine products were the go-to method
Scientists tested three ways to check if viruses in wastewater are still alive. They used heat-treated and 'live' viruses in water and wastewater samples. They also looked at viruses naturally found in wastewater. The viruses included Human adenovirus 5, enterovirus A71, hepatitis-A virus, influenza
Think about a complex chemical like chloroethenes. They're used in many industries, but if they're not handled properly, they can do some real damage. Scientists are on a mission to figure out the best way to capture these harmful gases—specifically, they're intrigued by zeolites, which are like tin
Ever wondered how doctors solve medical mysteries in forensic cases? This exploration dived into the world of teaching clinical reasoning in forensic medicine. The goal? To check out what's already been written about it. Forensic doctors need sharp thinking skills to figure out the truth behind cri
These tiny packages, called extracellular vesicles (EVs), are making waves in medicine. They come from brain cells and are being studied as a treatment option. Scientists want to make sure they can collect lots of these EVs safely and effectively. One method they're looking at is monolith chromatogr
India's rapidly growing population and urbanization are driving up energy demand. Traditional energy sources are lagging behind, making renewable energy sources (RES) a crucial focus for sustainability and climate change management. India is blessed with diverse RES like solar, geothermal, hydro, bi
Ever stopped to think if taking shortcuts is common in the world of fighting sports? Scientists are digging deeper into this, and shockingly, it's more widespread than expected. Athletes sometimes use performance-enhancing drugs to jump ahead of the competition, but at what cost? These substances ca
Borophene, a thin layer of boron atoms, is making waves in the world of gas sensing. Its unique electrical properties and strong reaction to different gases make it a hot topic. Scientists have been busy studying how to make borophene and what it can do, but there's a big gap between what they've fo
