Scientists have created a new tool to help clean up dirty water. They made special foam with tiny bits of graphene and a mix of nickel and cobalt. This foam can help break down a harmful chemical called 2, 3-dichlorophenol. The foam is put into a tube, and water flows through it. The foam uses light
In a surprising turn of events, an elderly man from Allentown, Pennsylvania, found himself in Guatemala after a routine visit to an immigration office. Luis Leon, who had lived in the U. S. for nearly 40 years, went to replace his lost green card but ended up being deported without his family's know
Aging is not just about wrinkles and gray hair. It's a complex process that affects every part of our bodies at the molecular level. Scientists have been studying aging for years, but traditional methods only scratch the surface. That's where multiomics comes in. This approach combines data from var
New, compact magnetic sensors are changing the game. They let scientists study tiny magnetic fields in a way that wasn't possible before. These fields come from electrical currents in the body, like those in the spinal cord and chest. Researchers ran simulations to see how these currents create magn
The U. S. has recently taken a tough stance on Mexico's aviation policies. The move comes after Mexico asked airlines to shift from the main airport in Mexico City to a newer one farther away. The U. S. sees this as a breach of their trade deal and a way for Mexico to favor its own airlines. The U.
Nature is a delicate dance. Too much water can mess it up. Scientists have been looking at how biodiversity and productivity in grasslands are linked. But they often ignore one big factor: flooding. This is a problem because flooding is becoming more common. It can stress out plants and change how e
Andry Hernández Romero, a young makeup artist from Venezuela, found himself in a tough spot after seeking asylum in the U. S. He was deported to El Salvador and ended up in a harsh prison known as CECOT. But there's a twist to his story. Recently, he was part of a group sent back to Venezuela in a t
Jenny Fisher, a biology professor at Indiana University Northwest, has been selected for a prestigious fellowship with the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This program, known as the E. Kika De La Garza science fellowship, aims to boost agricultural opportunities and support Hispanic-Serving
Scientists have found a key protein in the sticky stuff that holds together sludge granules in seawater. This protein might be the reason these granules stay strong and can remove phosphate from water. The granules were grown in a special reactor using seawater and acetate, a common carbon source. T
Christian Fredrik Borchgrevink lived a long life, from 1924 to 2024. He was the last of the first generation born in the 20th century. His life spanned a full century, witnessing massive changes in technology, society, and culture. Borchgrevink was not just known for his age but also for his contri
