Imagine tiny sheets, so small you can't even see them, stacked together to create a super thin membrane. These sheets, called nanosheets, are made from a type of clay called montmorillonite. Scientists have found a way to use these nanosheets to separate lithium (Li+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions from
Dairy farms in Wales are facing a significant challenge with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). To tackle this issue, it's crucial to understand what drives the use of antimicrobials (AMs) in these farms. A recent study delved into this by examining 21 dairy herds across Wales. The study collected a ma
In the heart of Southern Malawi, a significant discovery has been made. Researchers have found a type of snail, Biomphalaria pfeifferi, in the Lower Shire Valley.

Memristors are tiny devices that can process lots of information. They are like superheroes in the world of electronics. But they have a problem. They can't always work smoothly and evenly. Scientists have tried to fix this by changing the materials used to make memristors. But there's a catch. Most
Imagine trying to guess how busy a city street will be in an hour. It's not just about looking at past traffic data. You also need to think about things like the weather and what's happening nearby. Most methods out there only look at past traffic data for short periods. But what if we could use mor
Imagine trying to recycle batteries using harsh chemicals and lots of energy. It's a tough job, right? That's the reality of hydrometallurgical recycling. It's not just hard on the environment; it's also not very efficient. But what if there was a better way? Enter lasers. Scientists have f
