In many parts of western Iran, farmers produce a lot of crop and orchard leftovers that can harm the environment if not handled properly. A new study looked at why these farmers decide to recycle or ignore that waste, using two well‑known theories about human behavior. The research combined the T
The story opens with a scientist named Ryland Grace who is sent on a one‑way trip across the galaxy to save Earth from an alien threat. Some viewers think the film is just a fun adventure, but others argue that it mixes real science with fantasy. Because the book was written by Andy Weir, a write
The study looks at ways to make historic buildings in Iran, Oman and Saudi Arabia greener. Instead of tearing them down or rebuilding, the researchers test “retrofitting” – adding new materials that come from plants and other renewable sources. First, the team measures how much energy a buildi
Studies of animals and cells reveal that ginsenosides, the active ingredients in ginseng, can protect nerves after a spinal cord injury. Researchers searched many scientific databases and found 22 studies that met strict criteria. The research covered both living animals and lab-grown cells, giving
A solar panel factory in South Carolina is under scrutiny after a wave of emergency calls raised questions about workplace safety. Lawmakers recently asked the state labor department to dig deeper into 13 reported incidents over the past year where employees needed medical attention. Many calls invo
A high school in Waukegan made a smart move by putting 932 solar panels on its big roof. The school used to pay a lot for electricity—now it saves over $94, 000 every year. That money now helps teens from families with fewer resources go to college instead of going toward power bills. The panels do
Scientists recently uncovered something cool about small, young stars scattered across our galaxy. These stars, called M dwarfs, often host large donut-shaped rings of superhot gas, or plasma, trapped by their magnetic fields. Instead of just being odd cosmic decorations, these rings are actually wo
Older fishermen who dive for their work show a mix of health traits that scientists want to understand. Researchers first looked at how the blood vessels, body shape, and everyday habits of these men differ from younger people. They also measured how strong the fishermen’s arms and legs were d
Recent science shows that a simple gas—hydrogen—is more than just a building block of water. Because it is so small, the molecule can slip through cell walls and even the blood‑brain barrier, reaching places that many medicines cannot. Researchers have tested hydrogen in a variety of ways: breathing
The Atlanta Falcons still lack a solid inside linebacker after Kaden Elliss left for the Saints, and analysts say they can address this gap before next season. A recent perspective lists the Falcons as one of six teams that could snag former All‑Pro Bobby Wagner, a 36‑year‑old linebacker known fo
