Imagine a tiny piece of plastic, so small you can't even see it with your eyes. These are nanoplastics, and they're a big problem in our waterways. A recent study looked at what happens when zebrafish swim in water filled with these tiny plastics for just 96 hours. In males, the tiny plastics messe
It's no secret that tiny plastic pieces, called microplastics, are showing up in places they don't belong, like paddy soil. Scientists decided to check how this affects the way arsenic behaves in the soil. They ran a 98-day experiment using both regular and biodegradable microplastics in soil contam
Ever wished you could walk around hands-free and ask questions like a real-life spy? Meta's got something for you! Their AI-powered Ray-Ban smartglasses have just hit the shelves in France, Spain, Ireland, and Italy. Wearers can now get answers in French, Italian, Spanish, and English. Ask about the
You know how tires leave tiny bits of rubber on the road? Those bits are called microplastics. But did you know that pavements can also release these tiny plastics into the water that runs off roads? A study looked into this over two years. They discovered that asphalt roads let out the most micropl
In the bustling city of Dallas, Texas, a significant construction project is underway. Lincoln Property Company has begun work on a new industrial park, Brookhollow Business Center, close to Love Field. This development involves transforming a 17-acre truck terminal site on Empire Central Drive into
In forensics, detecting, segmenting, and visualizing latent fingerprints is crucial but time-consuming. Traditional methods involve destructive physical and chemical processes that can take hours to analyze a single fingerprint. Recently, a new laser-based technology has been developed to speed up t
Public opinion can spread like wildfire on campus social networks. Traditional methods of monitoring and searching these networks can be slow and wasteful. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a new approach. They've combined dynamic deletion with the shortest path algorithm to classif
You know how sometimes things just don't fit perfectly? Well, the same can happen with hip replacements. Doctors in a recent study looked into what makes hips go wonky after having a total hip replacement through the direct front path. They used specially designed stems for this operation. The study
Imagine if you could measure how stressed someone is just by looking at their body signals. That's what researchers are trying to do! They're building a system to figure out your stress level based on four simple body responses: heart rate, skin sweat, chest breathing, and belly breathing. The goal?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a powerful healing tool that doctors use to speed up recovery. It's made from a patient's own blood and packed with good stuff like platelets, growth factors, and anti-inflammatory chemicals. Some painkillers, called NSAIDs, can mess with how well PRP works. They block
