Senecavirus A (SVA) has been a major headache for the swine industry, causing big problems and losses worldwide. To tackle this, scientists have been working on virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (NAbs). These NAbs are like tiny soldiers that can help us understand how the virus interacts with
Lactoferrin, a protein found in milk, has been shown to help protect the gut from damage caused by a toxin called deoxynivalenol (DON). Researchers wanted to understand how lactoferrin works at a genetic level to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the gut. When mice were fed a diet contami
For many years, Dick Eastland knew the Guadalupe River could be dangerous. He saw it flood Camp Mystic many times. Once, his pregnant wife had to be flown to a hospital because of the floodwaters. Eastland worked hard to make things safer. He helped create a new flood warning system after 10 kids di
President Donald Trump is heading to Texas to check out the damage from recent floods that have caused over 100 deaths. The floods hit hard and fast, overwhelming entire neighborhoods in minutes. This has led to questions about how well the government warned people and how quickly they responded. T
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are stepping up as strong contenders in the world of energy storage. They are seen as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries, especially for large-scale applications. However, making SIBs that can handle different temperatures, deliver high performance, and last
Researchers recently responded to feedback about their study on formamidinium tin iodide nanocrystals. The original work aimed to reduce impurities in these tiny particles, specifically focusing on tin(IV) impurities. The feedback came from A. Dhingra, who raised some points about the research. The
The South Shore of Massachusetts faced a massive flood on a recent Thursday. It was not just any rainy day. This was a "one in 200" weather event. That means it was a rare and extreme storm. The rain poured down hard in Boston, Quincy, Brockton, and other nearby towns. The National Weather Service h
In Central Texas, heavy rains led to terrible flash floods. Some people online blamed this on cloud seeding, a method used to make rain. But experts say this is not true. Cloud seeding is an old idea. It started in the 1940s. The process involves putting things like silver iodide into clouds to mak
In the heart of Texas, a sudden and severe flood turned lives upside down. Heavy rains caused rivers to overflow, sweeping away people and homes. This was a big emergency, and everyone expected a quick response from FEMA, the agency that usually helps in such crises. But this time, things didn't go
In July 2025, central Texas faced devastating flash floods, leading to over 100 deaths. Many pointed fingers at President Donald Trump's administration, blaming staffing cuts at the National Weather Service (NWS) for the high death toll. However, the facts tell a more complex story. The NWS did iss
