Scientists recently studied how water behaves when hydrophobic particles, which repel water, are added to it. They used a special kind of graphite called highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and a type of hydrophobic particle called (GA)15 fibrils. They found that within just a few hours, when
Zoo animal welfare is under the microscope these days. While zoos have made strides in care and management, there's still room for improvement. To push things forward, turning theoretical welfare ideas into real-life actions is crucial. Let's start with a well-known definition to set a baseline for
In 2024, a new horror film is set to shock audiences, but not in the usual way. Fears change over time and from person to person; even what spooked us as kids can seem different now. The movie "I Saw The TV Glow" takes us back to 1996, focusing on a teen named Owen and his friend Maddy. They love a
Biocatalysis is all about using enzymes to make stuff, and it's a big deal for many industries. One cool way scientists are making it even better is by looking back in time. They use something called ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) to figure out what ancient enzymes might have looked like. T
Imagine this: people who stormed the U. S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, are now asking judges if they can attend the inauguration of former President Donald Trump. This situation has sparked debates in federal courts about whether these defendants should be allowed to return to the scene of their all
Hexafluoropropylene oxide trimer acid, or HFPO-TA, is a newer option replacing traditional PFASs. It's tough to break down and can harm living things, hence the search for better ways to tackle it. One method that stands out is using UV light with sulfite and iodide. This mix can break down HFPO-TA
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is making waves in the medical world, especially when it comes to treating atrial fibrillation (AF). This advanced technique helps doctors navigate catheters more precisely and reduces radiation exposure during a procedure called radio-frequency catheter ablation
Imagine trying to schedule clean energy in a world where wind and sun don't always cooperate. That's what makes this job so tough! Traditional methods are struggling to handle the complex and ever-changing nature of clean energy sources. So, what's the solution? Enter the Environmental, Social, and
Imagine a tiny device that can help regulate your heartbeat without any wires or cables. That's exactly what leadless pacemakers are doing! Recently, there's been a buzz about these innovative devices that are specifically designed to help patients with heart rhythm issues. These devices, known as a
Imagine learning about your family's future health risks as soon as your baby is born. That's what can happen with newborn genome sequencing (NBSeq). It's a powerful tool that can spot diseases early in children and even alert families to possible risks for relatives. This isn't just about the baby;
