The human amniotic membrane, or HAM, is like a superhero for injured skin. It comes from the placenta and is packed with healing power. But before it can be used to help fix up wounds, it needs to be cleaned and dried properly. Scientists have been working on a new way to do this. They used ozonate
In the heart of the Coeur d’Alene National Forest, a unique educational journey unfolds. Young students from various high schools across North Idaho are stepping out of their classrooms and into the great outdoors. They are not just observing nature; they are actively engaging with it. Equipped with
Gary's city council recently discussed plans to raise wastewater and stormwater fees, sparking concerns among residents and business owners. The proposed changes aim to address long-overdue upgrades to the city's aging infrastructure, but not everyone is on board. The council delayed voting on the
Offshore oil platforms release a lot of water back into the sea. This water can contain chemicals that don't break down easily. These persistent chemicals can harm the environment for a long time. Scientists needed a better way to find out what's in this water and how dangerous it is. They came up
Making hydrogen fuel without expensive metals is a big deal for clean energy. Scientists have cooked up a new recipe using cheap materials to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. They started with a special kind of crystal and added a tiny bit of iron. When they heated it up and treated it with pho
Ever wondered how water moves in and out of cells? There's a tiny part called the selectivity filter in aquaporins that makes this happen. It's like a gatekeeper that lets water in but keeps other stuff out. Scientists have been trying to figure out how this gatekeeper works, but it's been tricky be
Scientists have found a way to make water splitting more efficient. They used a simple method to add tiny bits of iridium to nickel hydroxide. This mix works well for both sides of water splitting: making oxygen and making hydrogen. The iridium changes the nickel hydroxide. It makes the material be
In the heart of South Korea, a five-year study (2018-2022) uncovered a troubling truth about our water. Researchers dug deep into the fractured bedrock aquifers beneath a research farm in northeastern Seoul. They used a mix of science tools to understand how nitrogen pollution was spreading. The te
Tradewinds 41, a new waterfront restaurant, has opened its doors in Vero Beach, offering a unique dining experience. This spot is not just about food; it's a lifestyle. Located at 41 Royal Palm Pointe, it's a place where you can enjoy a meal, relax by the water, and even park your boat. The restaur
Lake Erie is in for a rough ride this week. The National Weather Service has issued warnings about high winds, big waves, and even possible waterspouts. It's not just about the waves, though. There's also a low water advisory in place, which means the lake's water levels are lower than usual. The w
