Did you know that many people who take medicine for heartburn still don't feel better? Scientists recently tested a new way to help that doesn't involve pills—they used tiny electric shocks. This study didn't have a control group, but it was done to see if it could work. They wanted to know if these
You probably don't think much about formic acid, but it's actually a big deal in the world of renewable energy. This tiny molecule is great for storing hydrogen, but it has a sneaky habit of leaking through barriers meant to keep it contained. When that happens, it slows down the production of green

In 2009, the Naval Ship Code (NSC) was introduced to standardize rules for NATO naval forces. A study by the Spanish Navy General Staff (EMA) aimed to understand how factors like age, body mass index (BMI), and seniority of onboard personnel affect their ability to move during an evacuation. The stu
Scientists have been studying the lengths of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the BATSE experiment on NASA's Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. They measured the time it takes for 5% to 95% of the burst's light to arrive, known as T90 duration, and the time for 25% to 75% (called T50), from both brig
You might have heard of MIL-100(Fe), a special material made from iron and other chemicals. It's been used to break down pollutants in water using light, a process called the photo-Fenton reaction. The problem is, it doesn't work very well. Scientists found a way to make MIL-100(Fe) more effective b
Scientists were curious to see if two native UAE plants, Arthrocnemum macrostachyum and Tamarix nilotica, could fight cancer. They tried two ways to get chemicals out of the plants: leaving them in a liquid (maceration) and heating them up with microwaves (microwave-assisted extraction or MAE). They
