Imagine powering your car or home with nothing but water and air. That's the promise of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). But to make this a reality, scientists need to find a way to make a crucial process called oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) happen more efficiently in acidic environme
Ever thought about how tiny structures could change the way we store energy? Let's dive into one-dimensional vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanomaterials, which are making waves in the energy storage world. These nanomaterials are like superheroes, packing a punch with high capacity, high rate, and flexi
Cancer is a dangerous disease where cells grow out of control. Inside this mess, there's a protein called Tankyrase that plays a big role in sending signals called Wnt. These signals control crucial things in cells, like how genes work, how energy is used, and even cell death. When things go wrong w
Did you know that ants use their antennae like tiny detectives? These amazing insects rely on their antennae to sniff out food, sense danger, and even tell friends from foes. A study took a closer look at the leaf-cutter ant, Acromyrmex subterraneus subterraneus, and found some interesting differenc
You might think that once a good program to keep kids active and eating well is started in preschools, it would continue easily. But that's not always the case.

In the dead of night on January 3, SpaceX sent its very first Falcon 9 rocket of the year soaring into space. The mission took flight from Cape Canaveral, Florida, with a target of delivering the Thuraya 4 satellite into geosynchronous orbit. Thuraya 4, a project of United Arab Emirates-based compan
Scientists dived into the world of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), focusing on the Turkish variety "Sarı Ulak. " They were curious about its phenolic compounds (PC), volatile compounds (VC), and fatty acids (FA). To understand these better, they used techniques like GC-FID and HPLC for characterizati
In the world of tobacco, Philip Morris International (PMI) has been quietly supporting educational courses for healthcare professionals. These courses, disguised as independent, focus on harm reduction, suggesting smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes as safer alternatives to traditional smoking. But i
