Industrial wastewater often contains harmful pollutants like p-chlorophenol (4-CP) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). Scientists are looking for ways to clean up this mess and create energy at the same time. They've been experimenting with a type of plant called Leersia hexandra and a clever system c
Hey Lincoln residents! Snow is heading your way, and the city has issued a snow emergency. This means no parking on crucial roads, like those used by schools and buses.

Vanadium is something we might come into contact with through our food, water, or soil. So, what happens when we swallow it? Researchers used human colon cancer cells, called Caco-2 cells, to mimic what goes on in our intestines. They looked at the effects of vanadyl sulfate (VOSO4) and sodium ortho
Do you remember the French Revolution and the angry mob tearing down toll booths? Believe it or not, something similar is happening in New York City today. Governor Kathy Hochul is about to start a new program called congestion pricing. This isn't about sticking it to the king, though. It's about ma
