It's no secret that tiny plastic pieces, called microplastics, are showing up in places they don't belong, like paddy soil. Scientists decided to check how this affects the way arsenic behaves in the soil. They ran a 98-day experiment using both regular and biodegradable microplastics in soil contam
Researchers have been working hard to combine drug-related information and forecast what drugs do. But most of these efforts just connect different data together, rather than showing how drugs actually work. This can make it tough to understand and trust the predictions. So, a new approach has been
Sunny Hostin from "The View" didn't hold back when she expressed her thoughts on "Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski meeting with Donald Trump. She argued that now, more than ever, America needs a press willing to speak truth to power. Hostin felt that the "Morning Joe" team didn
You know how tires leave tiny bits of rubber on the road? Those bits are called microplastics. But did you know that pavements can also release these tiny plastics into the water that runs off roads? A study looked into this over two years. They discovered that asphalt roads let out the most micropl
Ever wondered why astronauts on extended space missions seem to age faster? NASA's recent research, Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA), provides some answers. It turns out that spaceflight speeds up aging by causing inflammation, genomic instability, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Interestingly, t
Russia's foreign policy has always been flexible, shifting alliances as President Vladimir Putin sees fit. Take, for example, Azerbaijan's recent retaking of Nagorno-Karabakh. Despite decades of alliance with Armenia, Russia didn't step in. Similarly, Russia's relations with Israel and Saudi Arabia
In the heart of New York City, a tale of crime unraveled when Irene Silverman vanished. Irene's suspicious tenant turned out to be Kenneth Kimes, not just any tenant, but a son in a wild criminal duo with his mother, Sante. Yearning for a normal life and knowing better now, Kenneth, at 49 and behind
In forensics, detecting, segmenting, and visualizing latent fingerprints is crucial but time-consuming. Traditional methods involve destructive physical and chemical processes that can take hours to analyze a single fingerprint. Recently, a new laser-based technology has been developed to speed up t
Imagine a world where science and politics walk hand in hand. Sounds intriguing, right? But what happens when these two powerful forces collide? It's a story worth exploring. Scientists spend years digging deep into the mysteries of our world. They conduct experiments, crunch numbers, and come up w
Did you know that certain chemicals, called semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), are hiding in our marine air? These aren't just any old chemicals—they're what we call "priority pollutants. " Scientists are still trying to wrap their heads around how these SVOCs move around the globe. In fact, t
