Scientists have created a new tool to help clean up dirty water. They made special foam with tiny bits of graphene and a mix of nickel and cobalt. This foam can help break down a harmful chemical called 2, 3-dichlorophenol. The foam is put into a tube, and water flows through it. The foam uses light
Plastic waste in farms is a big problem. It often carries fire retardants, which are chemicals used to stop things from burning. These chemicals can stick to the plastic and cause harm to the environment. But how exactly do they stick? And what makes them stick more or less? Scientists looked at tw
July is not just any month; it's Ice Cream Month, and guess what? The third Sunday of July is National Ice Cream Day. This isn't just some random holiday made up by ice cream lovers. Nope, it's officially recognized by the U. S. government. Back in 1984, a joint resolution was passed in Congress, an
College life is all about balancing study, socializing, and sleep. But how does this balance affect fitness? A recent study dug into how daily activities impact physical fitness in college students. The focus was on how much time is spent moving, sitting, and sleeping. Researchers used a special me
Metal 3D printing is a game-changer. It constructs objects layer by layer from a digital blueprint. The melt pool, a hot, liquid area, is crucial for the final product's quality. Monitoring this pool helps in identifying flaws and predicting how the material will act. Different 3D printers use vari
In a surprising turn of events, Sarepta Therapeutics has chosen to defy the FDA's request to stop distributing its gene therapy drug, Elevidys. This decision comes after three patient deaths linked to the treatment. The FDA has expressed serious concerns about the safety of the drug and has asked Sa
Jenny Fisher, a biology professor at Indiana University Northwest, has been selected for a prestigious fellowship with the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This program, known as the E. Kika De La Garza science fellowship, aims to boost agricultural opportunities and support Hispanic-Serving
Scientists have found a key protein in the sticky stuff that holds together sludge granules in seawater. This protein might be the reason these granules stay strong and can remove phosphate from water. The granules were grown in a special reactor using seawater and acetate, a common carbon source. T
In the world of environmental science, keeping an eye on water quality is super important. Sensors in rivers and other water bodies collect lots of data. But sometimes, this data has errors. These errors can mess up the whole monitoring system. So, scientists are always looking for better ways to fi
A tech CEO and his HR head found themselves in a viral video after a simple concert moment went wrong. Grace Springer, a big Coldplay fan, recorded the awkward scene. She didn't know who the couple was when she filmed them kissing on the kiss cam. The video quickly spread online, with millions of vi
