Mining does more than just extract resources. It also leaves behind a mix of materials that can affect the environment. One of these is slurry, a thick mixture used in grouting to fill gaps in the earth. But what happens when this slurry interacts with groundwater? Recent research sheds light on thi
Teachers play a big role in helping nurses who come from other countries. These nurses often need extra training to work in their new home. But what is it like for the teachers? Not many people talk about this. In Sweden, two universities run special programs for these nurses. The goal is to make s
Scientists have discovered an exciting way to convert CO2 into methane more efficiently. The secret? Light. By shining light on a special mix of ruthenium and titanium dioxide, researchers found that the process speeds up. This isn't just any mix—it's particularly good at this task. The light, wheth
In the world of college English teaching, there's a shift happening. It's not just about learning the language anymore. It's about understanding culture and expressing it in English. This is where the "Production Oriented Approach" (POA) comes in. It's a method that focuses on creating and producing
Life on the streets is tough, and staying healthy is an uphill battle for many. People without homes face a lot of health problems. A new program called PHOENIx is trying to change that. It connects pharmacists with groups that help the homeless. The idea is simple. Pharmacists who can prescribe me
The latest numbers on inflation in the US show that prices are still going up, but not as fast as some people thought. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, which is a big deal for the Federal Reserve, went up by 2. 3% in May. That's a tiny bit higher than the month before, but it
After a secret meeting on Thursday, senators from both major parties had different opinions about how much the recent US attacks on Iran hurt its nuclear program. Most Republicans thought the strikes did a lot of damage and would slow down Iran's nuclear plans for years. Some even used the same str
Part-time nursing teachers are crucial in shaping future nurses. They step into classrooms to share their knowledge and experience. But what makes them stay in this role? And what might push them away? A deep dive into research shows a mix of reasons. Some teachers love the flexibility. They can ba
Tyrese Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers' star guard, suffered a devastating injury during Game 7 of the NBA finals. The team confirmed on Monday that he tore his right Achilles tendon. This injury came as a shock to many, as Haliburton had been playing through a calf strain. The injury occurred in th
Scientists have found a way to make cheaper metals work like expensive ones in converting CO2. This is big news because usually, this process needs rare and costly metals like platinum. But now, by adding tellurium, a common element, to metals like cobalt and nickel, researchers can make them as eff
