Epilepsy is a common condition, yet many teachers feel unprepared to handle it in the classroom. This can lead to students with epilepsy missing out on learning and feeling left out. A recent study set out to change that by creating a clear, practical guide for teachers. The study focused on what t
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
Scientists have created a new tool to detect tiny changes in our bodies. This tool, called a biosensor, can find very small amounts of a harmful chemical called bisphenol A (BPA). BPA is found in many plastics and can cause problems in our bodies. The biosensor uses special materials called SrTiO3

Researchers have found that the time of day can make a big difference in how badly noise hurts your hearing. They looked at cells in the inner ear and found that immune cells called macrophages play a big role in this. When the ear is exposed to loud noises, these macrophages get more active, espec
