A major cold front is on its way to the eastern half of the United States. This weather shift is expected to bring a significant drop in temperatures, especially from the Great Lakes down to the Ohio Valley and beyond. The cold air is moving south from Canada, which means many places will feel much
Sharks are known for their sharp teeth and powerful bodies, but recent drone footage is revealing that their fins might be more than just stabilizers. Scientists have long studied shark behavior, but drones are now offering a unique perspective from above the water. This technology allows researcher
Organic electronics are a big deal. They can make devices that are flexible and light. But studying how these materials are arranged is tough. Normally, scientists use microscopes or X-rays. But this can be hard when the materials are complex or don't form nice crystals. Researchers found a new way
Scientists have created a new tool to measure acidity in water. This tool is better than old ones. It uses a special gel and a smart probe. The probe has two parts that change when acidity changes. This makes the tool very accurate. Old tools had problems. They were not very accurate. They could be
Prince William is taking action to back up the brave folks who are fighting to keep the Amazon rainforest safe. He's launching a new plan to support Indigenous communities and environmental activists in Brazil. These groups are often in danger just for trying to protect one of the world's most impor
Rice plants face a tough challenge when dealing with cadmium, a harmful metal. Phosphorus, a key nutrient, plays a big role in how rice plants manage cadmium. Scientists wanted to understand how different amounts of phosphorus affect cadmium in rice. In an experiment, they grew rice in water with d
Plastic waste is a big problem. It doesn't just sit there; it releases hidden toxins that stick around for a long time. But there's some good news! Scientists found that tiny bits of iron in nature can help break down these toxins. These iron bits are like tiny helpers. They speed up the process of
The Amazon rainforest is under siege. Illegal gold mining is a big problem there. Recently, Brazilian police teamed up with Interpol to tackle this issue. They destroyed hundreds of illegal mining rafts on the Madeira River. These rafts were worth millions of dollars. The total damage to criminal gr
Kids aged 4 to 7 have unique ways of storing and recalling information. Scientists have been curious about whether lab tests and real-life observations measure the same memory skills. To find out, they used different memory tasks and discovered something interesting. Most memory abilities get bette
Nature is all around us. It's in the parks we visit, the trees lining our streets, and the green spaces in our schools. But how much do these places really help our health? Not much research has been done on this. Yet, it's clear that being around nature makes us feel better. So, why not make more o
