Water, a vital substance for human life/ Credit: pexels.comA study published in the International Journal of Sustainable Agricultural Management and Informatics has shown the potential of machine learning to forecast the water quality index, which could have significant implications for water management in both drinking water and agricultural applications.Water pollution, a concern of recent...
Graphical abstract. Credit: The Journal of Physical Chemistry A (2023). DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpca.2c07955Scientists from Universidad de Santiago de Chile and the University of Notre Dame have developed a machine learning-based approach to recognize organic compounds by their refractive index at a particular optical wavelength. This method has the potential to automate chemical analysis and make it more...
Jupiter's moons,also called Europa, have thrilling red streaks all over it´s surface. Scientists believe it's a frozen blend of water and salts, (like salty ice). Its chemical mark is unknown considering that it has no recognized substance on earth.Researchers discovered two new crystals made from water and table salt at low temperatures, below about...
Credit: biology dictionary.The dangers of building fires are well-known, with highly toxic gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) posing a significant threat to human life. Unfortunately, there has been no effective therapeutic approach to treat simultaneous CO and HCN poisoning, making it a major challenge in emergency medicine.Fighting against gas...
Prototypes designed and built by Kay et al. contain several layers of channels, each of which contain fluids with various optical properties; by pumping the fluids in and out of the channels, the system can optimize the type, quantity and distribution of light passing through.

Two projections of the molecular structure of 1. Credit: Molecules (2022). DOI: 10.3390/molecules27196205RUDN University chemists have produced new copper-containing metallasilsesquioxane frameworks. A few of them have proven to be effective catalysts for the oxidation of hydrocarbons. The results are published in Molecules.What are SilsesquioxanesSilsesquioxanes are a enormous team of organosilicon compounds. They are formed of a...
Texas A&M University researchers are using 3D printing and salt to create environmentally friendly polymers that will degrade over time. Credit: Texas A&M EngineeringA crew of scientists, one from the University of Cambridge and the other three from the College of Oxford, has used whole-body 3D imaging innovation for more information about the evolutionary...
