Credit: DepositphotosIt’s well-known that enjoying a tasty fish fillet or a seafood platter provides essential nutrients like omega-3s and vitamin D. However, these meals often come with an unwelcome side: numerous micro- and nano-plastics.Plastic particles smaller than 5 millimeters find their way into oceans through human waste, infiltrating the food chain. An Ifremer study...

Credit: PixabayAir fryers emit significantly less indoor air pollution than other cooking methods, such as pan and deep frying, according to a new study.While cooking is a major source of indoor air pollution, much of the research has focused on air fryers' energy efficiency, leaving their environmental benefits less explored. Since most people spend...
Credit: PixabayKristian Riesbeck, a professor of clinical bacteriology at Lund University, was approached by Ukrainian microbiologist Oleksandr Nazarchuk for help in assessing antibiotic resistance in bacteria from severely injured, infected war patients. Using samples from 141 individuals, including 133 adults and 8 newborns with pneumonia, the study revealed widespread resistance to broad-spectrum antibiotics. Alarmingly,...
Credit: PixabayJupiter’s Great Red Spot has long been a planetary icon. However, UC Berkeley astronomers have now identified equally massive, Earth-sized dark spots at the planet’s poles. These UV-dark ovals, which appear within the stratospheric haze at the poles, come and go unpredictably. Notably, they sit just below the auroral zones and absorb more...
Credit: PixabayGlobal carbon emissions from fossil fuels hit a record high in 2024, according to the latest research from the Global Carbon Project. Fossil CO2 emissions are projected to reach 37.4 billion tonnes, a 0.8% increase from 2023. Despite the urgent need to cut emissions to combat climate change, researchers say there is no...
Scientists have managed to quantify methanethiol emissions in the oceans on a global scale for the first time. Credit: PixabayResearchers have, for the first time, measured global emissions of a sulfur gas from marine life, showing it cools the climate more than previously believed, particularly over the Southern Ocean.A study published in Science Advances...
The sensors are attached to the underside of the leaves (right) in order to ensure that the plant still receives enough sunlightKohzuma and MiyamotoMonitoring crop health from aerial images has its limits, as they can only provide a broad overview. Enter a groundbreaking spectral sensor designed to attach directly to the underside of individual...
