Researchers say the tools already exist to decarbonize industry by 85%AI-generated by DALL-E (love those grassy smokestacks!) The industrial sector contributes approximately 25% of worldwide CO2 emissions, equivalent to around 9.3 billion metric tonnes annually, and this figure is increasing. However, a group at the University of Leeds asserts that we don't have to rely...
Credit: Pixaobay Coastal upwelling regions along the eastern boundaries of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are recognized as highly productive and biodiverse areas in the world's oceans. The movement of near-surface water away from the coast, driven by equatorward winds, leads to the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water from the depths. This process stimulates the...
The latest advancements in Brain-Machine Interfaces feature functional ultrasound (fUS), a non-invasive technique for reading brain activity. This innovation has shown promising results in controlling devices with minimal delay and without the need for frequent recalibration.

Safeguarding Life's Foundations: Manganese Ions Potentially Shielded Early Building Blocks from Gamma Radiation.Image Credit: IgorZh/Shutterstock The emergence of life on Earth is shrouded in mysteries, and one of the perplexing puzzles is how the essential molecules for life withstand the intense radiation prevalent during the early stages. While space harbors intricate chemistry, including amino acids...
The desirable substance, unless environmental stability is your preference. Credit: Energy. The common notion that oil is derived from decomposed dinosaurs, a belief often associated with pumping refined velociraptors into vehicles, is a prevalent misconception. Contrary to this widely held belief, fat does not originate from the remains of ancient dinosaurs. Geologist Reidar Müller from the...

Xanthan gum, sourced from plants like cabbage and renowned for its carbohydrate makeup, traditionally acts as a natural barrier in beauty products. In a recent innovation, this substance has been repurposed to create a protective layer for battery electrodes, deviating from its typical skincare application. Shielding Batteries with Cosmetics: a...
A visual representation capturing the formidable burst of gamma rays, stemming from an explosion in the remote cosmos, which reached Earth on October 9 of the previous year. Last year witnessed an extraordinary celestial event as Earth encountered the brightest flash of light ever recorded in the night sky, unsettling the upper atmosphere in an...
