In a recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Cambridge and the British Antarctic Survey, the impact of biomass burning on climate change over the past 150 years was examined. By measuring carbon monoxide trapped in Antarctic ice, the researchers were able to track fire activity and its variability since the 1800s. The
In a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers at the University of Liverpool, a new and innovative approach to converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable fuels and chemicals has been achieved. This advancement in plasma-catalytic technology marks a significant milestone towards creating a sustainable net-zero economy. The team’s research, published in the journal Chem, introduces a
Cannabigerol (CBG), a lesser-known compound found in cannabis plants, has been gaining traction in recent times and showing potential to rival CBD in terms of therapeutic benefits. The first human clinical trial testing the effects of CBG on anxiety and stress has yielded promising results among 34 healthy participants. What sets CBG apart is its
Dr. Jin Gu, Kang and his team at the Nanophotonics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have made a significant breakthrough in the field of radiative cooling technology. This new development involves the creation of a colorful radiation-cooling liquid crystal material that not only cools without the need for external
Establishing human colonies on Mars has long been a dream for space enthusiasts and scientists alike. However, the harsh climate and inhospitable conditions on the red planet have posed significant challenges to making this dream a reality. The traditional strategies proposed for terraforming Mars involved pumping greenhouse gases into its thin atmosphere, a costly and
Nature has always been a source of inspiration for scientists, especially when it comes to finding answers to some of humanity’s most pressing challenges. The study of Earth’s geological history provides a unique and long-term perspective on global warming. Throughout history, the planet has experienced periods of catastrophic volcanic eruptions that released vast amounts of
The quest for precision in creating medicines and materials has long been a goal for researchers and pharmaceutical companies alike. Achieving this level of precision could revolutionize drug treatments and material development. Recently, scientists at the University of Rochester, led by Assistant Professor Shauna Paradine, have made a significant breakthrough in this area. Their research,
Measuring body mass in mice plays a crucial role in biomedical research, serving as a key indicator of overall health and providing valuable insights into potential health issues. Traditional weighing techniques, however, can be stressful for the mice and lead to inaccurate results. Recognizing the need for a more efficient and non-invasive method, a research
The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica are as desolate as their name suggests. With towering mountains acting as a barrier to melting glacier water and extremely low humidity levels, this region is known to be one of the driest places on Earth. In fact, there was no record of rain in the valleys from the
Quantum sensing technology has reached a new frontier with the development of a 2D quantum sensing chip using hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). This groundbreaking advancement allows for the simultaneous detection of temperature anomalies and magnetic fields in any direction, revolutionizing the field of thin-film quantum sensors. Traditionally, quantum sensing chips have been made from diamond
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide, with no known cure. However, recent findings from the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Program have shown promising results in putting the disease into remission through significant lifestyle changes. By following a low-energy, nutritious diet consisting of soups and shakes,
Upon closer inspection, Venus and Earth, seemingly like twins, have turned out to be drastically different in terms of their geological features. While Earth boasts a hospitable environment with abundant resources, Venus is plagued by extreme conditions such as toxic gases, acid rain, and scorching temperatures resembling hellish infernos. One striking difference between the two
