Scientists have found a clever way to make special chemicals called α, α-dichlorosulfoxides. They used a method that involves electricity and two common chemicals: methyl sulfoxides and dichloromethane. This method is simple and does not need any fancy metals or extra chemicals to work. It can make
In the frozen lands of Siberia, a 14, 400-year-old wolf puppy's final meal has opened a window into the past. Inside this ancient predator's stomach, scientists discovered remnants of a woolly rhino, a massive creature that once roamed the tundras of Europe and Asia. This unexpected find has allowed
Scientists have made a big step forward. They have created new compounds. These compounds are powerful. They are also safer than older ones. The key is in their structure. It is called pyrazolo. This structure makes them special. These compounds are not like the old ones. They are more stable. This
In space, things don't work the same as they do on Earth. This is especially true for tiny creatures like viruses and bacteria. A recent study looked at how these microbes act in the International Space Station (ISS). The findings show that in space, viruses might take longer to infect bacteria. Thi
A crew of four astronauts is heading back to Earth sooner than planned. One of them has a medical issue that can't be fixed in space. The crew includes NASA's Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japan's Kimiya Yui, and Russia's Oleg Platonov. They've been busy packing up and cleaning their workspace on th
Fish has always been a staple in many diets, but how it's preserved and prepared is changing. People are now using methods like dry-aging and dry-curing to make fish last longer and taste better. These techniques are not new, but they are gaining popularity. Dry-aging and dry-curing involve placing
New membranes are changing the game in fuel separation. These membranes, made from special polymers, can handle tough jobs. They don't swell easily in organic solvents. This is a big deal because swelling usually messes up their performance. Scientists made these membranes using a simple process. T
The push for clean energy has created a huge need for metals. Instead of digging them out of the ground, we can get them from old electronics. This is not only good for the environment but also makes economic sense. Traditional ways of extracting metals from e-waste are not great. They use a lot of
In the vast expanse of space, a peculiar sight has left astronomers scratching their heads. A white dwarf, the leftover core of a dead star, is putting on a dazzling light show. This isn't just any light show; it's a glowing shock wave that shouldn't exist. The star, RXJ0528+2838, is about 730 light
People often think the world is getting worse. They see rude behavior, online trolls, and bad news everywhere. It feels like kindness is disappearing. But is this really true? Research shows that most people still value kindness and honesty. A big study with over 32, 000 people from different cultu
