Nanoparticles, tiny pollutants, are a big worry. They can harm nature and people over time. A recent study looked at how these nanoparticles stick to and come off of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) in wastewater treatment. AGS is a special kind of sludge used to clean water. The study found that the
A renowned science journalist has passed away at the age of 92. John Noble Wilford spent his career writing about incredible scientific achievements. He was there when humans first set foot on the moon. His words brought the excitement of that moment to life for readers everywhere. Wilford's report
Heart attacks are serious, and spotting them early is crucial. Scientists have been working on new ways to see heart damage using special tiny particles and advanced imaging. These particles, called nanoparticles, are not new. But the way they are used here is different. The usual method involves u
A recent development has shaken the foundation of a widely accepted study that declared Roundup safe for human use. The journal that published the study has officially withdrawn it after discovering that Monsanto, the company behind Roundup, secretly wrote the paper and paid scientists to put their
Heat stress is a big problem for chickens, especially their guts. Scientists wanted to see if zinc could help. They did two experiments using tiny pieces of chicken intestines, called organoids. In the first experiment, they put these organoids in different temperatures. One group was at normal tem
Ever wondered how scientists study the tiny worlds inside our bodies? They use special tools to look at microbes, but sometimes, they need fake data to test these tools. That's where MHASS comes in. It's like a fake microbiome maker. It creates pretend data that looks real. This helps scientists che
Florida is about to put on a sky show, and you won't want to miss it. The next rocket launch is set for Sunday, December 7, from the Kennedy Space Center near Cape Canaveral. This isn't just any launch; it's a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying 29 Starlink satellites into space. The best part? You migh
A mysterious object named 3I/ATLAS has sparked a heated discussion among scientists. Most experts say it's just a comet. But a famous Harvard scientist, Avi Loeb, thinks it might be something far more interesting. He believes it could be a sign of alien technology. Loeb argues that Earth has been a
In the quiet eucalyptus groves of Santa Cruz, a unique project is underway. Citizen scientists are using smartphones to track monarch butterflies. This is thanks to tiny Bluetooth tags called Blu+. These tags help researchers understand the migration patterns of these beautiful insects. The western
The ocean floor is a mysterious place, full of creatures we barely know. Recently, scientists found over 4, 000 tiny animals living in an area where companies want to mine rare metals. Out of these, they identified 788 unique species, including tiny crustaceans, mollusks, and worms. The team studie
