Swine farms produce a lot of waste. This waste often contains antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and antibiotic-resistant genes. These substances can harm the environment if not properly managed. A new method using modified zeolite and hydrogen peroxide shows promise in tackling this issue.
Poultry drinking water systems are hotspots for harmful bacteria and slimy biofilms. Keeping these systems clean is crucial for stopping the spread of diseases. Several cleaning agents have been developed, but their effectiveness varies greatly. Researchers decided to put three types of sanitizers t
Microplastics (MPs) are tiny plastic bits that are everywhere. They come from many sources like synthetic clothes, car tires, and plastic trash. These tiny particles are a big problem. They can soak up harmful chemicals and carry them around. This can mess up the environment and even harm people. MP
The aftermath of a deadly attack in the mountain town of Pahalgam in Indian-administered Kashmir has led to significant diplomatic fallout.

Water safety is a big deal, especially when it comes to nerve agents. These nasty chemicals can easily be slipped into water supplies, making it crucial to have a quick and reliable way to detect them. Enter the shamrock-like electrochemical biosensor, a compact and portable gadget designed to monit
The cleanup of uranium-contaminated water using microbes can lead to unexpected problems. When microbes die off naturally, they leave behind uranium-containing waste. This waste can release uranium back into the water, causing new environmental issues. Researchers conducted experiments to understan
Pipes transporting hot water from the Ain Skhouna spring in the Agadir region are facing a persistent issue. They keep getting blocked. To tackle this, a detailed examination of the water and the gunk inside the pipes is essential. The water from the spring is packed with minerals. It is so hard
The ancient terror crocodile, Deinosuchus, was a fearsome predator that roamed North America around 82 to 75 million years ago. This giant reptile had a body nearly as long as a bus and teeth the size of bananas. It was known for its wide, long skull with a unique, bulbous lump, unlike any other cro
The spotted salamander, a type of ectotherm, lives in environments with big temperature swings. These creatures spend much of their time underground, which might shield them from sudden temperature changes. However, research shows that their bodies still react to seasonal shifts. This reaction is se
Lakes are often seen as peaceful places, but they can hide dangers. Heavy metals in freshwater lakes can be a big problem. These metals can harm both the lake's ecosystem and the people who eat fish from these lakes. This issue has not been studied much, especially in lakes affected by water diversi
