Offshore oil platforms release a lot of water back into the sea. This water can contain chemicals that don't break down easily. These persistent chemicals can harm the environment for a long time. Scientists needed a better way to find out what's in this water and how dangerous it is. They came up
Making hydrogen fuel without expensive metals is a big deal for clean energy. Scientists have cooked up a new recipe using cheap materials to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. They started with a special kind of crystal and added a tiny bit of iron. When they heated it up and treated it with pho
Ever wondered how water moves in and out of cells? There's a tiny part called the selectivity filter in aquaporins that makes this happen. It's like a gatekeeper that lets water in but keeps other stuff out. Scientists have been trying to figure out how this gatekeeper works, but it's been tricky be
Scientists have found a way to make water splitting more efficient. They used a simple method to add tiny bits of iridium to nickel hydroxide. This mix works well for both sides of water splitting: making oxygen and making hydrogen. The iridium changes the nickel hydroxide. It makes the material be
In the heart of South Korea, a five-year study (2018-2022) uncovered a troubling truth about our water. Researchers dug deep into the fractured bedrock aquifers beneath a research farm in northeastern Seoul. They used a mix of science tools to understand how nitrogen pollution was spreading. The te
Tradewinds 41, a new waterfront restaurant, has opened its doors in Vero Beach, offering a unique dining experience. This spot is not just about food; it's a lifestyle. Located at 41 Royal Palm Pointe, it's a place where you can enjoy a meal, relax by the water, and even park your boat. The restaur
Lake Erie is in for a rough ride this week. The National Weather Service has issued warnings about high winds, big waves, and even possible waterspouts. It's not just about the waves, though. There's also a low water advisory in place, which means the lake's water levels are lower than usual. The w
Cyanobacteria, those tiny green plants in water, can make drinking water smell and taste bad. They do this by releasing a chemical called 2-Methylisoborneol (MIB). Even a tiny bit of MIB can ruin the water's quality. But how and when these plants release MIB is still a mystery. Scientists did some
In the world of renewable energy, a Dutch company has made a big step forward. They've just finished testing a new underwater device that turns wave energy into electricity. This isn't just any device—it's a point absorber, which means it can catch wave movements from all sides. The best part? It's
Scientists have found a way to make better filters for cleaning water. They used a common chemical found in oil called thiophene. This chemical was used to make a special kind of membrane. This membrane is like a super-fine sieve that can filter out tiny bits of dye from water. The best part? They m
