In the early hours, a drone attack on Odesa left two people dead and at least 17 hurt. The victims included a married couple, and three children were among the injured. The drone hit a residential building, causing significant damage and trapping residents inside. Meanwhile, Ukraine launched a coun
In a groundbreaking development, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has showcased its capabilities by identifying over 2, 000 previously unknown asteroids in just 10 hours of observation. This includes seven near-Earth asteroids, none of which pose an immediate threat to our planet. The observatory's adv
Histamine is a big deal in our bodies. It does a lot of important jobs. It works through four different receptors, each with its own favorite partner protein. One of these receptors, called H 4 R, is special. It helps control how certain cells move and fight off invaders. But how it does this has
Climate change is forcing people to leave their homes. This is a big deal. But how can we make sure these moves are fair and helpful? First, let's talk about consent. People should have a say in whether they move or not. No one should be forced out of their home without their agreement. But getting
Scientists wanted to see how chemicals from building materials move through soil. They used both computer models and real-life experiments to figure this out. The computer models, like PELMO, are usually used for farming chemicals. But buildings are different from farms. So, the scientists had to ad
India's farms are facing a silent threat: microplastics. These tiny plastic bits are sneaking into the soil and messing with crops. But how much do farmers know about this issue? A recent study took a closer look at what Indian farmers think about microplastic pollution. Researchers talked to 310 f
In the U. S. , parents and babies often visit different hospitals for care. This can make it tough to gather all the needed health info for research. Linking electronic health records (EHR) from various places could help. But how can this be done while keeping everyone's privacy safe? Researchers h
Fungi are sneaky survivors. They often find themselves in tough spots, like food or hospitals, where they need to adapt quickly. One way they do this is by picking up new genetic material from other organisms. This process is called horizontal gene transfer. Recently, scientists have found that fung
Mining does more than just extract resources. It also leaves behind a mix of materials that can affect the environment. One of these is slurry, a thick mixture used in grouting to fill gaps in the earth. But what happens when this slurry interacts with groundwater? Recent research sheds light on thi
Microbial life is everywhere. It's in the soil, in the air, and even inside us. These tiny organisms are super important for keeping the planet healthy and balanced. But humans are messing things up. We're losing these microbes fast. This is a big problem because it affects everything from the envir
