Methane is a highly potent greenhouse gas that can come from all kinds of places, including industrial facilities, agriculture, the production of oil and gas, and natural sources like wetlands and bodies of water. NASA has developed a new 3D map to not… Continue reading 3D NASA map tracks methane buildup and movement in the atmosphere
Introduced species are generally seen as a negative for the ecological destruction they cause to native habitats, but could there be a silver lining in some cases? A new study suggest that in fact there could be, after a global analysis of introduced h… Continue reading Escobar’s hippos and how introduced species could help rewild a lost world
Comparing the eco-credentials of electric cars and their gasoline-powered counterparts isn’t as simple as counting the carbon emissions coming (or not) from the tailpipe. New research is claiming to have settled the debate once and for all by taking al… Continue reading Total emissions from EVs undercut ICE cars in 95% of the world
Modern antidepressants can be a vital tool in helping patients cope with their condition, but they can also bring risks of their own, including side effects such as weight problems, drowsiness, dry mouth and impacts on blood pressure. Scientists at the… Continue reading New substance alleviates the side effects of strong antidepressants
The presence of toxic metals in water stemming from industrial sources makes treatment a tall order, with these polluted liquids capable of contaminating groundwater supplies for years or even decades thereafter. Scientists at Japan’s Nagoya University… Continue reading Electrified nanocarbon cleanses polluted water of toxic heavy metals
One physiological consequence of cancer and other diseases spreading throughout the body can be the hardening of the structure surrounding cells called the extracellular matrix. Scientists at Purdue University have now developed a new way to detect suc… Continue reading New lab-on-a-chip device detects spread of disease using sound waves
Designed to balance versatility and excellent portability, Gerber’s new Armbar Drive is claimed to offer the kind of utility you could expect of a full-sized multitool, while still easily sliding in and out of one’s pocket.Continue ReadingCategory: Out… Continue reading Gerber’s Armbar Drive packs 8 tools into one pocket-friendly package
Scientists in Singapore have come up with a new type of soft, pliable particle they say can be used as a building blocks for a new generation of green and biocompatible materials, all by using pollen as a starting point. These incredibly hard natural g… Continue reading Scientists engineer soft, micro-gel particles from ultra-hard pollen
NASA is continuing to prepare its freshly named Mars 2020 rover for launch later this year, with the team successfully attaching the main sampling components that will be used to collect Martian rock and dust after touchdown. There are still a few fini… Continue reading NASA installs Mars rover’s sampling arm, plans for July launch
