Paper straws not so eco-friendly, 90% contain toxic “forever chemicals”

A new European study has found that 90% of so-called eco-friendly paper straws contain “forever chemicals,” compounds that don’t – or barely – break down and can accumulate in our bodies, leading to health problems. The findings are consistent with res… Continue reading Paper straws not so eco-friendly, 90% contain toxic “forever chemicals”

Lung immune cells “trained” to remove debris that causes inflammation

Researchers have discovered that lung-based immune cells can be “trained” to remember a previously encountered pathogen, making them more efficient at clearing out the cellular debris that accumulates during infection and reducing inflammation.Continue… Continue reading Lung immune cells “trained” to remove debris that causes inflammation

Game-changing molecule makes polymers more metal-like to up durability

Researchers have developed a molecule that, when added to a polymer, increases the material’s durability by making it more like metal in terms of its ability to withstand temperature fluctuations. They say it could increase the durability of everything… Continue reading Game-changing molecule makes polymers more metal-like to up durability

Brain-computer interfaces give two women their voices back

Losing the ability to speak after a brain injury or due to disease leaves a person unable to express their thoughts, feelings and ideas, and can be incredibly isolating. In two recently published studies, researchers demonstrated how combining brain im… Continue reading Brain-computer interfaces give two women their voices back
