The Moon, although not noticeable from Earth, is gradually shrinking as it cools down over time. While the rate of shrinkage is relatively slow at approximately 45 meters every few hundred million years, a recent study conducted by researchers in the United States suggests that this phenomenon could have significant implications for potential landslides and

The behavior of free electrons in water has been a topic of discussion in the field of physics for quite some time. When water comes into contact with radiation, free electrons are released from the water molecules as they ionize. However, the flow and behavior of these electrons between water molecules has remained a contentious
There is no doubt that understanding the Earth’s climate is crucial for our survival on this planet. The Earth has experienced extreme weather conditions in the past, such as the ice age that occurred more than 700 million years ago. Australian geologists have recently conducted a study to determine the cause of this ice age
Ribosomes are essential in the process of protein synthesis, acting as the cell’s “protein factories.” They consist of two subunits, with the small subunit responsible for reading the messenger RNA (mRNA) and the large subunit responsible for protein synthesis. While the assembly of ribosomes is well-understood, the degradation process has remained a mystery. However, a
Disney recently announced higher than expected profit in the last quarter of 2021, demonstrating its ability to adapt to the shifting landscape from traditional television to streaming. The entertainment giant reported a net income of $2.15 billion on revenue of $23.5 billion, which is similar to the amount generated during the same period the previous
From ancient times, humans have gazed at the sky, using the stars as guides for navigation and seeking spiritual connections. Throughout history, civilizations have turned to the stars to measure time and find meaning. As our thirst for knowledge and technological advancements have grown, the dream of space travel has become more attainable. Recent developments,
Phthalates, a group of chemicals widely used in plastic products, have been found to have detrimental effects on the health of pregnant women and their unborn babies. A recent study conducted in the United States revealed that one in ten premature births can be attributed to the exposure of pregnant women to these harmful chemicals.
Natural gas flaring, a common practice in the United States, is used to dispose of the gas byproduct from oil extraction. While it can reduce the safety concerns of the natural gas on site, it also produces nitrogen oxides (NOx) that directly and indirectly impact air quality. The Clean Air Act requires the U.S. Environmental
In recent years, there has been a growing trend of consumers opting for “green” cleaning products, under the assumption that these alternatives are safer for their health and the environment. However, a new study conducted by researchers at the University of York reveals a disturbing truth – many of these so-called “green” cleaners emit just
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames National Laboratory and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have recently conducted a groundbreaking study on infinite-layer nickelates. This class of unconventional superconductors has captured the attention of researchers due to its unique properties. In their paper titled “Evidence for d-wave superconductivity of infinite-layer nickelates from low-energy electrodynamics,” published
The advancement in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and healthcare may have stolen the show at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2024, but it is battery technology that lies at the heart of these groundbreaking innovations. The focus on battery technology is especially prominent in the realm of electric vehicles (EVs), where researchers are striving for
Depression is a complex mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Researchers from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have conducted a study analyzing data from 20,880 individuals, collected over seven months, to explore the link between depressive symptoms and body temperature. While the study confirms a connection between depression and higher
