Optimizing the Extraction Process Preserving Nutritional Compounds Expanding the Applications Food waste is a significant global issue, with millions of tons of food and vegetables being discarded each year. Leafy vegetables such as kale and lettuce often undergo a commercial practice where farmers cut off outer leaves to ensure perfectly sized and visually appealing vegetables
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a baffling and debilitating illness characterized by persistent exhaustion and a lack of energy. Over the years, medical professionals have dismissed ME/CFS as a psychosomatic disorder, leaving those afflicted with this condition without proper support and treatment. However, recent research has shed light on
Michigan, known for its rich geological history, recently unveiled one of its best-kept secrets – a massive meteorite that remained hidden for over eight decades. This extraordinary find came to light when a local geologist, Mona Sirbescu from Central Michigan University (CMU), examined an unusual rock that had been used as a doorstop for 30
The field of biomedical imaging has seen significant advancements in recent years, particularly in the area of 3D quantitative phase imaging (QPI). QPI is a label-free technique that allows for the imaging of transparent living organisms and cells without the need for contrast agents or dyes. This enables researchers to study biological samples in their
The failure of more than half of the world’s top fossil fuel producers to meet climate targets has been revealed by a study conducted by an international team led by The University of Queensland. By analyzing publicly available data, researchers from UQ, Oxford University, Princeton University, and the Climate Accountability Institute developed an assessment methodology
Glaucoma, a group of neurodegenerative eye diseases, poses a significant challenge to patients and clinicians alike due to its progressive nature and lack of a cure. Despite efforts to lower intraocular pressure (EIOP), the main risk factor for glaucoma, disease progression continues in some individuals. However, recent research from China has shed light on a
The vast expanse of space has always fascinated humanity, and our exploration of the cosmos has led to numerous groundbreaking discoveries. One such discovery is the validation of a celestial body known as Maisie’s Galaxy, which has been confirmed as one of the earliest galaxies in the Universe. This article delves into the significance of
Deep space has always fascinated and perplexed humanity with its breathtaking phenomena. Among these enigmatic wonders lies the star system MACHO 80.7443.1718, originally discovered by the MACHO Project in the 1990s. This binary star system, known as a heartbeat star, exhibits an extraordinary celestial dance between two stars with significantly varying distances. The pulsating brightness
The global shift towards clean energy technologies, such as electric vehicles and solar panels, has highlighted the need for diversified clean energy supply chains. In her recent remarks, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen emphasized the importance of avoiding concentration of production in a few countries, particularly China, which currently dominates the production of batteries for
According to climate experts from the US government, there is a significant chance that 2023 will go down in history as the warmest year ever recorded. In fact, there is a near 50 percent probability that 2023 will hold this record. Sarah Kapnick, the Chief Scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), announced
Rutgers University scientists have recently introduced a groundbreaking method for creating coatings of biologically active materials that has the potential to transform the field of medicine. In a study published in Nature Communications, the researchers showcase their innovative approach to electrospray deposition, an industrial spray-coating process. By enhancing control over the target region within the
When one thinks of the word ‘glasses,’ the first things that come to mind are usually drinking glasses or corrective eyewear. However, there is a fascinating world of metallic glasses, also known as amorphous metals, that is gaining prominence in scientific research and technology. Unlike traditional metals, metallic glasses possess unique properties due to their
