Catalysis research has taken a significant step forward with the recent collaboration between researchers from the United States, China, and the Netherlands. Dr. Zhenhua Zeng and Professor Jeffrey Greeley from the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering have made strides in exploring active sites and catalyst design, offering a fresh perspective on catalytic reactivity and active
The analysis of freshwater resources around the world reveals a concerning trend – the planetary boundary for freshwater change has been surpassed as early as the mid-twentieth century. This means that for the past hundred years, human activities have significantly altered the Earth’s freshwater system, pushing it beyond the stable conditions that existed before industrialization.
It’s a sad end for the Odysseus Moon lander mission, just one week after reaching the lunar surface. The mission, managed by Houston-based company Intuitive Machines, was a significant event as it marked the return of US to the Moon after half a century. NASA had endorsed and used Intuitive Machines as part of its
A recent study has shed light on a surprising relationship between weight loss and cancer risk. The study, which analyzed data from nearly 160,000 health professionals over a span of 28 years, found that intentional weight loss was associated with a significantly higher rate of cancer diagnoses in the year following the weight loss. This
Meta’s recent announcement to cease paying for news content in Australia will have significant implications for Facebook users in the country. With the expiration of existing commercial deals, Facebook will no longer feature dedicated tabs for news content, impacting those who rely on the platform as a news aggregator. Users will now have to individually
Recent research conducted by Australian scientists has unveiled disturbing findings regarding the impact of climate change on children’s health. The study, which analyzed 163 health studies from around the world, highlights the alarming increase in preterm births, hospital admissions, and respiratory diseases among infants.
