In a recent publication in the journal Nature Climate Change, researchers argue that addressing inequality is crucial in achieving global Net-Zero goals. The report emphasizes that for effective climate change mitigation, it is essential to acknowledge and overcome the barriers that prevent individuals from adopting low-carbon behaviors. While wealthier individuals have greater capacity to reduce

In recent years, researchers have been actively exploring the manipulation of quantum systems and materials to achieve significant breakthroughs in energy management and conservation. This pursuit has led to the development of a cutting-edge platform dedicated to the creation of quantum thermal machines, which aims to unlock the full potential of quantum technologies in advanced
In a groundbreaking study, a research team led by Prof. Yao Hongbin from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has made significant strides in the development of solid electrolytes (SEs) with high Li-ion conductivity. The team successfully constructed a glassy Li-ion conduction network and created amorphous tantalum chloride SEs, presenting new possibilities
In a significant blow to its growth strategy, Chinese internet giant Baidu has announced the cancellation of its planned acquisition of livestreaming platform YY Live. The $3.6 billion deal, which was agreed upon in 2020, aimed to position Baidu as a leading player in the thriving livestreaming industry in China. However, due to the inability
Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, affects millions of individuals worldwide. While medications can control seizures for most people, around 30 percent of individuals with epilepsy have drug-resistant forms of the condition. In recent years, there has been growing evidence suggesting that a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, known as the ketogenic diet, may significantly
Regular exercise has long been associated with a myriad of health benefits. However, a recent study conducted by researchers from the Pacific Neuroscience Institute Brain Health Center (PBHC) at Providence Saint John’s Health Center and Washington University in St. Louis has discovered a compelling connection between physical activity and the size of specific brain regions
India has marked a significant milestone in its space exploration endeavors by successfully launching its first satellite dedicated to the study of black holes. The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite project catapults India into the elite group of nations engaged in investigating celestial objects through astronomical space observatories. This groundbreaking mission places India in the footsteps of
The synthesis of heterocyclic compounds plays a pivotal role in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry due to their versatility and potent physiological activities. However, current methods for synthesizing these compounds often involve high temperature and pressure conditions, as well as the use of precious metal catalysts. These conditions contribute to the economic and environmental costs
When it comes to prioritizing our health, what we eat plays a critical role. Eating a diet that is high in plant-based foods has been scientifically proven to be associated with better health and longevity. By reducing our intake of meat, processed foods, sugar, and salt, and increasing our consumption of nutrient-dense plant-based foods, we
When it comes to making a healthy berry smoothie, many of us reach for that trusty banana to add some creaminess and sweetness. However, a recent study from the University of California Davis (UCD) has shed some light on a surprising fact – bananas may actually overpower the antioxidants in berries. This revelation has significant
Many of us struggle to incorporate enough vegetables into our diets, despite being aware of their health benefits. It’s no wonder considering that vegetables often lack immediate taste appeal. However, with some effort and an open mind, it is possible to develop a newfound appreciation for salads and veggies. This article will explore the reasons
In our pursuit to maintain good cognitive health, we often emphasize activities that engage our minds, such as crossword puzzles or brain training apps. However, one sense that is often overlooked is our sense of smell. Recent research conducted at the University of California, Irvine suggests that enriching our environment with fragrances could have a
Boeing, along with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has recently requested airlines to conduct inspections on its 737 Max jets due to a potential loose bolt in the rudder control system. The FAA has assured that it will closely monitor these inspections, emphasizing the importance of identifying and resolving any potential safety concerns. This call
When matter is subjected to extreme pressure, such as deep within the Earth’s surface or the center of a star, significant changes occur on an atomic level. This phenomenon has long fascinated scientists, particularly when it comes to the transformation of metals into nonconducting insulators under high pressure. One such metal is sodium, which has
The early Universe was a time of chaos and marvel. In the formative years that followed the Big Bang, star formation ran rampant, and galaxies burst into existence, colliding and growing against the backdrop of darkness. However, as we attempt to decipher the light that has traveled across immense distances and eons, we occasionally stumble
