A recent study conducted by NASA researchers sheds light on the dynamics of river water flow, the rates at which water enters the ocean, and the fluctuations in these figures over time. This information is crucial for understanding Earth’s water cycle and managing freshwater resources. The study, published in Nature Geoscience, utilized a unique methodology

The idea of freezing bread to make it healthier has been circulating on social media platforms such as TikTok. The process involves the transformation of starches in bread, particularly those low in fiber or made from finely milled flours like white bread, into resistant starch when cooled. Resistant starches are harder for enzymes in our
Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla, recently met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang in Beijing, China. This meeting took place amidst the Beijing auto show where Chinese carmakers were showcasing their latest electric vehicle models. During this meeting, Premier Li expressed his desire for increased collaboration between the U.S. and China, using Tesla’s
Depression, with its core experiences of changes in energy, activity, thinking, and mood, has been documented for over 10,000 years. The term ‘depression’ has been in use for about 350 years, yet despite its long history, experts do not universally agree on its definition or the underlying causes. Rather than viewing depression as a singular
The impact of human activities on Earth’s surface has been extensively studied, but what about the deep subsurface that lies beneath the planet’s surface? A recent study conducted by hydrology researchers from the University of Arizona sheds light on how humans are affecting Earth’s deep subsurface. The study reveals how activities such as oil and
Solar energy is a promising renewable energy source that can help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate the impacts of climate change. In recent years, researchers have been exploring different solar cell designs to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance flexibility. One of the most exciting developments in this field is the emergence
Recent research led by astronomer Konstantin Bogytin from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) provides compelling statistical evidence for the existence of Planet Nine. The study focused on tracking the movements of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) – celestial bodies beyond Neptune’s orbit, like dwarf planets Pluto and Eris. Despite the challenges posed by the unstable paths
Over the years, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has become one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood. Originally referred to as attention-deficit disorder (ADD), the condition has undergone significant changes in its diagnosis and classification. The first clinical description of children with symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity dates back to 1902. British paediatrician
The detrimental effects of drug addiction on the human brain have long been a subject of interest among scientists and researchers. Recent studies by a team from Rockefeller University and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have shed light on the specific pathways through which addictive drugs like cocaine and morphine disrupt the
Google recently announced plans to invest $2 billion in building a data center in northeastern Indiana. This center will be crucial in powering the company’s artificial intelligence technology and cloud business. The investment is said to create up to 200 new jobs, including data center technicians and support services. This move highlights Google’s commitment to
As the deadline looms for the expiration of the labor contract between the United Auto Workers (UAW) and Daimler Truck, tensions are running high. The approximately 7,200 workers at four industrial sites in North Carolina, and one each in Tennessee and Georgia, are on the verge of a potential strike if key demands are not
Chemistry has long been associated with experiments involving colored liquids in beakers, flasks, and test tubes. However, the field of chemistry is vast and can encompass materials in all states: liquids, gases, and even solids. At the Critical Materials Innovation (CMI) Hub, a team of scientists is revolutionizing the way chemical reactions are initiated through
A day spa in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was shut down nearly six years ago following a state health department investigation into the facility’s unregulated practice of ‘vampire facials’. Recently, a report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed five suspected cases of HIV linked to unsanitary procedures carried out at the spa.
The Nile River, spanning over 11 countries in East Africa, holds significant importance as a source of water, energy production, environmental quality, and cultural wealth. However, the utilization of Nile resources has led to longstanding tensions among the countries sharing its waters, hindering opportunities for collaboration and mutual benefit. In light of increasing demands for
The field of quantum physics has recently witnessed a groundbreaking development through the introduction of frequency-domain photon number-path entanglement. Unlike the traditional spatial-domain entanglement, this innovative approach involves manipulating the frequency of individual photons using a cutting-edge tool known as a frequency beam splitter. This tool has demonstrated an impressive success rate of 50%, paving
