Mercury Poisoning
Mercury poisoning is a type of metal poisoning caused by mercury exposure. Symptoms vary according to the type, dose, method, and duration of exposure. Muscle…
Novel Silver Nanoclusters are Produced Via Molybdate Anion Binding With the Help of Protective Molecules
The formation of silver nanoclusters, or the association of a silver atom with negatively charged anions, is frequently hampered by problems with stability, size homogeneity,…
Engineers continuously Harvest Abundant Clean Energy from thin Air
A team of engineers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently demonstrated that almost any material can be transformed into a device that continuously harvests…
Large-Scale Iceberg Releases During the Last Ice Age had no Effect on Nearby Greenland, Raising New Concerns about Climate Dynamics
Massive icebergs that covered a major portion of North America periodically broke off during the last ice age, dumping rapidly melting ice into the North…
Cancer-causing Toxins are removed from the Air by Plants
While plants do play an important role in improving air quality by removing pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), it is important to note…
As the World Warmed, Aviation Turbulence Increased
Temperature, wind patterns, and atmospheric instability are all factors that can influence aviation turbulence. While climate change can have an impact on these factors, the…
Since the Last Ice Age, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has Advanced after Retreating far inland
If global temperatures increase by 1.5 to 2.0 degrees Celsius (2.7 to 3.8 degrees Fahrenheit) over preindustrial levels in the coming decades, the West Antarctic…
Chronic Lead, Cadmium, and Arsenic exposure raise the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Chronic lead, cadmium, and arsenic exposure has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. These heavy metals are toxic to the human body…
The World’s Oldest Glaciers Have Been Discovered Beneath South Africa’s Gold Fields
The earliest evidence of the world’s oldest discovered glaciers was uncovered in South Africa’s gold fields. Extremely well-preserved glacial deposits lie beneath the world’s greatest…
Spatially Multiplexed Single-Molecule Translocations Through a Nanopore at Regulated Rates Provide Extremely Fine DNA Resolution
The Laboratory of Nanoscale Biology’s director, Aleksandra Radenovic, has spent years working to advance nanopore technology, which involves passing a molecule like DNA through a…
Focusing on Efficient Radionuclide Separation to Support a Circular Economy
The goal of nuclear scientists is to contribute to the development of a circular economy where “waste” serves as a resource. Scientists are attempting to…
