Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have made significant inroads in understanding how nanoplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—commonly known as forever chemicals—disrupt biomolecular structure and function. The work shows that the compounds can alter proteins found in human breast milk and infant formulas—potentially causing developmental issues downstream. Researchers at The University…

An international research team led by Professor My Ali El Khakani of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) has made a surprising discovery about the properties of molybdenum disulfide, also known as MoS2. The material is highly sought after in optoelectronics. An international research team led by Professor My Ali El Khakani of the…
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have reported advancements in understanding plasma pressure profiles within flow-stabilized Z-pinch fusion, a candidate for achieving net gain fusion energy in a compact device.

The UK is not on track to meet its climate targets and has no credible pathway to get there. However, a new set of more specific targets would provide some clarity for the country’s new government and would ultimately help achieve the overall goal: prevent further climate change. The UK is not on track to meet…
Gender discrimination doesn’t always end after a woman dies. Newspapers have long treated women differently in the number, wording and presentation of obituaries.

Scientists at the University of Malaga have shown, in an unprecedented way, how the so-called “elephant graveyard” of the Early Pleistocene archaeological site of Orce—a name given due to the amount of remains of the extinct elephant species Mammuthus meridionalis that it contained—hid a natural trap in quicksand. Scientists at the University of Malaga have shown,…
