Groundwater is an essential source of drinking water across the country. However, heavy metal contamination in groundwater presents a significant health hazard. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a nanomaterial-based solution that can effectively reduce the presence of heavy metals like chromium in groundwater. Groundwater is an essential source of drinking water…
For his 18th century thesis, Carl Linnaeus collected 643 different plant species that were then fed to horses, cows, pigs, sheep and goats. The results were carefully compiled but not analyzed until now, 275 years later, when they were also published in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society. For his 18th century thesis, Carl Linnaeus…
With housing affordability in Australia at its worst level on record and potential relief from new housing supplies years away, a QUT economist is proposing older homeowners be given incentives to rent out spare bedrooms.

New research exploring the effects of the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in Glasgow has found that while traffic flow has remained largely unchanged since the Zone was enforced, air quality has improved.

Imagine watching your dog waddle into the room and noticing that he is walking on the top of his back paw. While you may classify it as a harmless quirk, in reality, that “knuckling” action can actually be a response to the dog’s neurological health in distress. Imagine watching your dog waddle into the room and…
There is a high risk of increased metal emissions from coastal areas in the future. In a new model published in Limnology and Oceanography Letters, researchers from the University of Gothenburg show that climate change and overpopulation can flush out heavy metals that have long been buried in sediments, and where on Earth the risk…
As Russian missile strikes and heavy assaults by ground troops pace deadly attacks on Ukraine, a new report by University of Virginia researchers reveals another destructive facet of Russia’s invasion.

In a new study on the UK Biobank cohort, habitual coffee or caffeine consumption, especially at a moderate level, was associated with a lower risk of new-onset cardiometabolic multimorbidity. The post Moderate Coffee Consumption Reduces Risk of Multiple Cardiometabolic Diseases appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News. In a new study on the UK Biobank…
