Researchers from the University of York note that more studies are required on the environmental effect of sunscreen on the coral reefs across the globe.
Racial disparities play a role in weight gain among postmenopausal women After menopause, non-Hispanic Black women are more likely to experience weight gain than non-Hispanic white women, researchers at the Rush Institute for Healthy Aging have found. The results of their study were published March 1 in the medical journal PLOS ONE. Working in collaboration with colleagues at other leading research institutions, the Rush investigators set out to determine how weight status (a person's weight classification using standard measurements) contributes to differences in postmenopausal weight gain...
New Material may Reduce Wear and Tear on Future Space Rovers As the Mars Perseverance Rover of NASA continues to investigate the surface of the planet Mars, researchers on Earth have designed a novel nanoscale metal carbide that could serve as a 'superlubricant' to decrease wear and tear on upcoming extraterrestrial rovers. Photo illustration of a Mars rover designed by Missouri S&T students depicting the idea of MXene superlubric sheets applied to the machine’s moving parts to reduce friction and wear.

AI Algorithm can Help Predict Bacterial Infections, Develop New Treatments Written by AZoRoboticsMar 12 2021 A better understanding of how bacterial proteins function together as a network to take control of human cells could help estimate the outcomes of infections and design novel treatments. Image Credit: Pashkova/shutterstock.com Salmonella and E. coli, are similar to how a hacker takes control of an organization’s software to create chaos. These microorganisms use tiny molecular syringes to administer their own chaos-inducing agents (known as effectors) inside the cells that keep the ...
Microplastics (MPs) everywhere and pose a serious threat to human health. Although the concentration of MPs in table salt has been quantified several times, studies have reported vastly different results.
