The cannabis industry has been revolutionized by the introduction of a lesser-known compound called cannabigerol (CBG). While CBD has long been the star of the show, CBG is now gaining traction as it shows promising results in treating anxiety and stress. The recent human clinical trial conducted on 34 healthy users has shed light on
In a recent study published in the journal Chem by researchers from Dartmouth and Southern Methodist University (SMU), a groundbreaking method for capturing and displaying three-dimensional images inside polymers has been introduced. This innovative technique involves using a specialized light projector to imprint both two-dimensional and 3D images into polymers containing a photosensitive chemical additive
The recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Cambridge and the British Antarctic Survey sheds light on the impact of biomass burning on climate change. By tracking fire activity over the past 150 years through measurements of carbon monoxide trapped in Antarctic ice cores, the researchers have uncovered significant findings that challenge previous
In recent years, the field of chemistry has been revolutionized by the collaboration between chemists and computer scientists to create AI applications that assist in various aspects of chemical research. The traditional methods of trial and error in chemistry have paved the way for innovative technologies that streamline processes and enhance accuracy in predicting small
In recent research conducted by Dr. Jin Gu Kang and his team at the Nanophotonics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), a groundbreaking colorful radiation-cooling liquid crystal material has been developed. This material has the unique ability to cool without the need for external power while also emitting color simultaneously.
The University of Liverpool researchers have made significant progress in the field of converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable fuels and chemicals. This breakthrough marks a crucial step towards achieving a sustainable net-zero economy by utilizing a plasma-catalytic process for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Unlike traditional thermal catalysis, which
As humanity continues to explore the possibilities of establishing long-term human colonies on Mars, scientists are faced with the challenge of overcoming the planet’s inhospitable environment. With temperatures dropping to an average of -64 degrees Celsius (-85 Fahrenheit), heating up Mars is essential for creating a sustainable habitat for humans. Recent research led by electrical
The quest for precision in the development of complex medicines and materials has long been a goal for scientists and pharmaceutical companies. Achieving this precision could potentially lead to the creation of more effective drug treatments. Recently, researchers at the University of Rochester, led by Shauna Paradine, an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry,
In the realm of biomedical research, the measurement of body mass is a pivotal metric that can provide crucial insights into an individual’s overall health and potential health issues. This is especially true when working with mice, the most common subjects in preclinical studies. However, the conventional method of measuring body mass involves physically removing
Exploring the impact of natural disasters on Earth’s climate has long been a focus of scientific research. One such phenomenon that has shaped the planet’s geological history is volcanic eruptions. These events have had far-reaching consequences, releasing vast amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and oceans, ultimately leading to rapid climate warming and mass extinctions
Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys are known for their extreme dryness and unique ecosystem. Surrounded by mountains that block melting glacier water and with minimal humidity, these valleys rarely see rain. However, a drastic change occurred in March 2022 when temperatures soared more than 70°F above average, leading to significant consequences for the local invertebrate organisms.
Quantum technology is advancing rapidly, with researchers at TMOS and RMIT University making significant strides in the field of quantum sensing. In a recent publication in Nature Communications, a new 2D quantum sensing chip using hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) was introduced. This groundbreaking thin-film format chip can detect temperature anomalies and magnetic fields in any
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide, with no known cure. However, recent studies have shown that significant lifestyle changes, such as adopting a diet rich in soups and shakes, can lead to remission in a considerable number of patients. The National Health Service (NHS) in England has been
When looking at Venus and Earth, it’s hard to believe that they were once considered planetary twins. Their paths diverged drastically, resulting in Earth becoming a flourishing paradise while Venus turned into a hostile inferno. The differences between these two planets go beyond just their appearances, with fundamental variations in their geological structures and evolutionary
