A new research has found out that when a baby is in its mother’s womb and it is exposed to air pollution, there is a high risk that the baby will develop certain mental health problems once it reaches the adolescence phase.

A team including researchers from the Texas A&M University School of Public Health and School of Medicine has found that high resolution mass spectrometry could be a valuable tool for identifying and assessing air-borne contaminants produced by natural and man-made disasters.

University of Illinois Chicago engineers have helped design a new method to make hydrogen gas from water using only solar power and agricultural waste, such as manure or husks. The method reduces the energy needed to extract hydrogen from water by 600 %, creating new opportunities for sustainable, climate-friendly chemical production.

Researchers have developed a ‘game-changing’ blood test that could identify patients experiencing large vessel occlusion stroke with high accuracy. This test would help to ensure that more people suffering from stroke receive critical and life-restoring care.

Uniqsis has introduced a temperature control module – Polar Bear Plus Flow that can be used as a standalone unit or integrated with a flow reactor for heated and cooled flow chemistry applications.

A study has revealed that the way faults are aligned plays an important role in determining where an earthquake will happen. The findings offer new insights into the more traditional notion that it is primarily the type of friction happening at these faults that governs whether earthquakes happen or not.

In a new study, researchers have found that its participants (U.S. women) who had greater Mediterranean diet intake had up to 23 % lower risk of all-cause mortality, with benefits for both cancer mortality and cardiovascular mortality.

Climate scientists have found that human activity has worsened specific weather events and made them more likely to occur. In a study, they have mentioned that weather forecasts can be used to show how human behavior is impacting extreme weather conditions.

Researchers have revealed that boosting the key protein Irak-M in eye cells could prevent age related vision loss. This protein plays a vital role for protecting the layer of cells essential for maintaining a healthy retina.

Combining digital light painting and low-cost air pollution sensors, a team of artists and scientists produced photographic evidence of pollution levels in cities across the three countries — sparking debate among local communities and illustrating:
