Microplastics Make Their Way from the Gut to Other Organs, UNM Researchers Find
It’s happening every day. From our water, our food and even the air we breathe, tiny plastic particles are finding their way into many parts of our body.
PFAS Exposure From High Seafood Diets May Be Underestimated
Study stresses the need to set safety standards for “forever chemicals” in seafood.
Machine Learning Could Help Reveal Undiscovered Particles Within Data From the Large Hadron Collider
Scientists used a neural network, a type of brain-inspired machine learning algorithm, to sift through large volumes of particle collision data.
Rock Permeability, Microquakes Link May Be a Boon for Geothermal Energy
Using machine learning, researchers at Penn State have tied low-magnitude microearthquakes to the permeability of subsurface rocks beneath the Earth, a discovery that could have implications for improving geothermal energy transfer.
Oceanographers Uncover the Vital Role of Mixing Down of Oxygen in Sustaining Deep Sea Health
New research led by oceanographers from the School of Ocean Sciences at Bangor University has shown for the first time the important role of the ‘mixing down’ of oxygen in maintaining healthy conditions in the deep waters around the UK and elsewhere.
