Un nou studiu internaţional aduce lumină asupra unora dintre cele mai misterioase particule din cosmos - neutrino, „fantomele” materiei care traversează neobservate tot ce întâlnesc în cale. Trilioane dintre ele trec prin...

A study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) shows that between 2001 and 2024, the Earth reflected less sunlight, which means that the planet has become "darker". The phenomenon is especially...

The vast and mysterious universe seems eternal to human perception. However, a new theoretical study recently published proposes a shorter timeline: just 10 billion years until the current expansion stops, and the universe will begin to contract....

An international team of researchers at CERN has taken a significant step towards understanding one of the greatest mysteries of the Universe - the disappearance of antimatter immediately after the Big Bang. In the LHCb experiment, physicists...

Europe faced one of the most intense springs in terms of pollen levels in the atmosphere in 2025. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), quoted by AFP, announced that in May there was a sharp seasonal release of pollen, with values...

A team of researchers from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has unexpectedly succeeded in transforming lead into gold using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), reports the zdnet.fr website. Although it is not a commercially...

Un studiu recent prezentat în cadrul Societăţii Americane de Chimie (American Chemical Society) arată că mestecarea gumei poate elibera sute de particule de microplastic în gură. Cercetătorii de la Universitatea California din Los Angeles (UCLA)...

A recent study presented at the American Chemical Society shows that chewing gum can release hundreds of microplastic particles into the mouth. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) analyzed the chemical composition of a...

Air pollution plays a significant role in the increase in the number of cases of lung adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer globally, reveals a new study published in the journal Lancet Respiratory Medicine. With 2.5 million cases...

A new study has found that microplastics and nanoplastics are present in significantly higher amounts in the placentas of babies born prematurely compared to those born at term. The study, conducted by a team of researchers in the US, suggests...

China has announced the completion of a high-performance linear plasma generator, called SWORD (Superconducting Plasma Wall Interaction Linear Device), which represents a significant step in nuclear fusion energy research. The Hefei Institute of...

Big city living has some advantages, but also many disadvantages. Extreme pollution is among the disadvantages. Vietnam's capital, Hanoi, shrouded in a thick layer of smog in recent weeks, is at the top of the world's most polluted...

Air pollution caused by fires has become a major global problem, responsible for more than 1.5 million deaths per year, according to a study recently published in the prestigious journal The Lancet. This alarming statistic highlights the...

Plastic pollution has reached unprecedented levels. Four global policies could eliminate almost all plastic pollution on Earth, according to a study conducted with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) by researchers at the University of...

Drones can do good things too, they are not just weapons of war. Authorities in the Indian capital, New Delhi, have tested a prototype of a sprinkler drone to combat the most resistant points of air pollution. The metropolis of 30 million...

Hell, including that of pollution, is paved with good intentions. New Delhi was declared the world's most polluted city at the end of last week, following a new wave of pollution generated by the celebration of Diwali, one of the most...

Pollution can have its charm, that's what great artists claim, who managed to immortalize it in famous paintings. Claude Monet, one of the greatest masters of Impressionism, was captivated by London and its famous "fog", a combination...

Airplane traffic is once again disrupted by natural phenomena. Mount Etna has erupted, causing the closure of the airport in Catania, on the eastern coast of Sicily, the Italian Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) reported, informs...

Confirmation of the weather records set this hot summer is coming from several directions. Last month was the hottest July on record and marked the 14th consecutive monthly temperature record, according to a US agency. 2024 currently has a 77%...

Problems also come from space, they are not only the result of human activities. New solar storms could cause geomagnetic storms on Earth, with displays of the aurora borealis even at lower latitudes, according to the US National Oceanic and...

Pollution literally suffocates people. Fine particulate air pollution is responsible for about 7 percent of deaths in ten major Indian cities, a study estimates, pointing out that mortality remains high even among relatively unpolluted...

Pollution remains a major threat to life on earth. Air pollution, both indoor and outdoor, causes numerous victims globally, including children, and is now much more lethal than smoking, according to a report published under the auspices of...

The step from theory to scientific demonstration is not very easy to do and takes quite a lot of time. Scientists have demonstrated one of Albert Einstein's theories, proving not only the existence of a "plunge" region around a black...

Climate change, with all its array of problems, is making its presence felt in all corners of this world. New information on this topic appears weekly.

The widespread pollution of the world's waters by millions of tons of waste has flooded the oceans with microplastics. These are the result of the physical and chemical degradation of objects, a process that lasts hundreds of years. The...

The issue of microplastics ending up in nature is being studied with highly accurate "tools." The quantity of microplastics in Antarctica is being analyzed using nuclear physics by studying the region's waters, marine sediments, and...

Humanity is facing increasingly numerous threats, many of which are self-inflicted, and nature seems less willing to aid humans. Experts argue that we have reached a point of no return, and if humanity does not realize the gravity of the...

Water pollution is a major issue. The Romanian sector of the Danube transports an average of 48.5 tons of microplastics (MiPs) and 48 tons of macroplastics (MaPs) annually, as shown by the results of a study conducted by the MaiMultVerde...

The coronavirus is no longer dominating daily news headlines, but that doesn't mean it's no longer causing problems. The pandemic has passed, but the complications caused by this virus, which turned the world upside down, have remained....

Asia is the most polluted continent, and uncontrolled industrialization is to blame for this situation. A high level of pollution is expected to persist in Beijing and the surrounding regions until mid-November, as announced by state media...

Poor air quality shortens life expectancy. There are plenty of examples of this. The air quality in the capital of India deteriorated at the beginning of this week when pollution levels reached their highest this year after weak winds in the cold...

Longevity has reached a record-level in the developed countries. In France, for example, women live on average 85 years, which is three and a half times more than the life expectancy in mid 18th century, which was limited at 25 years. Specialists...
