Is fast fashion slowing down? How global trade is being used as a "force for good"
In the world of fast fashion, where trends are born as quickly as they are discarded, global trade regulations have struggled to keep pace with relentless cycles of production and consumption......»»
Ice stupas have become a popular water management tool in the Himalayas, but can they work in Chile?
Every winter across the Himalayas for decades, human-made reservoirs have been capturing glacial meltwater from streams and preserving it in the form of ice. By slowing meltwater down or spraying it into the air, people cause it to refreeze, often in.....»»
Ticks may be able to spread chronic wasting disease between Wisconsin deer
A new study from researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison finds that ticks can harbor transmissible amounts of the protein particle that causes chronic wasting disease (CWD), implicating the parasites as possible agents in the disease's s.....»»

Researchers create copolymer to hold drugs that incapacitate defenses of tumor cells
Antitumor agents must kill off cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue and create no toxic side-effects. A novel approach based on "self-immolative" polyferrocenes—copolymers that split apart into their components as soon as they enter a tumor.....»»
Slowing deep Southern Ocean current may be linked to natural climate cycle—but melting Antarctic ice is still a concern
Our new research in the Antarctic suggests that the vital layer of cold water on the sea bed, which circulates the globe and influences the ocean's ability to continue absorbing much of the rise in atmospheric heat and greenhouse gas emissions, is he.....»»
Study provides new insights on bacteria that cause food poisoning
Recently, Providencia spp. which have been detected in patients with gastroenteritis, and similar to enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. O157 and Salmonella spp., have been attracting attention as causative agents of food poisoning......»»
EV purchase interest creeps up slowly
Consumer fear of not finding working chargers on road trips is slowing purchase interest in electric vehicles, according to J.D. Power......»»
Seaweed farming may help tackle global food insecurity
To help solve hunger and malnutrition while also slowing climate change, some farmers could shift from land to sea, suggests a recent study from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. The study was published in Globa.....»»
Ocean Currents Are Slowing, With Potentially Devastating Effects
Melting Antarctic ice is disrupting the movement of deep seawater, which could further destabilize weather patterns around the world......»»
Cell-membrane coated nanoparticles light up two cancer biomarkers at once to give more complete picture of tumor
Cancer surgeons may soon have a more complete view of tumors during surgery, thanks to new imaging agents that can illuminate multiple biomarkers at once, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers report. The fluorescent nanoparticles, wrap.....»»
Amount of warming triggering carbon dioxide in air hits new peak, growing at near-record fast rate
The cause of global warming is showing no signs of slowing as heat-trapping carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere increased to record highs in its annual Spring peak, jumping at one of the fastest rates on record, officials announced Monday......»»
Antarctic alarm bells: Observations reveal deep ocean currents are slowing earlier than predicted
Antarctica sets the stage for the world's greatest waterfall. The action takes place beneath the surface of the ocean. Here, trillions of tons of cold, dense, oxygen-rich water cascade off the continental shelf and sink to great depths. This Antarcti.....»»
Dangerous slowing of Antarctic ocean circulation sooner than expected
Climate change-driven shifts in the circulation of waters to the deepest reaches of the ocean around Antarctica, which could reverberate across the planet and intensify global warming, are happening decades "ahead of schedule", according to new resea.....»»
New Alzheimer’s Drugs Offer Subtle Benefits—With Real Risks
Antibody treatments clear amyloid protein from patients’ brains, slowing the progression of their disease but potentially inducing deadly swelling......»»
Slowing the aging of the intestine in fish slows the aging of the entire organism, discover scientists
Is it possible to extend lifespan by simply slowing the aging of an organ, such as the intestine? CNRS researchers have discovered how to extend the life expectancy of zebrafish by reactivating a gene within intestinal cells. The results were publish.....»»
Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” sees pedestrian, chooses not to slow down
Fan is gleeful about video of beta Full Self-Driving mode breaking traffic laws. Enlarge / This Tesla can clearly detect the pedestrian as they appear on the infotainment display. But the car continues past them, only slowing fro.....»»
Methylated cyclodextrin effectively prevents the crystallization of supersaturated drugs
In the medicine market, most newly introduced drugs and drug candidates show poor water solubility, which prevents their absorption in the body. This, in turn, limits their therapeutic efficiency. Solubilizing agents such as cyclodextrins (CDs) are c.....»»
