Poor smoke does not equal poor risk: All solid fuels identified to produce ultrafine particles

Poor smoke does not equal poor risk: All solid fuels identified to produce ultrafine particles

University of Galway-led research has discovered that when low smoke manufactured fuels are burnt, they emit minute ultrafine particles which may be even more detrimental to human health. The Ryan Institute at the University conducted several controlled burn experiments with peat, wood, “low-smoke” manufactured products, such as “low-smoke” coal – since 2022, banned in domestic […]

India’s Silver Economy Emerges as ₹73,000 Crore Opportunity as Senior Citizens Double by 2050

India’s “silver economy”, the ecosystem of goods and services catering to the elderly, is rapidly transitioning from a niche social welfare concern into a formidable economic driver, currently valued at approximately ₹73,000 crore ($8.8 billion) and poised for explosive growth in the coming decades. With the country’s senior population projected to surge from 153 million […]

Newer ground water is linked with increased risk of Parkinson disease

Newer ground water is linked with increased risk of Parkinson disease

A new study has established that individuals whose drinking water was supplied by newer groundwater were at a greater risk of getting Parkinson disease as compared to those individuals whose drinking water was supplied by older ground water. The study does not prove that newer groundwater causes Parkinson’s; it only shows an association. Older groundwater […]

Market Failure? Samsung to Pull Plug on Galaxy Z TriFold After 3 Months of Launch

Samsung may end Galaxy Z TriFold sales within months due to high costs and limited production Strong demand was driven largely by scarcity rather than mass-market adoption Device likely served as a proof-of-concept for future foldable innovations Samsung expected to focus on mainstream foldables while refining next-gen designs Samsung is preparing to discontinue sales of […]

What makes lithium-ion batteries fail? Microscopic metal thorns give leads to scientists

What makes lithium-ion batteries fail? Microscopic metal thorns give leads to scientists

This is the first time that scientists have observed the growth of tiny metal thorns known as dendrites grow within lithium-ion batteries thus making the batteries short-circuit. Their results published Mar. 12 in the journal Science illuminate the hitherto unrecognized mechanical aspects of the lithium dendrites during their development. Lithium dendrites have been the subject […]

The Oil Shock Lesson: Why Energy Diversification Is Back On The Global Agenda

The Oil Shock Lesson: Why Energy Diversification Is Back On The Global Agenda

Energy crises have repeatedly reshaped the global economy, and the latest geopolitical tensions in the Gulf have revived concerns about the fragility of oil supply chains. Nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil consumption passes through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow maritime corridor connecting the Persian Gulf with international markets. Any disruption to shipping through […]

What are the conditions suitable for life on distant moons

What are the conditions suitable for life on distant moons

Liquid water is said to be a necessity to life. Amazingly, however, there could be conducive conditions of life far away in an area that is not near a sun. A group of researchers working on the Excellence Cluster ORIGINS at LMU and the Max Planck Institute of Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) has demonstrated how moons […]

Iran Rejects Claims of Allowing Indian Tankers Through Strait of Hormuz; Talks Still Underway, Says Jaishankar

Iran Rejects Claims of Allowing Indian Tankers Through Strait of Hormuz; Talks Still Underway, Says Jaishankar

Iran has categorically denied reports suggesting it gave special permission for India-flagged oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, dismissing the claims as unfounded amid the ongoing conflict that has choked the vital shipping lane since late February. The controversy erupted yesterday when several Indian news outlets reported that Tehran had quietly agreed […]

IEA Release of Emergency Reserves to Ease Oil Flow in 120 Days, Impact Seen in India Already

IEA Release of Emergency Reserves to Ease Oil Flow in 120 Days, Impact Seen in India Already

The International Energy Agency’s 32 member countries have unanimously agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil from emergency reserves, the largest such action in the agency’s history, following the US-Israel war on Iran that resulted in the latter choking Strait of Hormuz shipment flows to less than 10% of pre-conflict levels. Under the IEA […]

Oval orbit casts new light on black hole, neutron star mergers

Oval orbit casts new light on black hole, neutron star mergers

Scientists have uncovered the first robust evidence of a black hole and neutron star crashing together but orbiting in an oval path rather than a perfect circle just before they merged. This discovery challenges long-standing assumptions about how these cosmic pairs form and evolve. Researchers from the University of Birmingham, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and […]

How being squeezed contributes to risk of breast cancer cells

How being squeezed contributes to risk of breast cancer cells

A recent study conducted by scientists working in Adelaide University and published in the journal Science Advances has shown the reason as to why certain cancers may grow and survive the body, whereas others do not. It happens that the hard mechanical stress to which the early cancer cells undergo as they are squeezed into a […]
