Plastic can take up to 1,000 years to break down, so it builds up in the environment, damaging soil, poisoning groundwater, and choking marine wildlife. Microplastics enter the human body with the potential to cause serious health impacts – and have even been found in the placentas of ...
Acute induction of senescence is a protective response that, by restricting the replication of damaged cells, limits cancer and fibrosis. However, senescent cells accumulating during aging contribute to many pathologies3. The selective killing of p16INK4a-positive senescent cells (senolysis) in aged n...
10,12) and CO millimetre emission lines13 respectively, as well as a knotty and wiggling bipolar jet in SiO14. At its core is HH 211-mm, a Class 0 protostar that is currently only 0.08 M⊙ in mass15 but in the process of accreting from a 0.2 M⊙ torus of gas and dust ...
Anther human activity leading to earthquakes is hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂) for oil and gas. In this process, water, sand, and chemicals are forced to flow underground under high pressure to fracture rocks to let natural resources out. As those resources, such as oil and natural gas, make...
Sally Morrison, CMO of Lightbox, elucidates further. 'The difference is that while a natural diamond is made over billions of years and comes from deep in the ground, a lab-grown diamond is literally made in a factory over a period of about two weeks. It's something less precious, maybe...
Risk communication interventions during epidemics aim to modify risk perceptions to achieve rapid shifts in population health behaviours. Exposure to frequent and often concurrent epidemics may influence how the public and health professionals perceive a
Water is found in all three states on Earth which are gas, liquid, and solid. As gas, water is found as water vapor in the atmosphere. In liquid form water is found in streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, and oceans along with mist in the air and as dew on the surface of the ground....
