Noise pollution, an often overlooked form of environmental degradation, poses significant threats to wildlife and their natural habitats.
Antipsychotic drugs may be prescribed for people with dementia who develop aggression and psychosis.
Chimpanzees and bonobos are often thought to reflect two different sides of human nature—the conflict-ready chimpanzee versus the peaceful bonobo—but a new study published in Current Biology shows that, within their own communities, male bonobos are more frequently aggressive than male chimpanzees. For both species, more aggressive males had more mating opportunities.
A team of international researchers studied galaxy NGC 4383, in the nearby Virgo cluster, revealing a gas outflow so large that it would take 20,000 years for light to travel from one side to the other.
American Lung Association’s State of the Air report states nearly 131 million people are exposed to ozone and particle pollutionNearly four in 10 people in the US are exposed to unhealthy levels of air pollution, a new report has found. Four of the five most polluted cities are in California, where wildfires, drought and extreme heat are driving the rise in hazardous air quality.More than 131 million people are exposed to harmful ozone and particle (PM 2.5) pollution, according to the American...
New research led by Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, suggests that international sailing events should try to reduce the underwater noise they create to avoid impacting marine wildlife.
The universe's early galaxies were less chaotic and developed much faster than previously thought, according to new research looking back more than ten billion years in time. An international team of astronomers led by Durham University, UK, has used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to find evidence of bar formation when the universe was only a few billion years old.
From a modern, scientific perspective, the wine Romans drank is often seen as an inconsistent, poorly made and thoroughly unpleasant beverage. It is alleged that Roman winemakers had to mask their products' flaws by adding spices, herbs and other ingredients to the freshly pressed grape juice, which is known as "must."
I had always been sure I wanted to get married, and the longer I dated Dean, the more sure I was that he was the right one for me.
One of my favorite movies is Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 classic “High and Low.” It’s not a samurai film; it’s a contemporary story based on an Ed McBain novel. It neatly divides into halves: one half a kidnapping drama and the other half a police procedural about finding the kidnapper.
These Are The Most-Polluted Countries In The World Almost the entire global population breathes air that exceeds the air quality limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO). In this graphic, Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu maps the world’s most polluted countries according to IQAir, ranked by their annual average PM2.5 concentration (μg/m³) in 2023. The unit μg/m³ refers to micrograms per cubic meter. What is PM2.5? PM2.5 refers to fine particulate matter, with a diameter...
A couple of months ago, I stopped by a fast food place on my way home from church to grab lunch. As I was walking across the parking lot, a large family of two grandparents and six grandkids walked in. The wife was in front of me in line as the husband wrangled the grandchildren and sat them down at tables.
