Clean, safe water is a limited resource and access to it depends on local bodies of water. But even dry regions have some water vapor in the air. To harvest small amounts of humidity, researchers developed a compact device with absorbent-coated fins that first trap moisture and then generate potable water when heated. They say the prototype could help meet growing demands for water, especially in arid locations.
A new article encourages researchers to focus their attention on mixoplankton, providing a set of methodologies to help expand our understanding of this critically important component of the marine ecosystem.
Having the wrong investment asset mix can lead to big losses. Luckily, there are some easy ways to fix the issue.
NEW YORK (AP) — Former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger endorsed President Joe Biden on Wednesday, giving the Democrat a prominent new ally in his high-stakes campaign to win over moderate Republicans and independents this fall.

Four Baton Rouge police officers have been indicted by a Louisiana grand jury on charges alleging that they covered up the beating of a suspect in custody in 2020. Baton Rouge news outlets say the four were members of the Baton Rouge Police Department’s Street Crimes Unit, which was later disbanded. The episode was captured by body-worn cameras that the officers didn’t know were turned on. The charges come as the FBI pursues a civil rights investigation into allegations made in lawsuits last year... Читать дальше...
The combination of the international tournaments and Arne Slot’s need to assess Liverpool’s squad in pre-season could see new signings delayed until after June. By which point anyway the Dutchman’s transfer kitty could have been bolstered by around a further £100m or more judging by potential sales and commercial agreements. Football Insider have now been […]

Our cells and the machinery inside them are engaged in a constant dance. This dance involves some surprisingly complicated choreography within the lipid bilayers that comprise cell membranes and vesicles -- structures that transport waste or food within cells. In a recent paper, researchers shed some light on how these vesicles self-assemble, knowledge that could help scientists design bio-inspired vesicles for drug-delivery or inspire them to create life-like synthetic materials.
Traditional methods to assess balance often suffer from subjectivity, aren't comprehensive enough and can't be administered remotely. They also are expensive and require specialized equipment and clinical expertise. Using wearable sensors and advanced machine learning algorithms, researchers offer a practical and cost-effective solution for capturing detailed movement data, essential for balance analysis. This approach is more accessible and can be administered remotely, which could have significant implications for health care... Читать дальше...
Reaction to a photo posted online showing a boardroom with office furniture removed and replaced with an exercise bike and exercise bars has been swift, with one opposition city councillor questioning the mayor’s priorities.
Colossal undersea mountains, towering up to thousands of metres high, stir up deep sea currents: impacting how our ocean stores heat and carbon. An international team used numerical modelling to quantify how underwater turbulence around these mountains, called seamounts, influences ocean circulation; finding it is an important mechanism in ocean mixing and one that is missing from climate models used in policymaking.
Toronto police are asking for the public’s help in tracking down a man with a history of sexual assault who investigators allege hid a dead person’s body, and who may be a threat to vulnerable populations in the city.
A national position statement on emergency action plan development and implementation in sports from an athletic training researcher sets in motion new priorities for responding to catastrophic injuries. The recommendations apply to sports through all levels, from youth to high school to collegiate and professional leagues.
With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments.

BMW’s R80 is already a seriously cool motorcycle to ride around in the city in stock form. It’s the picture of simplicity with a boxer cylinder layout and shaft drive for easy maintenance and smooth riding. BMW proved these motorcycles were some of the most reliable and trustworthy with the off-road conquering G/S…

New biologist-designed shelters will help endangered frogs survive the devastating impacts of a deadly fungal disease by regulating their body temperature to fight off infections.
New research describes how nerve cells and muscle cells communicate through electrical signals during development -- a phenomenon known as bioelectricity. The communication, which takes place via specialized channels between cells, is vital for proper development and behavior. The study identifies specific genes that control the process, and pins down what happens when it goes wrong. The finding offers clues to the genetic origins of muscle disorders in humans.
Images show the banks along a Minnesota dam eroding after historic flooding in the Midwest. Water swept through the area of Mankato, destroying and absorbing a home and a park. CBS News' Tom Hanson reports.
The report by Inspector General Robert Devlin Jr., follows a 20-month investigation on deaths of Lt. Dustin DeMonte, 35, and Sgt. Alex Hamzy, 34.
