Uncovering the Link Between Alcohol and Profenofos Poisoning

January 14, 2025

In Sri Lanka, many people accidentally or intentionally consume profenofos, an insecticide, and often mix it with alcohol. This makes treating their poisoning much harder. Doctors want to know how alcohol levels in the blood affect the poisoning and how the body processes profenofos. They're trying

UV-Aged Plastic Bits Boost Mercury Harm in Marine Tiny Crustaceans Over Generations

January 14, 2025

Imagine tiny plastic bits exposed to sun's UV light. These bits, called nanoplastics, can change over time, affecting how they interact with metals like mercury. But what happens when these aged nanoplastics meet mercury, and how does it impact marine life? A study looked into this with a tiny crust

Magnetic Materials: A Tale of Two Universality Classes

January 13, 2025

Imagine a material that can switch between two magnetic states, like flipping a switch. This happens when the material gets hotter, and scientists call this the Curie temperature. Understanding this switch is tricky because it happens on tiny scales that conventional tools can't easily see. In this

The Power of Ions: How They Affect Graphene Supercapacitors

January 13, 2025

Graphene-based supercapacitors are impressive in storing energy. But understanding how ions interact at the nanoscale with graphene is still puzzling scientists. To solve this, researchers used two types of graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs), one with no substrate (SF-GFETs) and another with
