More than half of the lakes around the world are loosing water
Posted on 26 June, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary: A recent study found that 53 percent of the greatest freshwater lakes on earth are in decline and are now retaining less water than they did thirty years ago. The study measured changes in water levels in roughly 2,000 of the largest lakes and reservoirs in the globe using satellite measurements spanning decades. It was discovered that human consumption, sedimentation, and climate change are to blame .
However, the lead author, former CIRES visiting fellow and current climate...
How water pumping change the Earth's surface?
Posted on 28 June, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary: A recent study found that the Earth tilted about 80 centimeters (31.5 inches) east between 1993 and 2010 due to human activity in extracting water out of the earth and transporting it to other locations.
Scientists previously calculated that between 1993 and 2010, humanity pumped 2,150 gigatons of groundwater, or more than 6 millimeters (0.24 inches), of sea level increase, based on climate models. It's challenging to verify that estimate, though.
One method involves using...
Climate change, causing oceans to become more green
Posted on 16 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Highlights;
More than half of the world's oceans have become greener over the past 20 years, likely due to global warming. This was determined by analyzing 20 years of data on ocean color from NASA's Aqua satellite.
The greening indicates increased phytoplankton and algae in the surface waters. Phytoplankton contain chlorophyll which makes the ocean appear greener.
The tropical and subtropical waters between 40°S and 40°N latitude changed the most in color. These areas...
The Alzheimer's medication donanemab highly effective at early stages
Posted on 19 July, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary:
Donanemab is an investigational Alzheimer's drug that showed promise in a new clinical trial. It decreased disease progression in patients with early stage Alzheimer's compared to a placebo. However, it was less effective in those with more advanced disease or a genetic risk factor.
Donanemab targets amyloid plaques in the brain, which are thought to cause damage in Alzheimer's. It cleared about 90% of amyloid in the trial.
The drug can cause a side effect called ARIA,...
Creating an Innovative, Solid, Air Working Battery
Posted on 30 June, 2023 by benyamin chahkandi
Summary: Typically, negative electrodes in batteries are made of active materials like metals. Rechargeable metal-air batteries with oxygen-reducing positive electrodes have recently used redox-active organic compounds, such as quinone- and amine-based molecules, as negative electrodes. Here, the redox reactions involve protons and hydroxide ions. These batteries operate well and are almost at their theoretical maximum capacity. Furthermore, using redox-active organic molecules in...
