Neurological diseases such as persistent depression, Parkinson’s, and other mental illnesses may now be treated at home following a collaboration between researchers at the University of Queensland. Using a remote care platform created by Queensland Brain Institute, Abbott Neuromodulation, and Neurosciences Queensland, patients may obtain therapy from anywhere in the globe. Lead researcher said patients no longer need to contact their doctor in person to change their gadgets because of

More carbon is stored in the soil of the Earth than there is carbon stored in the atmosphere, which is a significant difference. A major amount of the carbon in soil is in the form of organic carbon, which is referred to as soil carbon. Humans have an impact on how quickly organic carbon can be created or lost in soils, which is different from the impact of inorganic carbon

A recent study finds that 60% of all primates are endangered. For the first time, 31 primatologists investigated every known primate. Seventy-five percent of primates are endangered. Hunting, mining, and lack of farming are blamed for the low numbers. The population has shrunk dramatically in the last decade. Since 2000, 85 new primate species have been found. China has identified a new gibbon species, raising the total to 505. Seven

Putting a damp towel over one’s head in the sweltering summer heat is a common remedy. As a substance changes from one state of matter to another, such as solid, liquid, or gas, phase-change material emits or absorbs energy in the process. A phase-change material that absorbs heat when evaporating, i.e. as it changes from liquid to gaseous form, water cools the moist towel Due to a transition in society

A “kilonova”—the merging of two neutron stars accompanied by intense gamma-ray bursts—was discovered by astronomers in 2017. Three and a half years after the kilonova explosion, astrophysicists have found unusual X-rays they believe might be the first evidence of a kilonova “afterglow.” This might have been a first detection of stuff going into a newly created black hole, according to astrophysicists. Laser interferometry is used by LIGO to detect gravitational

The new common name for Lymantria dispar, now known as spongy moth, has been welcomed by scientists. However, they are still working to stop the spread of the invasive bug. Leaf-eating moths may cause substantial damage or even death to a wide range of plants and shrubs. There is a yearly aerial spraying campaign by the state’s Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection against the moth. There are 57
