Okra, fenugreek extracts remove most microplastics from water

The substances behind the slimy strings from okra and the gel from fenugreek seeds could trap microplastics better than a commonly used synthetic polymer. Previously, researchers proposed using these sticky natural polymers to clean up water. Now, they report that okra and/or fenugreek extracts attracted and removed up to 90% of microplastics in ocean water, freshwater and groundwater.

Гром зимой: отзовет ли GlobalSign TLS-сертификаты у «до 20.000 российских сайтов»?

Поговаривают, что 13 июня GlobalSign вслед за Let’s Encrypt начал без объявления войны отзыв TLS-сертификатов у российских сайтов. Что характерно, хотя вой поднялся до небес и версии выдвигаются самые разнообразные, вплоть до очередного жидомасонскогобандеровского заговора, названия конкретных пострадавших сайтов никто не приводит, их количеством никто не пугает. Сообщается лишь, что отзыв может затронуть «до 20.000 российских сайтов». Может затронуть, а может и 0 – это тоже «до 20.000».Минцифры тут же... Read more

The largest review ever conducted on opioids for acute pain found that these widely prescribed drugs often deliver only small, short-lived benefits. For many common conditions, including some surgeries and kidney stone pain, opioids performed no better than a placebo.

Scientists have uncovered a hidden immune system "brake" that may help cancers avoid being destroyed. The molecule, called SLAMF6, weakens the body's cancer-fighting T cells and can leave them exhausted over time. Researchers developed antibodies that block this brake, allowing immune cells to stay stronger and attack tumors more effectively in mice. Read more

A surprising study suggests that chemicals introduced to protect the ozone layer may have unintentionally created a growing global pollution problem. Researchers found that refrigerants and certain anesthetic gases have generated more than 335,000 tonnes of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a highly persistent "forever chemical," that has been deposited across Earth's surface since 2000. The pollutant is now showing up everywhere from rainwater to remote Arctic ice, and scientists expect levels... Read more
