New process turns plastic waste into hydrogen fuel while trapping the carbon

Plastic is found throughout modern life, from water bottles and shopping bags to vehicle dashboards. Once these products are thrown away, however, they become extremely difficult to recycle. Conventional recycling often requires workers or machines to separate plastics by type, adding expense and complexity to the process. These challenges help…

Scientists discover why poor sleep may harm some brains more

New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) suggests that sleep habits and genetics may interact to influence subtle brain and cognitive changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease years before noticeable symptoms develop. The study, conducted by ECU’s Centre for Precision Health (CPH), examined the aquaporin-4 (AQP4) gene. This gene helps control…

A 42-year-old childhood obesity theory may be wrong

New findings challenge a 42-year-old theory about why children’s body mass index (BMI) declines after infancy and then begins climbing steadily from about age 6. The pattern has long been described as the “adiposity rebound,” based on the idea that body fat first decreases and then returns. However, the new…

Black holes may spit out nearly as much matter as they swallow

Astronomers led by the University of Warwick have uncovered what they describe as a kind of cosmic digestive system around a black hole. Their observations show that even when a black hole appears faint, it may still be actively expelling large amounts of matter rather than simply swallowing everything nearby.…

AI can tell if your brain is aging faster than you are
