Common forever chemicals linked to nearly double the rate of aggressive breast cancer

Science via ScienceDaily
Quick Read

An NIH study found that women with high levels of two common “forever chemicals” had up to 93% higher rates of an aggressive form of breast cancer. The discovery raises concerns about the potential health effects of persistent chemicals found in everyday products.

How potentials and electric fields together control reactions on catalyst surfaces

Researchers at the Interface Science Department (ISC) have shown that electrochemical reactions at solid-solution interfaces can be impacted by two closely related, yet, distinct factors. The applied potential can drive a reaction forward. Additionally, electric fields in the extended environment can modulate the ensembles that determine the activation parameters, without necessarily constituting a thermodynamic driving force themselves.

Earth’s fiery birth may have created hundreds of oceans’ worth of water

Earth's water may have been born in the planet's fiery atmosphere rather than delivered by icy comets or asteroids. Scientists discovered that rocky pebbles reacting with hydrogen under extreme heat can produce water in minutes, potentially generating hundreds of oceans' worth during Earth's formation. The findings suggest that water may be a natural part of how rocky planets form, rather than something that must arrive from space.

From Romania to Kazakhstan, summer droughts linked to less winter ice in two rapidly warming seas

This summer, with its scarce rainfall and repeated heat waves, witnessed one of the most severe droughts in Europe since 1540. The resulting wildfires across western Europe received considerable media attention, but eastern Europe was also heavily hit, worsening the humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. Simulations have shown that such droughts are bound to become more frequent and severe in the future due to man-made global warming.
