Avocado browning is due to enzyme oxidation. Prevent it by limiting oxygen exposure, lowering pH with citrus juice, and proper storage. Overripe avocados also become fibrous. Learn freshness tips!
Chris Packham discusses environmental damage, evolution, fossil fuel sponsorship, and activism. He emphasizes the need for change, equality, and challenging unsustainable practices for a sustainable future.
Archaeologists discovered 12,000-year-old rock art in Saudi Arabia, challenging previous assumptions about early human habitation and revealing advanced culture and adaptation to harsh desert conditions.
A new study shows medical marijuana (VER-01) can significantly improve sleep, physical function and relieve chronic pain, especially neuropathic pain. Minimal side effects and no signs of dependency were observed.
AI designed 16 viruses targeting E. coli, offering potential therapies for tough microbial infections. AI-generated bacteriophages can overcome virus-resistant E. coli strains, a promising strategy.
Transplants involve moving cells, tissues, or organs. This can be for medical reasons, like organ failure, or for conservation, like relocating coral reefs or organisms to new environments. A skin graft is also a type of transplant.
Scientists reclassify Blackbrookia fossils as Lydonia jiggamintia, a possible early Precambrian animal resembling a sponge. Named after a punk rocker, it offers insights into early life and filter feeding.
Science reveals how rewards, especially for animals, enhance memory recall. Research shows pairing weak memories with strong ones aids retention. Big events excite the mind, boosting new memory formation. Supporting climate journalism is also mentioned.
