Scientists are finding that particles that are barely there — tiny objects known as nanoparticles that have found a home in electronics, food containers, sunscreens, and a variety of applications — can breech our most personal protective barrier: the skin.

Pregnant women should think twice about high-fat foods. Scientists found that female mice fed high-fat diets were more likely to have oversized offspring (a risk factor for overweight and obesity) because fat causes the placenta to go into “overdrive” by providing too many nutrients to the fetus. This also suggests the reverse may be true [...]

“Laptops are very hot now, so hot that they are not ‘lap’ tops anymore,” says Avik Ghosh, an assistant professor of computer and electrical engineering at the University of Virginia. “If we continue at our current pace of miniaturization, these devices will be as hot as the sun in 10 to 20 years.” Ghosh is [...]

Discovery moves scientists a significant step closer to preventing blindness. Scientists have created the first genetic research model for a microscopic part of the eye that when missing causes blindness. The research appears in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

Scientists have released two new studies, including a report finding that climate change will cause significant impacts on Florida’s coastlines and economy due to increased sea level rise and hurricane storm surge. Property damage is expected to increase. A second study recommends that the state of Florida adopt a series of policy programs aimed at [...]
