Chemistry researchers have moved closer to what is considered the “holy grail” of climate change science, making the first-ever direct detection of biological particles within ice clouds. The team sampled water droplet and ice crystal residues at high speeds from an aircraft flying through clouds in the skies over Wyoming. Analysis of the ice crystals [...]

Improving the environment in which rats are reared can significantly strengthen the physiological process of wound healing, according to a new article. Researchers found that giving rats living in isolation the opportunity to build nests led to better healing of burn injuries than was seen in isolation-reared rats without nest-building materials.
