A recent study reveals that despite the massive rainfall in California in 2023, the state’s aquifers have barely been recharged due to decades of drought and human pumping. The research, led by William Ellsworth, used seismic waves to map the water infiltration in the aquifers, showing that only about 25% of the water lost since…
Meta, despite announcing plans to cut 5% of its employees, is expanding in India by setting up a new site in Bengaluru, the country’s tech hub. The company is currently hiring for 41 positions, mostly software and machine learning engineer jobs, and roles focused on designing chips for Meta’s data centers. This move represents a…
Researchers at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Spain have developed a “sneeze simulator” that uses a three-dimensional model of the nasal cavity to study how respiratory illnesses spread. The simulator can replicate different sneeze intensities and investigate how the nasal cavity affects aerosol cloud dispersion. This breakthrough could lead to improved predictive models for…
The Trump administration’s changes to the federal government have sent shockwaves through the research community in the United States and beyond. The team at Nature has been covering the impact of these changes on science, from cuts to NIH grants to the removal of gender-related terms from scientific papers. As the situation continues to unfold,…
Scientists have discovered that a pure form of cellulose produced by bacteria can act as a plant bandage, significantly boosting healing and regeneration in plants. This breakthrough finding has potential implications for agriculture and plant research, with possible applications in facilitating grafting, preserving cut plant material, or serving as a growth medium in laboratories. Forecast…
