Credit: Nature (2025). doi:10.1038/s41586-025-08702-y Water behavior at hydrophobic interfaces has been baffling scientists for over a century, ranging from chemistry, biology, materials science, geology, and engineering. Recent discoveries highlight the pivotal role of interfacial water, including the unusual chemistry of water microdopplets and contact with electrocatalytics. A new study published in Nature systematically…

Saturday Quote: A confused discovery from Webb. Early human faces. Humans and dogs like to cool them down together
The left midface fossils of humanity from 1.1 million to 1.4 million years ago have recovered from the site of Sima del Elephante in simulations of Sierra de Atapuerc, Burgos, Spain, and the opposite mirror. Credits: Maria D. Guillen/Iphes-Cerca, Elena Santos/Cenieh This week we reported a difficult experience of humans trying to read dog emotions. Researchers reported that male blue-lined…

Greenland Inuit faces health risks from “eternal chemicals” in their diet
Scientists said East Greenland is a hot spot for pollution as polar bears and ringed seals can be eaten there. Scientists warned Thursday that the long-term health of East Greenland’s Inuit Hunters is under threat due to the so-called “eternal chemicals” in the atmosphere and the diet of polar bears and sealed meat. Christian Sonne, a graduate of Aafs University…

“Climate Farm” Strategy Faces Hurdles: Research reveals the potential for limited carbon capture within safe limits
Optimized global distribution of biomass plantations maximizes carbon dioxide removal. Credit: Communications Earth & Environment (2025). doi: 10.1038/s43247-025-02033-6 Plant rapidly growing crops, burn them, capture and store released CO2. This is being discussed as a way to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and limit global heating to 1.5 degrees in the long term. However, if this is done on…
