At present, more than 700 million people live with caloric hunger, and more than 2 billion suffer from micronutrient deficiencies, known as "hidden hunger." By prioritizing high yield over nutritional quality, global calorie production has increased while exacerbating vitamin and

Training in computational thinking can improve a student's ability to tackle complex problems, according to research in the International Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning, which examined both students' perceptions of their own skills and their demonstrated performance. The

A new study from scientists at Purdue University reports that far-red radiation, in combination with increased carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration, significantly enhances biomass production in young leaf lettuce grown under controlled environments, offering practical guidance for

In the northern hemisphere, the summer season is rolling in, and the heat is on the rise. For horses, these high temperatures also mean an increased risk of respiratory issues, such as recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN).

Wildlife at risk as demand for cropland and water grows to feed 50% rise in farmed animals, campaign alliance saysThe number of mammals and poultry farmed worldwide has increased by half in the last two decades, research shows, and the amount of cropland used for feeding livestoc

Gentle purchase incentives can lead customers to choose groceries with higher animal husbandry standards more often. A recent study at the University of Bonn at least suggests this. The researchers used two different animal welfare label posters as "nudges." Each poster changed t

Adolescents experiencing social isolation or loneliness are at increased risk of developing mental health problems, highlighting the need for preventive interventions before these challenges worsen. However, relatively few psychoeducational programs specifically address isolation

Over generations, a small North American frog has learned how to survive in a world that's getting increasingly saltier. But new research from the University of Missouri suggests that adaptation comes with an unexpected trade-off.

New roads bring changes to the regions they traverse. They can enable job opportunities, access to medicine and health care, and electricity. But they also disrupt local ecosystems and can have surprising consequences for human health, including increased disease risk.

As drought strains water supplies across much of the United States, Virginia Tech researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to help policymakers manage growing competition between agriculture and semiconductor manufacturing. Feras Batarseh, associa

Portable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) biosensors offer a rapid, low-cost way to detect microcystin-lysine-arginine (MC-LR), an extremely potent toxin produced by cyanobacteria during harmful algal blooms in freshwater. Even at low concentrations, MC-LR can damage the li

Untreated synthetic dye effluents severely threaten aquatic ecosystems by blocking sunlight, depleting dissolved oxygen and releasing compounds with potential ecological toxicity. Among the various treatment strategies, biological treatment is considered a cost-effective and envi
