The timing – on the day the Ocean of Peace Alliance treaty was signed with Fiji – reads as provocation at best, coercion at worstChinese government tells critics not to ‘overinterpret’ missile test in Pacific as criticism growsAt 12.01pm on Monday, a People’s Liberation Army Navy

Microplastic contamination has been a much-discussed topic over the last several years, but contamination from even smaller plastic particles represents another pressing issue. Nanoplastics—defined as being under a micrometer in diameter—may pose an even higher ecological risk be

For the first time, researchers have filmed the elusive goblin shark alive in the deep ocean where it naturally lives. The remarkable sightings greatly expand the shark's known range and depth, showing that this 125-million-year-old "living fossil" still has plenty of secrets lef

Ready meals containing fish and seafood can expose consumers to chemical contaminants that are present in the environment or introduced during processing and packaging. A study by the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) has, for the first time, analyzed the presence of a wide rang

This week, researchers reported finding nanoplastics in Antarctic soils for the first time, suggesting they were delivered via long-range atmospheric transport. A study associates the use of hormonal birth control with the risk of brain tumors. And researchers developed a new dru

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are used in everything from household lighting and mobile phones to large display screens. Improving their efficiency could reduce energy use and enhance performance across a wide range of technologies. A new study involving researchers from the Unive

Materials with magnetic nanostructures have a wide range of potential applications. One area is so-called spintronics, with devices that encode information in magnetic domains. These magnetic bits can be written, read and erased in a more energy-efficient way than bits in current

In a study recently published in the journal Environmental Research, scientists from the University of Sharjah have drawn renewed attention to contamination by polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a class of man-made chemicals formerly used as flame retardants in a wide range

A new study finds a widely used technique for assessing the health of freshwater streams is not effective at detecting a range of water quality problems, including those related to acidity, oxygen levels and the presence of pathogens.

Goleiro que se destacou na partida contra o São Paulo foi o primeiro do elenco azulino a se pronunciar após a folga de 15 dias concedida durante a pausa da Copa do Mundo.

Nova composição da gasolina deve passar a ter 32% de etanol Marcello Casal Jr./Agência Brasil O Conselho Nacional de Política Energética (CNPE) deve se reunir nesta terça-feira (14) para anunciar o aumento da mistura de etanol anidro na gasolina, de 30% para 32%. A medida vem sendo discutida por integrantes do governo nos últimos meses. Especialistas, no entanto, avaliam que a medida pode aumentar o risco de desgaste em motores mais antigos ou sem calibração específica para ess
