New method greatly improves the speed and efficiency of membrane production, presenting promising solutions for addressing water purification issues. A team of NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) researchers has developed a novel approach that utilizes microwave technology to more easily synthesize and fine-tune a new type of membrane which effectively purifies water from a wide range of contaminants. The membrane synthesis technique takes a few minutes, making it one of the fastest methods for creating covalent organic framework (COF) membranes. These membranes act as filters in devices designed to clean polluted water from specific contaminants allowing its reuse in different applications – an important discovery at a time when efficient wastewater treatment becomes vital in a world threatened by water scarcity.

Consumer insecticide sprays provide “little to no value” against German cockroach infestations, researchers say. A study has found that most consumer insecticide sprays are ineffective against German cockroaches, with over 80% of these pests surviving exposure to common pyrethroid-based products. Researchers emphasize the need for better testing standards and more effective pest control strategies, including integrated pest management.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

The Next Full Moon is a Supermoon, a Blue Moon; the Sturgeon Moon; the Red, Corn, Green Corn, Barley, Herb, Grain, or Dog Moon; Raksha Bandhan or Rakhi Purnima; and Tu B’Av. August 2024 will feature a rare celestial event—a super blue Moon. This full Moon will be the first of four consecutive supermoons, offering the largest and brightest views of the year. Despite its name, the Blue Moon won’t appear blue but is so-called because it’s the third full Moon in a season with four. This lunar phase aligns with the Hindu festival Raksha Bandhan and coincides with several cultural events across different lunar calendars. Additionally, August presents excellent opportunities for stargazing, with Saturn’s optimal visibility and minor meteor showers adding to the celestial spectacle.

New research suggests that consuming over 400 mg of caffeine daily, a common habit among many, could elevate the risk of cardiovascular disease. The study, which analyzed caffeine’s effects on young, healthy adults, found that regular intake at this level disrupts the autonomic nervous system, leading to increased heart rate and blood pressure. The findings highlight the importance of moderating caffeine consumption to reduce the risk of hypertension and related cardiovascular conditions.

Boreal forests in Canada’s Northwest Territories have evolved to burn, but the increasing frequency of fires is putting ecosystems to the test. Canada’s northern boreal forests, reliant on periodic fires for renewal, are facing challenges from increased fire frequencies and climate extremes. Satellites play a vital role in tracking these fires, many of which burn unchecked due to their remote locations. The combination of drought and record temperatures has intensified these fires, threatening the resilience of these crucial ecosystems.
