  • Studie stellt fest: „Ewige Chemikalien“ sind als Mischungen giftiger

    A landmark study by researchers at the University at Buffalo, in collaboration with Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Leipzig, Germany, has revealed a crucial finding about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” The study meticulously measured the toxicity levels of various PFAS when combined, disclosing that their collective toxicity…

  • Forscher bestätigen, dass El Niño beschleunigten Eisverlust bei tropischen Gletschern verursacht

    Researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking study linking El Niño to significant ice loss on the Quelccaya Ice Cap (QIC) in the Peruvian Andes, raising alarm over the future of high-mountain water resources and global climate patterns. El Niño, a climate phenomenon that occurs every two to seven years, warms ocean temperatures in the eastern Pacific,…

  • Warum Menschen denken, sie hätten immer Recht

    If you find yourself confidently asserting your opinion in a debate, a new study reveals you might be more mistaken than you think. Researchers from The Ohio State University, Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University have identified an intriguing human tendency they call the “illusion of information adequacy.” This phenomenon leads people to believe they…

  • Neue Studie zeigt, dass PFAS im Grundwasser über 40 Jahre lang bestehen bleiben können

    A recent study led by researchers at North Carolina State University reveals that per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS) could remain in the groundwater of Cumberland and Bladen counties in North Carolina for more than 40 years. The study shines a spotlight on the lingering effects of these persistent chemicals, which have been linked to serious…

  • Innovative Lösung zur Bekämpfung giftiger „ewiger Chemikalien“ in der Wasserversorgung

    In a significant breakthrough, researchers led by Iakovos Tzanakis from Oxford Brookes University have developed an innovative method to tackle one of the world’s most stubborn environmental threats — PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.” These chemicals, prevalent in everyday items and a known health hazard, have long eluded effective and sustainable removal strategies. A…

  • Study Offers Innovative Strategies to Enhance Student Well-Being

    Historically, universities have focused on academic success, but a recent study led by the University of Maine suggests that supporting student well-being can be just as transformative.
