The chemicals can be destroyed with clever chemistry outside of the lab
Scientists at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada have discovered a new way to break the bond between a molecule and its constituent. Researchers used carbon-hydrogen absorption to break the bond and the overall molecule down to smaller constituent parts. “This is a first step toward a solar-powered approach,” a researcher said.
Revised historical record has a different view on global warming
To derive uncertainty ranges, we compared the ocean and land temperature reconstructions obtained independently from the Had SST4 dataset and the CRUTEM5 dataset. The observationally derived ( Delta widehatbfT_rmOtext-rmL,rmCMIP6rmGMST), including the error realisations, was compared with the equivalently masked reconstruction range of ocean and land temperatures in the CMIP6 models.
Human body mysteries are being explored by cellular atlases
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have built a human neural organoid cell atlas of over 1.7 million cells using a combination of transcriptomic technologies. The atlas was powered by 36 single-cell RNA-sequencing data sets, and was created using a computational approach. Researchers inferred the origin of metaplastic cells by looking at the data sets and comparing them with stem cells.
A GOP lawmaker has introduced a Capitol bathroom rule

Compounding pharmacies have been making copies of semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mouniaro and Zepbound) for more than two years, a report said. Currently, two of the drugs cannot legally be compounded, but the FDA will turn a blind eye to the practice while it evaluates whether it was right to end the shortage earlier this fall.
The U.S. confirms that Ukraine fired long-range projectiles at Russia for the first time
Ukraine fired a US Army Tactical Missile System for the first time into Russia on Monday, reports said. Earlier in the day, Russia’s military said that it fired a missile into Ukraine’s territory following an artillery barrage. This comes after the US eased restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range Western weaponry to target inside Russia.
Biden gave a gift to Ukraine, which could help Trump
Russia on Tuesday tested the US-made Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) for the first time, according to reports. The system has a relatively limited range of around 190 kilometres. The US had announced in September that it would permit Ukraine to use Western weapons to strike deep inside Russia. This comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin said that NATO will be at war with Russia.
