High levels of short-chain PFAS found in blood of residents living near chemical facility
In a new study appearing in Environmental Science and Technology, researchers found high levels of ultrashort-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in blood samples taken from Wilmington, N.C. residents between 2010 and 2016. Two ultrashort-chain PFAS—perfluoromethoxyacetic acid (PFMOAA) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)—were detected at high levels in almost every sample.

The ocean conservation world has lost a giant. Kristina Gjerde, known as the "mother of the high seas," spent two decades building the coalitions that led to the historic 2023 UN High Seas Treaty—protecting biodiversity in international waters for the first time.
Her work became urgent as industrial activities threatened deep-sea ecosystems. She was 68.

Kristina Gjerde, defender of the deep ocean, has died
Half the planet lies outside any country’s border. In those waters, rules have long been thinner than the myths: freedom to fish meant freedom to take; “out of sight” became “out of mind.” The deep ocean and the high seas were treated as a backdrop to coastal concerns, even as they stored carbon and heat, […]

When a terrible idea comes from on high, there’s always pushback from the folks on the ground who actually understand how things work: the engineers at the computers, the teachers in the classrooms, the facilities crews, the kitchen staff, whatever. The folks who live their lives zoomed in on a specific thing may be missing the big picture, but they’re the ones who first see when a managerial notion will have execution problems.

Light yet strong material inspired by egg whites can cool devices faster

Diamonds,

To unlock the full potential of these sensors,
researchers need to understand the behavior of the material at the atomic level.
