Paving the way to cleaner skies: Advancements in diesel emission reduction strategies
Biochar Editorial Office, Shenyang Agricultural UniversityDiesel engines have long been a cornerstone of transportation and industry, but their emissions have posed significant environmental and health challenges. A new study titled "Advancements in Diesel Emission Reduction Strategies: A Focus on Water-in-Diesel Emulsion Technology" explores innovative solutions to reduce harmful emissions while enhancing engine performance. This research delves into the potential of water-in-diesel emulsion (WiDE) technology, offering a promising pathway to a cleaner, more efficient future.

Unveiling the hidden impact: Brown carbon from shipping emissions and its warming effect
Biochar Editorial Office, Shenyang Agricultural UniversityShipping is a vital component of global trade, but its environmental impact extends beyond the well-known emissions of carbon dioxide. A new study titled "Global Distribution and Warming Effect of Brown Carbon from Shipping Emissions" sheds light on the often-overlooked role of brown carbon in contributing to global warming. This research provides a comprehensive analysis of the distribution and radiative effects of brown carbon, a pollutant emitted by ships that has significant climate implications.

The oldest traces of blue indigo on 34,000-year-old grinding tools: New Scenarios for the use of plants in the Palaeolithic
Università Ca' Foscari VeneziaStudy coordinated by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice opens new perspectives on the complex behaviour of prehistoric human populations. It’s the first time that the indigotin molecule has been found on such ancient artefacts, demonstrating the processing of Isatis tinctoria L., a non-edible plant: hypotheses are open on its use as a dye or medicine.

Targeting Wnt/β-catenin signaling shows promise against glioblastoma
Compuscript LtdGlioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive form of brain tumor with a poor prognosis. Despite advances in neurosurgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, it remains treatment-resistant and inevitably recurs. The molecular mechanisms underlying glioma development and progression are still poorly understood, and there is an urgent need for more effective therapeutic approaches.
