The fishermen are not impressed.Show me the caustic sodaResearchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution want to dump 6,600 gallons of sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda or lye, into the ocean off the coast of Cape Cod in an effort to slow climate change.The unorthodox plan is likely to face significant headwinds not only from U.S. regulators, but also from local fishing communities and environmentalists. Local news stations WBUR Reports.The idea is deceptively simple: increase the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere above by diluting the extremely basic chemicals in seawater, a process known as…

JWST three-color image of Cassiopeia A showing carbon monoxide (CO in green) versus argon plumes (red) and synchrotron radiation (blue). The image shows that there is more CO gas than argon gas in the outer layers, meaning that CO molecules are reforming after the backbombardment. Credit: SETI Institute The SETI Institute has announced the latest findings from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) investigation of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). These observations of the youngest known core-collapse supernova in the Milky Way galaxy provide insight into the conditions that lead to the formation and destruction of molecules and…

summary: Modulating melanocortin proteins in the brain increases the effectiveness of GLP-1 diabetes and weight loss drugs: inhibiting MC3R or activating MC4R made mice more sensitive to these drugs, resulting in more pronounced weight loss and reduced food intake without additional side effects.This discovery has the potential to improve outcomes for patients taking GLP-1 drugs. Further research and clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings in humans.Key Facts:Melanocortin Proteins: MC3R and MC4R regulate feeding behavior and energy balance.Improved drug susceptibility: Modulating these proteins increases the effectiveness of GLP-1 drugs by up to five-fold.Potential applications in humans: The findings in…
