New research reveals that the Holm oak acorn has a high content of starch, unsaturated fatty acids, fiber, and minerals, as well as a rich spectrum of phenolic compounds. Scientists propose tree selection and the development of acorn products as gluten-free, sustainable functional food linked to Mediterranean forest ecosystems and a diverse acorn microbiome.
A new study from mit reveals how eco-driving, powered by artificial intelligence, can reduce CO2 emissions at intersections by 11-22%. Even a small application of this technology brings huge benefits, reduces fuel consumption and congestion, and does not require large investments in infrastructure. Discover how smart driving is changing the future of cities.
New research from MIT scientists provides quantitative evidence for the first time that island rivers shape vital passages in coral reefs. By analyzing data for the Society Islands, such as Tahiti and Bora Bora, it was discovered how rivers, through mechanisms of incision and aggradation, create channels crucial for the health and survival of these marine ecosystems
At the very beginning of the summer, a traditional eco-action of cleaning the seabed was held in Bakar, which brought together a record number of 250 participants, including 90 divers from Croatia and neighboring countries. As part of Margaret's summer, over 10 cubic meters of waste were extracted, confirming Copper's commitment to ecological revitalization.
Scientists from the Ruđer Bošković Institute are leading the fight for the health of the Adriatic. From developing systems to predict meteorological tsunamis and testing methods to combat climate change to restoring destroyed habitats and stopping invasive species, their work is crucial for the future of our sea and the safety of the coast
The latest research reveals how biofilm, a sticky layer created by microorganisms, unexpectedly reduces microplastic deposition. Learn why bare sand beds of rivers and seas have been identified as potential pollution hotspots and how this discovery directs future efforts to protect aquatic ecosystems.
