Coffee Grounds Could Help Prevent Neurodegenerative Diseases One Day
Caffeic-acid based Carbon Quantum Dots (CACQDs), which can be derived from used coffee grounds, could potentially protect brain cells from the damage caused by neurodegenerative diseases if they are spotted early enough, theorize scientists from the University of Texas in El Paso.

New Report Finds U.S. Warming Faster, Facing Costly Disaster
The United States now experiences a $1 billion weather or climate disaster every three weeks, and a risk to one region affects other regions as well, as when wildfire smoke drifts long distances or food supply chains are disrupted by flooded agricultural land.

The World’s Boreal Forests May Be Shrinking From Climate Change
The boreal region’s soils have long buffered the planet against warming by storing huge quantities of carbon and keeping it out of the atmosphere.
