Trump added twice as much to the national debt as Biden: Analysis
TOBIAS BURNS, - The Hill

New method to degrade PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ found effective in the lab
Per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known as “forever chemicals” because they are notoriously resistant to degradation.

Researchers illuminate the evolution of firefly lights
The leading hypothesis for the origin of firefly lights has been overturned by a genomic analysis. It had been posited that the bright lights emitted by many species in the Lampyridae family of beetles—better known as fireflies—first evolved as a warning signal to predators, advertising the toxicity of fireflies, and were then repurposed as a mating signal. This explanation would account for why eggs, larvae, and pupae also glow. ⌘ Read more
