Forget harsh bleach—scientists have discovered that powerful blue LED light can erase yellow stains from sweat, food, and oils without harming delicate fabrics like silk. By harnessing oxygen in the air as a natural oxidizer, the technique breaks down stubborn pigments such as beta carotene and lycopene, outshining hydrogen peroxide and even UV treatments. Forget …
Flathead catfish are rapidly reshaping the Susquehanna River’s ecosystem. Once introduced, these voracious predators climbed to the top of the food chain, forcing native fish like channel catfish and bass to shift diets and habitats. Using stable isotope analysis, researchers uncovered how the invaders disrupt food webs, broaden dietary overlaps, and destabilize energy flow across …
