A new study published in Science reveals that over 50% of the world’s largest lakes are experiencing water loss due to climate change and unsustainable human consumption. However, the research provides hope by offering insights into lake water storage trends and their causes. By combining satellite observations and models, scientists can now provide valuable information to water managers and communities on how to safeguard vital water sources and regional ecosystems. The study’s comprehensive assessment highlights the urgency of incorporating human consumption, climate change, and sedimentation impacts into sustainable water resource management, with the aim of reducing large-scale declines in lake water storage.

Revolutionary Brain-Spine Interface Enables Paralyzed Man to Walk Again
Gert-Jan Oskam, who suffered a debilitating cycling accident twelve years ago, is now walking again with the help of a groundbreaking brain-spine interface device. Developed by neuroscientist GrĂ©goire Courtine and his team, the device uses implants in Oskam’s skull to detect electrical activity in his brain’s cortex when he thinks about walking. The information is […]
CRISPR Gene-Editing Tool: A New Hope for Genetic Disorders
Scientists have created a compact and efficient gene-editing tool, called engineered AsCas12f, smaller than the common Cas9 enzyme. It was tested successfully in mice, demonstrating promise for treating genetic disorders like hemophilia. The key advantage is that it can be packed more efficiently into delivery systems, potentially advancing gene therapy for humans. However, further research […]
