Everytime we sit down to eat food, we must remember that food scraps have been generated in the process. More often than not, these scraps are disposed in the dustbin or in black trash bags. But what if we choose to see this waste differently? VERMICOMPOSTING. For ages, before the advent of mineral fertilisers, our forefathers utilised a soil creature so effectively in boosting soil fertility.

The fight to stop Highway 413 isn’t over – it’s just beginning. . Despite running on a platform to pave over a chunk of the Greenbelt and thousands of acres of prime farmland, the re-elected Ontario government can’t start building Highway 413…yet. That’s because just over a year ago, the Federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change designated Highway 413 under the Impact Assessment Act.

An axial Higgs mode has been spotted within the collective quantum excitations of a solid material. Kenneth Burch at Boston College and colleagues in the US and China, discovered the quasiparticle cousin of the Higgs boson in a relatively simple tabletop experiment carried out at room temperature. In 2012, the discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider confirmed a prediction made nearly 50 years earlier about the mechanism by which some fundamental particles acquire mass.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Everyone knew something big was coming. Students had camped outside CERN ’s designated seminar hall overnight in the hope of grabbing one of the few unreserved seats. Finally, on the morning of 4 July 2012, the suspense was ended. Spokespeople for the large hadron collider’s two general purpose experiments, ATLAS and CMS , confirmed the rumours: both experimental teams had detected a “Higgs-like particle” and the masses were very similar.

Researchers have discovered a novel way to enhance the saltiness, and even potentially the savoriness, of low-sodium food using electrical stimulation of the tongue through a chopstick-shaped utensil.
