The @RZLabKI presents a Proteome-Integrated Solubility Alteration assay for characterization of drug-protein interactions, useful for study of drug mechanisms during drug development. https://t.co/fmz2FwMIKi

I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to trigger a switch when they find a victim & come back for a tasty treat 🐀

This interesting article explains the use of stable water isotopes and the use of N¹⁵ and O¹⁸ isotopes to track nitrates in water to identify sources of ground water contamination. Worth reading! #geochemchat 🧪https://t.co/KZFVqzQt0A

Physicists sometimes find that complicated physics problems are simpler than they appear, so they have made a machine learning model to search for the simplicity. https://t.co/tfqNCIPxPu

Check out this article that suggest the moon is older than previously believed, The scientists used the relationship between the rare elements' hafnium, uranium and tungsten they constitute a natural radioactive clock #geochemchat

The CSIR’s quest to find a better cleaning technology to curtail the impact of Acid Mine Drainage on the environment resulted in the development of a treatment technology called magnesite softening reverse osmosis. #geochemchat. Check this article: https://t.co/xg8DfWBXDb

The University of Birmingham was
able to identify the nanostructure of molecules emmitted during cooking which slow down the breakup of organic aerosols and they could also predict the amount of time the aerosols may hang in that environment. #geochemchat https://t.co/TEus1yI68c

δ66Zn is used to determine seawater composition. Although this method works well for the current probing of the sea, this article shows that it does not work as well when applied to historic seawater studies.

If a person were to look at a white dwarf star, they would expect to see hydrogen and helium. But the data analysed showed other materials, such as silicon, magnesium, carbon, and oxygen. The material that accreted onto the white dwarfs from bodies that were orbiting them.

[YesDude @Yesdude_Wits]

Check out this article that details New method used to study planets’ geochemistry implies that Earth is not unique. Scientists Say that observing a white dwarf is like doing an autopsy on the contents of what it has gobbled in its solar system.https://t.co/fXXjnGpaZh

Check out this book chapter that summaries most topics tackled in the past weeks such as the age of the earth, decay chain from U isotope, carbon 14 dating and more. #geochemchat https://t.co/zVkB99F4GJ

Biomass is currently classed as “renewable”.

“Biomass-burning power plants actually produce more global warming CO2 than fossil fuel plants: 65% more CO2 per megawatt hour than modern coal plants and 285% more CO2 than gas combined cycle plants.” https://t.co/g61j4NHsYC

Scientists have hypothesized that radioactive molecules could be used as a tool to explore why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe,by using heavy radioactive molecules they can measure symmetry violations. #geochemchat

Scientists have been struggling to explain "why seashells mineral forms differently in seawater".The recent study shows that the reason behind that is due to ratio of Ca to Mg in the water that affects surface energy of Crystals.#geochemchat

@Witsgeochem 2. It was also mentioned that no one wants to be a horn labelled " radioactive " this should reduce the sale and poaching of horns significantly.

@Witsgeochem 1.Yes it is possible as stated in the article that radiation detection devices will be put at borders around the country which should be able to detect any object marked with a radioactive isotope,but criminals always find a way to smuggle items outside the country.
