"...7000 steps per day is associated with clinically meaningful improvements in health outcomes and might be a more realistic and achievable target for some."

Fossil fuels “have run out of road,” despite best efforts of lobbyists, says UN chief Fossil fuels have “run out of road”, the head of the United Nations says, with the price of renewable energy now so cheap the energy transition cannot be stopped.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.”

Picture of a golden NMR coil.

The coil is the heart of every NMR probe. It is used to send pulses and receive signals from the NMR-active nuclei. Its material and design directly affect NMR resolution and sensitivity, making it a crucial component of any NMR spectrometer.
