The relationship between carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in the atmosphere and tropical temperatures has long been a cornerstone of climate science. Traditional views have held that rising CO₂ levels are primarily driven by anthropogenic emissions and that these emissions would correlate closely with long-term temperature trends. However, a provocative new study from the Max Planck

The persistent rise in global temperatures, largely attributed to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, has sparked an urgent discourse on effective climate solutions. Carbon dioxide (CO2), a significant contributor to this dilemma, necessitates immediate attention not only for preventing further emissions but also for the removal of the substantial amounts already present in the atmosphere. Traditional

The landscape of transportation in Nepal is experiencing a groundbreaking transformation, reflected prominently in the decision of many taxi drivers to switch from traditional fossil fuel vehicles to electric ones. This shift from petrol to electric vehicles (EVs) was something unthinkable only a decade ago, when power outages plagued daily life in the Himalayan nation.

Pain is a universal experience that can be both debilitating and complex, affecting one’s physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Traditional pain management often focuses on pharmacological interventions. However, a surge in interest has emerged around non-pharmacological strategies, particularly mindfulness meditation, which may significantly alter how we perceive and manage pain. Emerging research demonstrates that mindfulness

When one thinks of an ankle sprain, the immediate response is often centered on physical pain and mobility issues. However, emerging research proposes a vastly different perspective—one that suggests our understanding of physical injuries should extend beyond mere bodily harm to encompass the brain’s adaptive capabilities. This phenomenon, known as brain plasticity, indicates that the
