But 5G has a potential downside to it that could usher in a massive human catastrophe — lower fertility rates and risk of depopulation. 5G doomsday In ...
A new Duke University-led study has found widespread uranium contamination in groundwater from aquifers in 16 Indian states. The main source of the uranium contamination is natural, but human factors, such as groundwater-table decline and nitrate pollution, may be exacerbating the problem.

It might sound like something from a science fiction plot — astronauts traveling into deep space being bombarded by cosmic rays — but space radiation exposure is science fact. As future missions look to travel back to the moon or even to Mars, new research from the University of New Hampshire’s Space Science Center cautions ...
