"Music genres have undergone a noticeable simpli?cation": a study concludes that modern music is not complex enough, and it's all your fault

The science behind the fact that music has become less complex is probably more interesting than the fact itself, and it's a shame the team didn't analyse the reasons more. We'd say that the increased use of technology has meant a decreased need for understanding complex music theory, and maybe that has resulted in less complex tunes.

A material used to clean household aquariums offers a simple solution to break down forever chemicals

A University of Missouri researcher has discovered a new method to remove so-called "forever chemicals" from our drinking water.

The article from MSN discusses a breakthrough in managing "forever chemicals," known scientifically as PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which are notorious for their persistence in the environment and potential health risks. Researchers have discovered that a material commonly used in household aquariums, specifically activated carbon, can effectively break down these chemicals. This method involves using a combination of UV light and sulfite, which, when applied to the activated carbon, significantly enhances the degradation of PFAS. This approach not only promises a cost-effective and simple solution for water treatment but also offers hope in reducing the environmental and health impacts of these pervasive pollutants. The study, published in the journal Nature Water, highlights the potential of this technique to be scaled up for broader application in water purification systems.
