A needle is inserted through the mother’s abdomen and 50-250 ml (as much as a cup) of amniotic fluid is withdrawn and replaced with a solution of concentrated salt. The baby breathes in ...

is working on a greener solution. The key ingredient: salt. When some salts get hot enough—about 500 degrees Celsius—they liquefy into a concentrated soup of charged particles. Mix ore particles into ...

A new NASA-supported study shows how an AI tool can predict chemical compositions from photos with high accuracy.

The study authors found that this also seems to be the case in the tastebuds of mice; when they gave mice lacking a T1R ...

Gargling with hypertonic saline [aka a salt water solution with a higher concentration of salt] is safe, although ingesting too much salt or sodium chloride can result in elevated blood pressure ...

The researchers also analyzed the initial concentration of the salt solution at five different levels and trained their machine learning program to distinguish among them. The program reached 92% ...
