Credit: Delft University of Technology Can salt marshes serve as a natural solution for flood protection? Researchers of the project "Living Dikes" transported 62 big blocks of salt marshes, containing soil and vegetation, from the coast of Friesland to the Delta Flume at Deltares. After four weeks of exposure to extreme waves, almost the entire salt marsh is still standing there. …

Incorporating a phase-change material into concrete, researchers have created a self-heating material that can melt snow and ice for up to 10 hours without using salt or shovels. The novel material could reduce the need for plowing and salting and help preserve the integrity of road surfaces.According to the US Department of Transportation (DOT), more than 70% of roads are in snowy regions. Snow and ice accumulation reduces road friction and vehicle maneuverability, causing drivers to slow and increasing the risk of…

Experts recommend adding low-sodium potassium-enriched salt to hypertension guidelines to combat high blood pressure and related health risks. This recommendation follows evidence that potassium-enriched salt can reduce sodium intake and increase potassium intake, offering a taste-neutral solution to a widespread health issue. Despite its benefits and patient compliance, current guidelines rarely endorse these salt substitutes, a gap that, if addressed, could prevent millions of cardiovascular events annually.Experts…

For the first three days after Veruca Salt brought her baby son Cash home from the hospital, she couldn’t sleep. She just couldn’t stop staring at him.  “ I was so scared to just be alone with him.

Instead, he and producer Steve Gunn have conjured up a record rich in atmosphere, whose songs have a wintry simplicity…

New research reveals that replacing regular salt with a salt substitute can lower the risk of hypertension by 40% in older adults without increasing low blood pressure risks. Conducted among elderly residents in China, the findings highlight the efficacy of salt substitutes in managing blood pressure and suggest broader adoption in food processing to combat global hypertension challenges.Salt substitutes present a healthy alternative for reducing salt intake, decreasing the risk of hypertension without increasing low…
