A LiveScience study says probably not. On the water side of the equation, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates that Earth has about 1.4 billion gigatons of water, including that in oceans, ice caps, glaciers, lakes, rivers, groundwater and vapor.

Maybe you have ordered an at-home microbiome test and waited on a report full of unfamiliar bacteria names. Maybe you are just watching friends compare their results. Either way, the gut has become something people study rather than ignore. That attention raises a fair question about which foods and compounds genuinely help. The latest contender is one that nutritionists spent years telling you to limit.

Dr. Kelly Tseng a professor in the School Of Life Sciences at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, discusses how discovering the method in which frogs are able to regenerate eye tissue could lead to finding out how to replicate the process in humans.

Energy Fuels mines uranium-laden limestone found in the area around Red Butte in a process known as breccia pipe mining. David Kramer, a hydrogeologist at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, explained the process to a crowd of attendees at the summit.

UNLV appears several times on U.S. News & World’s Report’s new Best Global Universities rankings.

UNLV Professor Emeritus of Geology Steve Rowland recently authored a scientific paper about an intriguing, earthquake-caused geological structure — known as a clastic pipe — which was identified by avid hiker and geology enthusiast Jeffrey Cuneo near Lake Mead. The paper was published in May in the scientific journal Geology of the Intermountain West.

As water molecules move around the planet through the water cycle, they take on many forms, moving from solid to liquid to gas and back again. They can make up snowpacks melting in the spring, a river rushing to the ocean, clouds carried on sea breezes, and even pee flushed down the toilet.

Researchers aim to extend battery life in electric vehicles, phones and laptops instead of sending packs to landfills

New research suggests that fleeting quantum forces leave lasting imprints on the brain, subtly influencing thought, intuition, and the choices we make.

Research suggests that phytic acid, a natural compound present in plant-based foods such as beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier.

Sampling sewage lines directly serving healthcare facilities allows scientists to identify drug-resistant fungus strains of candida auris (C. auris) five months before patient symptoms emerge.

Sampling wastewater near hospitals and care facilities can detect a deadly, drug-resistant fungus up to five months before patients show symptoms, according to new UNLV research.
