Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed a novel process to clean coal mine drainage and extract rare-earth elements from it. According to the study, passive approaches tend to require fewer resources and have fewer environmental impacts. Coal mine drainage (CMD) impairs tens of thousands of kilometers of U.S.

Long-term exposure to air pollution can lead to physical changes in the brain, as well as learning and memory problems and even depression, new research in mice suggests. For this study, Fonken and colleagues in Ohio State’s Department of Neuroscience collaborated with researchers in the university’s Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute.
