The flood maps are possible thanks to one of the innovations of the CYGNSS constellation. The microwave signal the CYGNSS satellites use to detect wind speed…
Rice materials theorist Boris Yakobson and his team bucked a theory that when growing nanotubes in a furnace, a catalyst with a specific atomic arrangement and…
A team of engineers at the University of Notre Dame is using the backyard torches as part of an effort to mimic the soot oxidation process in a diesel engine…
Carbon dioxide emissions are killing off coral reefs and kelp forests as heat waves and ocean acidification damage marine ecosystems, scientists have warned.
“The epithelial cells are the “construction blocks” with which an organism is formed. They are like 'pieces of Tente or Lego from which animals are made'. The…
Atmospheric derived mercury is transformed in the ocean to toxic methylmercury, which is enriched in fish. Large marine predators such as tuna are strongly…
Progress in medicine and science would be unthinkable without microscopes. Today, structures can be visualized to the millionth of a millimeter, and living…
Many of the antibiotics used today were developed from natural products made by bacteria themselves in order to ward off other bacteria. These products used to…
Obscured by thick clouds of absorbing dust, the closest supermassive black hole to the Earth lies 26 000 light years away at the centre of the Milky Way. This…
People have long been dealing with questions about the mechanisms that make our body cells age and how to counteract these mechanisms. Due to their function in…
A new study shows that as those fires scorched a region of boreal forest the size of Maryland, they released half as much carbon back into the atmosphere as…
A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever,…
This sound helps scientists study what can't be observed with the naked eye.
A team of international researchers led by engineers at Washington University in St. Louis has seen the light and now has a lasing system that produces “good…
The long-dormant Yellowstone super-volcano in the American West has a different history than previously thought, according to a new study by a Virginia Tech…
The industrial production of methionine from petrochemical source materials is currently done via a six-step chemical process that requires highly toxic…
