A federally funded research effort to revolutionize water treatment has yielded an off-grid technology that uses energy from sunlight alone to turn salt water…
A recent discovery by Stanford University scientists could lead to a new, more sustainable way to make ethanol without corn or other crops. This promising…
Platelets play a crucial role in hemostasis. At sites of vascular damage they attach to the subendothelial matrix, form a plug that seals the wound and…
Stench and heat when a road is paved, black tar clumps at the beach that stick to your feet – asphalt does not make for a homey habitat. And yet it forms the…
Understanding “slow-slip” earthquakes on the seafloor — seismic events that occur over a period of days or weeks — is giving researchers new insights into…
Diamonds have some striking properties: for example, their refractive index is 2.4, which is extremely high and allows much thinner optics to be made. Their…
Researchers from the University of Luxembourg, in cooperation with the University of Strasbourg, have developed a computational method that could be used to…
Ames Laboratory scientists are known for their expertise in the synthesis and manufacturing of materials of different types, according to Vela, who is also an…
An International team from China University of Geosciences, University of York and Lomonosov Moscow State University have studied the impact of wildfire on…
“MAVEN has made tremendous discoveries about the Mars upper atmosphere and how it interacts with the sun and the solar wind,” said Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN…
The team successfully synthesized single crystals of a metallic trilayer nickelate compound, a feat the researchers believe to be a first.
Renyuan Li, a Ph.D. student at KAUST, has investigated a MXene in which titanium and carbon combine with the formula Ti3C2. “This is a very exciting material,”…
Plants are masters of adaptation. They almost have always means to defend themselves against pathogens, climate fluctuations, and extreme weather conditions.
Recent studies have indicated that the brain makes decisions on visual and auditory stimuli using accumulated sensory evidence, and that this process is…
Only about 45% of the anthropogenic CO₂ emissions from the burning of coal, oil and gas and from deforestation accumulate in the atmosphere, while the…
