A research team using the ChemCam instrument onboard NASA’s Curiosity rover discovered higher-than-usual amounts of manganese in lakebed rocks within Gale Crater on Mars, which indicates that the sediments were formed in a river, delta, or near the shoreline of an ancient lake. The results were published today in Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.
Researchers at The Ohio State University played a major role in analyzing the first year of data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument’s survey into the history of the universe.
Researchers report in ACS Central Science that they have 3D printed a bioink containing plant cells that were then genetically modified, producing programmable materials. Applications could someday include biomanufacturing and sustainable construction.
Working with teens, UW researchers designed RESeT: a snowy virtual world with six activities intended to improve mood. In a 3-week study of 44 teens, researchers found that most of the teens used the technology about twice a week without being prompted and reported lower stress levels after using the environment.
For the first time, chemists in the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering have created a highly reactive chemical compound that has eluded scientists for more than 120 years. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments, safer agricultural products, and better electronics.
Interdisciplinary researchers in Illinois, the U.S. and around the world can advance their projects with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology's new Zeiss Xradia 630 Versa micro-CT scanner, the first of its kind with life science applications in the U.S.
Evapotranspiration (ET) includes evaporation from soil and open water pools such as lakes, rivers, and ponds, as well as transpiration from plant leaves. The difference between precipitation and ET indicates the water balance available for societal needs, including agricultural and industrial production. However, measuring ET is challenging.
Argonne and Toyota are collaborating on a cutting-edge battery recycling process that retains the structure of valuable components. It shows great promise to make battery recycling much more environmentally friendly and profitable.
Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park, Sangha Trinational, Republic of Congo, April 30 2024 -- A recent study, published in the scientific journal “Plant Ecology and Evolution,” sheds valuable insights into forest stands of Gilbertiodendron dewevrei (G. dewevrei) in the Sangha Trinational region.
Carbon emissions associated with air travel to professional conferences make up a sizable fraction of the emissions produced by researchers in academia. Andrea Gokus, a McDonnell Center postdoctoral fellow in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, is advocating for astronomers and others to reduce those emissions.
Organic electrochemical transistors allow current to flow in devices like implantable biosensors. But scientists long knew about a quirk about their activation that no one could explain. Researchers have now solved the mystery, paving the way to custom-tailored OECTs for biosensing, brain-inspired computation and beyond.
Common household products containing nanoparticles – grains of engineered material so miniscule they are invisible to the eye – could be contributing to a new form of indoor air pollution, according to a Rutgers study. In a study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, a team of Rutgers researchers found people walking through a space, where a consumer product containing nanoparticles was recently sprayed, stirred residual specks off carpet fibers and floor surfaces, projecting them some three to five feet in the air.
Probiotics have been touted as a treatment for everything from diarrhea to mental health disorders, with sales of probiotic supplements expected to exceed $65 billion globally in 2024.
In a significant stride towards personalized cancer care, the National Cancer Center Japan (NCCJ) has marked a decade of progress in cancer genomic medicine (CGM). A comprehensive review outlines the evolution of CGM in Japan, highlighting the pivotal role of the NCCJ in this advancement. The study encapsulates the historical milestones, current achievements, and future directions in the field of CGM.
Conservationists and scientists from almost 20 institutions in the United States, Europe, and Africa, have concluded that immediate conservation efforts to protect red colobus monkey species could have cascading net positive impacts on African tropical forest health in the face of a growing biodiversity crisis.
A groundbreaking study has recognized the cGAS-STING signaling pathway as a formidable ally in the immune system's battle against cancer. This pivotal discovery may pave the way for innovative immunotherapies capable of amplifying the body's inherent defenses to detect and eradicate cancer cells, signifying a substantial advance towards more potent cancer treatments.
Vera C. Rubin Observatory's successfully coats 8.4-meter primary/tertiary mirror in on-site coating chamber
A new type of bioplastic could help reduce the plastic industry’s environmental footprint. Researchers have developed a biodegradable form of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filled with bacterial spores that, when exposed to nutrients present in compost, germinate and break down the material at the end of its life cycle.
One group commonly misunderstood by voice technology are individuals who speak African American English, or AAE.
Argonne National Laboratory is working with Talon Metals to develop a process that could dramatically increase the number of electric vehicle batteries produced from mined nickel ore.
Sometimes not finding something is just as exciting and useful as finding it. Take hot Jupiter WASP-43 b, for example. This tidally locked world has a searing hot permanent dayside and a somewhat cooler nightside. Astronomers using Webb to map the temperature and analyze the atmosphere around the planet expected to detect methane, a common carbon molecule, on the nightside.
Scientists at PPPL have finished building a new plasma measurement instrument that could aid efforts to boost the heat of fusion reactions in facilities known as tokamaks.
