A novel approach to make seawater evaporate faster than freshwater has been hailed as a significant breakthrough in desalination technology that will benefit billions of people worldwide.
The overlapping effects of sea level rise, permafrost thaw subsidence, and erosion may lead to land loss in Arctic coastal regions that dwarfs the land loss from any single one of these climate hazards, scientists say.
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital identified a panel of 27 proteins that could accurately predict treatment-related cardiomyopathy risk among childhood cancer survivors.
The of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) will take place in San Diego, Calif. and online Dec. 7-10. Improving access to life-saving therapies for blood disorders is the theme of many presentations by Fred Hutch Cancer Center experts, including: Meta-analyses show socioeconomic factors limit access to transplants and clinical trials, highlighting strategies to overcome barriers.
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) today announced it has been selected as a winner of the 2024 Amazon Web Services (AWS) IMAGINE Grant, a public grant opportunity open to registered 501(c) nonprofit organizations in the United States who are using technology to solve the world’s most pressing challenges.
Adolescents worldwide are spending an average of 8 to 10 hours per day engaging in sedentary activities such as watching television, using electronic devices, playing video games and riding in motorized vehicles, according to a multinational study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity.
Bird wing shape — a proxy for long-distance flying ability, or dispersal — is a trait that influences biodiversity patterns on islands around the world, according to research from WashU biologists.
Binghamton University is a key partner in a new federally funded institute focused on the use of digital twins to improve domestic semiconductor design and manufacturing.
The U.S. Department of Commerce and the Semiconductor Research Corporation Manufacturing Consortium Corp. (SRC) announced last week that they are negotiating for the department to provide SRC $285 million to establish and operate a Manufacturing USA Institute. With combined funding totaling $1 billion, this investment will support the launch of the first-of-its-kind CHIPS Manufacturing USA Institute.
Regener-Eyes LLC, the distributors of Regener-Eyes Professional Strength and Regener-Eyes LITE, recently launched their new preservative-free bottles with back flow prevention.
In two recent papers, researchers found that emissions from streams are largely derived from nitrification processes in agricultural soils. Further, they found that stream emissions make up a much greater portion of the annual nitrous oxide budget than previously known.
Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM) has developed magnetic 3D printing technology capable of manufacturing high-performance motors, a first in South Korea. By developing dedicated magnetic material 3D printing equipment and specialized designs, the technology enables the creation of complex motor structures without molds.
Scientists have engineered a cutting-edge underwater adhesive based on a cationic polyelectrolyte, marking a breakthrough in adhesive technology. This innovation effectively counters the high salinity and electrostatic challenges that previously limited the performance of wet adhesives in marine environments.
From smart textiles to self-driving cars: Empa researchers are developing new types of detectors for infrared radiation that are more sustainable, flexible and cost-effective than conventional technologies. The key to success is not (only) the composition of the material, but also its size.
The Monell Chemical Senses Center and A*STAR Singapore Institute of Food and Biotechnology Innovation are about to sign a Memorandum of Understanding to promote academic cooperation and exchange in education and research, with the vision of creating a healthier world by unlocking the mysteries of our senses.
A new study exploring traditional sunken groundwater-harvesting agroecosystems in coastal and inland sand (SGHAS) bodies of Israel, Iran, Egypt, Algeria, Gaza, and the Atlantic coast of Iberia offers fresh perspectives on ancient agricultural techniques that could inform modern sustainability practices. The research, which combines geospatial analysis, archaeological findings, and historical documentation, sheds light on the innovative use of water-harvesting and soil-enrichment technologies developed in the early Islamic period and their continued relevance to contemporary agricultural challenges.
A surge in GPS jamming attacks in drone warfare has inspired Australian researchers to develop a celestial navigation system that uses visual data from stars rather than relying on the global positioning system.
