Tech Xplore / Redesigned catalyst pathways vent bubbles fast and boost green hydrogen efficiency
As the global transition toward carbon neutrality accelerates, "water electrolysis"—a technology that splits water electrically to produce clean hydrogen—is drawing significant attention. However, a major limitation has been ...
Tech Xplore / Quantum computing could transform energy grid optimization and security
Modern power systems are rapidly evolving into highly digitized smart grids, increasing their complexity at an unprecedented pace. Renewables, batteries, electric vehicles, power electronics, sensors and real-time control ...
Phys.org / Wildfire dark brown carbon has strong global warming effects, study finds
A new international study published in Nature Geoscience reveals that dark brown carbon from wildfires exerts a powerful warming effect on the global climate—potentially matching or even exceeding that of black carbon in ...
Tech Xplore / Climate-driven water stress could undercut most proposed U.S. lithium mines
The U.S. may not have enough water to support its lithium ambitions, a new Northwestern University study has found. An essential ingredient for electric vehicle (EV) batteries and other clean energy technologies, lithium ...
Medical Xpress / New AI approach aims to predict radiation dose before therapy in advanced prostate cancer
A new machine-learning approach for prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) could estimate radiation dose to tumors and healthy organs before therapy ...
Science X / Could one prenatal vitamin reshape how your child remembers words, patterns and places?
Prenatal supplements nourish both mother and baby, helping fill vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the mother while supporting a healthy pregnancy and strong fetal development throughout every stage of pregnancy. Scientists ...
Medical Xpress / Murray Valley encephalitis can be fatal. With no vaccine, here's how to stay safe
Health authorities in the Northern Territory have issued warnings for residents and visitors to avoid mosquito bites after two people from Alice Springs died from Murray Valley encephalitis.
Phys.org / Polymer strategy boosts lithium battery safety and performance by making plasticizers compatible
The performance and safety profile of lithium batteries has improved immensely over the years, but new technologies are constantly demanding even better performance and increased safety demands due to higher energy densities. ...
Science X / Why 'football' beats 'shamrock' when your brain is dismantling every word at lightning speed
Before you even know what a word means, your brain is already playing a rapid-fire game of linguistic LEGO. Discover how our minds secretly dissect words, piece by orthographic piece, in the blink of an eye.
Medical Xpress / Vitamin D analog shuts down pancreatic cancer's shield in a clinical trial
A small clinical trial led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers has put a Salk Institute idea to the test in patients: that activating the vitamin D receptor can help reshape the protective environment surrounding ...
Phys.org / Megafire kills Joshua trees, but not fungi
When the Dome Fire tore through the Mojave Desert in 2020, it reduced 1 million Eastern Joshua trees to blackened skeletons. Scientists expected the underground ecosystem to be equally devastated. Instead, they found it thriving.
Phys.org / Quantum entanglement provides a new framework for understanding chemical bonding
Chemical bonding is one of the central organizing principles of the microscopic world. It determines how atoms combine and thereby governs a wide range of physical and chemical properties of quantum systems across many length ...
