Phys.org / One-pot method synthesizes blue light-responsive aryne precursors from carboxylic acids
Arynes are highly reactive organic intermediates featuring a triple bond within an aromatic ring. Their strong reactivity enables them to form bonds with a wide range of functional groups, making them valuable tools for the ...
Medical Xpress / White matter connections may drive adolescent cognitive gains, study suggests
Adolescence, the life stage that marks the transition between childhood and adulthood, is known to be a vital period for the brain's development. During this critical phase, people's mental abilities, including their problem-solving ...
Tech Xplore / Future data centers are driving up forecasts for energy demand. States want proof they'll get built
The forecasts are eye-popping: utilities saying they'll need two or three times more electricity within a few years to power massive new data centers that are feeding a fast-growing AI economy.
Phys.org / Hidden signatures of ancient Rome's master craftsmen revealed
In the hushed light of a museum gallery, Hallie Meredith discovered something intriguing about ancient Roman glasswork hiding in plain sight.
Medical Xpress / Sodium bicarbonate fails to boost survival in patients with severe acidemia

Medical Xpress / Scientists document a death from a meat allergy tied to certain ticks
Researchers have reported what they believe is the first documented death from a meat allergy that can be triggered by tick bites.
Phys.org / Scientists uncover surprising link between koala and Ice Age 'marsupial lion'
A sleepy koala may seem worlds apart from a giant Ice Age predator, but scientists have uncovered the first molecular evidence linking the two.
Tech Xplore / Novel 3D nanofabrication techniques enable miniaturized robots
In the 1980s when micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) were first created, computer engineers were excited by the idea that these new devices that combine electrical and mechanical components at the microscale could be ...
Tech Xplore / Porous separators boost efficiency of electrolyzers for carbon monoxide reduction
Electrolyzers, devices that use electricity to drive desired chemical reactions, could enable the production of clean hydrogen (H2) gas from water (H2O) and the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful fuels or industrial ...
Phys.org / Machine learning teaches membranes to sort by chemical affinity
Ultrafiltration membranes used in pharmaceutical manufacturing and other industrial processes have long relied on separating molecules by size. Now, Cornell researchers have created porous materials that filter molecules ...
