Phys.org / Team studies beryllium-7 variations over Antarctic regions of the Southern Ocean
Beryllium-7 is a radioactive isotope of beryllium produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere. A Japanese research team has explored, over space and time, how the beryllium-7 is transported from the atmosphere to Earth's surface. ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop computer models for better biomass milling predictions
Turning materials like wood chips, crop residues and municipal solid waste into fuels and chemicals is important for our country's energy independence.
Phys.org / Low-fat vegan diet can reduce an individual's greenhouse gas emissions by 51%
A low-fat vegan diet is associated with a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and cumulative energy demand (CED) compared to the Standard American Diet, according to research by the Physicians Committee ...
Tech Xplore / Silicon, aluminum and lithium scarcity threaten green technology development
Silicon, aluminum and lithium are the most critical raw materials on Earth. Their scarcity and the complexity of extracting them could hinder the development of technologies that are key to the green transition. This is one ...
Phys.org / Bird flu cases are on the rise again, including 2 million turkeys: Will that affect Thanksgiving dinner?
Out on his farm in Dundee Township, Cliff McConville sees geese landing in the fields where his turkeys and chickens graze. It's a sight that often unnerves poultry producers, as migratory waterfowl carry and spread a highly ...
Phys.org / Collaboration completes richest observation run of gravitational signals to date
The international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has completed the fourth observation campaign (called O4) of the international network of gravitational wave detectors. Launched in May 2023, the campaign ends after a period ...
Tech Xplore / High-entropy superalloy could push jet engine performance to new limits
A novel cobalt (Co)- and nickel (Ni)-based high-entropy superalloy (CoNi-HESA) capable of withstanding higher operating temperatures could prove a step toward more powerful and fuel-efficient aircraft engines.
