Tech Xplore / Efficient carbon capture 'viciazite' materials can desorb below 60°C
Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) before it reaches the atmosphere is a key strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Even though carbon capture technologies have existed for decades, their widespread adoption has been ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted ultrasound may help the brain overcome fear more quickly
Neuroscientist Sjoerd Meijer of the Donders Institute at Radboud University has shown for the first time that targeted ultrasonic sound waves can help the brain overcome fear more quickly. These findings may open new avenues ...
Phys.org / How archaeology is preserving evidence of the Yahidne war crime
Archaeology is not just a powerful tool for revealing insights into the ancient past, but it can also be applied to more recent events. In a new paper published in the journal Antiquity, scientists reveal how archaeological ...
Phys.org / AI approach uncovers dozens of hidden planets in NASA's TESS data
Astronomers at the University of Warwick have validated over 100 exoplanets, including 31 newly detected planets, using a new artificial intelligence tool applied to data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ...
Tech Xplore / Smart yarn tracks muscle activity in the body
Created from noise-resistant, conductive threads, a high-tech new smart fabric could find uses in health monitoring, sports performance and rehabilitation. The work is published in the journal Science Advances.
Phys.org / Research challenges long-held ecological belief of how rare species survive
A biological process long thought to protect biodiversity and help species coexist may actually threaten diversity when species are separated by natural landscapes, infrastructure, or other barriers, according to new research ...
Tech Xplore / New bifacial solar cells yield efficiencies above 32%
Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries worldwide. Over the past few years, energy engineers have been exploring alternative designs that could further boost ...
Medical Xpress / Largest genomic study of kidney function in Africa reveals new genetic risk factors
An international research collaboration led by Queen Mary University of London and University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa has published the most comprehensive genomic investigation of kidney function ever ...
Phys.org / Discarded oyster shells may pull rare earth metals from polluted water
New research from a team at Trinity College Dublin has unearthed a cheap and environmentally friendly new option for removing pollutants from our water. The key? Oyster shells that would ordinarily end up in landfill sites ...
Phys.org / Damselfish pick-up lines could have regional accents
Courtship calls among two species of fish commonly found on Australian coral reefs have been described, and researchers say their "accents" can vary significantly between regions. Scientists led by the Australian Institute ...
Medical Xpress / New MRI system could aid early detection of heart failure
The heart's ability to use oxygen efficiently is a critical indicator of its health, but tests to measure this function have drawbacks that can limit their use. A new Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University study found that ...
Phys.org / Direct confirmation of two baby planets forming around a young, sun-like star
As the number of exoplanet detections has breached 6,000 and continues to grow, scientists are finding a wide variety of different solar system architectures. Critical to understanding how these architectures take shape is ...
