Phys.org / Anion swap unlocks sevenfold CO₂ capture in polyionic liquids
A joint research team from Nitto Boseki Co., Ltd. (Nittobo) and Tohoku University has revealed that polyionic liquids (PILs) can achieve high carbon dioxide (CO₂) adsorption when their counter anions are exchanged. This discovery ...
Tech Xplore / A human-inspired pipeline could enhance the training of computer vision models
Over the past few decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can tackle some tasks exceedingly well. These include computer vision models, systems that can ...
Phys.org / Spiral galaxy's brilliant heart shines bright in a new picture from NASA's Webb telescope
A spiral galaxy's brilliant heart outshines everything within sight in a new picture from NASA's Webb Space Telescope.
Medical Xpress / Smartwatches and GPS devices show promise for tracking environmental impacts on health in real time
As climate change drives more frequent extreme heat and worsening air pollution, researchers are seeking better ways to understand how these exposures affect health in real time. A new pilot study led by researchers at The ...
Phys.org / Antarctica sea ice collapse driven by triple whammy of climate chaos, scientists find
Antarctica is being ravaged by a triple-whammy of climate chaos that has melted sea ice to record lows, a new study has revealed. For decades, the frozen wilderness at the bottom of the world defied global warming trends, ...
Phys.org / Plants evolved distinct functions for two forms of a fundamental signaling molecule, study shows
The molecule cAMP, which plays essential roles in mammalian cells, is less well understood in plants. In a new Science Advances paper, researchers from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and international ...
Phys.org / Vast atmospheric waves on Venus are caused by largest known 'hydraulic jump'
The mysterious origin of an impressive cloud disturbance on Venus has now been revealed by a team including the University of Tokyo. Researchers used numerical models to show that an enormous 6,000-kilometer-wide atmospheric ...
Phys.org / Metamorphosis in newts proves costly, with one sex paying a heavier price
Metamorphosis, that profound transformation enabling certain animals to shift between habitats such as from an aquatic to a terrestrial environment, is generally viewed in terms of its benefits. A team of researchers from ...
Phys.org / Why climate action stalls, despite widespread popular support
What's the link between the global economy and the climate? Consumption drives extraction and carbon emissions. But there is more. The inequalities of the global economy don't just shape what goes into the atmosphere. They ...
Medical Xpress / Children with rare debilitating brain diseases suffer from mutations in a little-known protein complex
Thousands of times per year, a family's moment of joy turns to unexpected grief. A seemingly healthy infant stops smiling or making eye contact. Their limbs grow weak. The tiny child suffers seizures and breathing problems.
Medical Xpress / Common asthma drug shows promise for reversing fatty liver
MUSC researchers are tackling MASH, or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, a liver disease affecting hundreds of millions worldwide. It is also a leading cause of liver transplantation, yet treatment options ...
Medical Xpress / How a tiny cell structure may shape brain development and drive disease
A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into developmental disorders and potential therapies.
