Phys.org / Improved iron catalysts achieve near-zero CO₂ emissions in liquid fuel synthesis from syngas
Scientists cut down over 99% of the CO2 production during the conversion of crude oil products into fuels.
Phys.org / Scientists produce powerhouse pigment behind octopus camouflage
Scientists at UC San Diego have moved one step closer to unlocking a superpower held by some of nature's greatest "masters of disguise." Octopuses, squids, cuttlefish and other animals in the cephalopod family are well known ...
Phys.org / Are there different types of black holes? New method puts Einstein to the test
Black holes are considered cosmic gluttons, from which not even light can escape. That is also why the images of black holes at the center of the galaxy M87 and our Milky Way, published a few years ago by the Event Horizon ...
Medical Xpress / Study shows supervised exercise improves strength, physical performance in patients with advanced breast cancer
Aerobic and resistance exercise can significantly improve physical performance in patients living with metastatic breast cancer, according to new results presented at the Advanced Breast Cancer Eighth International Consensus ...
Medical Xpress / New screening tool helps identify emotional needs after childhood injuries
Injuries not only cause physical harm to children but can also present psychosocial challenges for pediatric patients and their families.
Phys.org / Solar Orbiter provides first glimpse of the sun's polar magnetic field in motion
The sun is governed by a strict rhythm. The magnetic activity of the sun displays a cyclic variation, reaching a maximum approximately every eleven years. Two enormous plasma circulations, each in one solar hemisphere, set ...
Tech Xplore / Ultra-thin 3D display delivers wide-angle, highly-detailed images
Researchers have developed an ultra-thin 3D display with a wide viewing angle, clear image quality and vivid display depth. By overcoming tradeoffs that typically limit glasses-free 3D displays, the advance could open new ...
Phys.org / Young water recharges aquifers while old water feeds crops, study finds
Groundwater replenishing beneath temperate farmland fields may come from very recent rainfall, merely one to two weeks old, whereas the water actually taken up by crops is drawn from much older sources.
Phys.org / Plush neuron makes AI approachable, simplifies neural networks for middle schoolers
A team at Carnegie Mellon University is helping kids understand artificial intelligence with a soft, squishy, LED-lit neural network.
Phys.org / The basic mechanisms of visual attention emerged over 500 million years ago, study suggests
The brain does not need its sophisticated cortex to interpret the visual world. A new study published in PLOS Biology demonstrates that a much older structure, the superior colliculus, contains the necessary circuitry to ...
Tech Xplore / A computational camera lens that can focus on everything all at once
Imagine snapping a photo where every detail, near and far, is perfectly sharp—from the flower petal right in front of you to the distant trees on the horizon. For over a century, camera designers have dreamed of achieving ...
Tech Xplore / Dual-level engineering strategy shows promise for high-performance lithium–sulfur batteries
Carbon-supported single-atom catalysts with metal-N moieties are highly promising for lithium–sulfur batteries. They can enhance redox kinetics and suppress the dissolution of lithium polysulfides. However, carbon substrate ...
