Phys.org / Scientists synthesize stable N₄ radical anions under ambient conditions
A team of scientists from the University of Manchester and Oxford have synthesized stable nitrogen chain radical anions under ambient conditions. These molecules, which are normally too reactive to isolate and study under ...
Phys.org / 70-year field study finds fertilizer imbalance can halve mycorrhizal fungi
Almost all plants live in close symbiosis with so-called mycorrhizal fungi—an important symbiosis for absorbing essential nutrients. In their new study, a team led by ecologist Christina Kaiser from the Center for Microbiology ...
Phys.org / Self-repairing spacecraft could change future missions
Healable spacecraft structures could soon be possible thanks to cutting-edge composite technology. Swiss companies CompPair and CSEM with Belgian company Com&Sens have partnered with the European Space Agency (ESA) to modify ...
Phys.org / Researchers find harmful algae species wasn't new to South Australian waters
The coastline of South Australia has been affected for nearly a year by an unprecedented harmful algal bloom which has led to the deaths of millions of fish and sharks, impacted marine mammals and birds and affected the health ...
Tech Xplore / Study proposes ways to control unforeseen leaks in underground excavations
A study involving the IIAMA Institute at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) proposes a series of solutions to address a critical engineering problem: unforeseen water leaks during the construction of deep excavations. ...
Medical Xpress / Study offers roadmap to navigate police presence in the ER
Clear policies, better training, and survivor advocates can help protect people after violence while letting police do their investigative work in the emergency room, according to researchers from MedStar Washington Hospital ...
Phys.org / Chemists rapidly assemble fusicoccadiene, a complex fungal molecule tied to cancer research
A Florida State University chemist has developed a method to rapidly assemble significantly complex natural molecules with potential for biomedical applications, opening the door for novel drug therapies based on the molecule's ...
Medical Xpress / Consent and its discontents: UK Biobank projects may breach trust of thousands of participants
UK Biobank is a major biomedical database and research resource, holding the genetic, health, and lifestyle information of half a million adult volunteers. Its datasets are accessible to approved researchers from academic, ...
Phys.org / Four decades of data give unique insight into the sun's inner life
Scientists have analyzed more than 40 years of astronomical data to uncover evidence that the sun's internal structure subtly changes from one solar cycle minimum to the next. Publishing their findings in Monthly Notices ...
Tech Xplore / Non-destructive battery testing with ultralow-field nuclear magnetic resonance
Rechargeable batteries are everywhere—from portable electronic devices and electric vehicles to renewable energy storage. Battery failures are often due to the loss or chemical degradation of the electrolyte.
Phys.org / New 4D-STEM method isolates atomic structures from clustered nanocrystals
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, a breakthrough that could ...
Phys.org / Leopards adapted to South Africa's Cape so successfully that they're genetically unique
Animals of the same species don't always look the same. From birds with different beak shapes to mammals that vary in size or color, populations living in different places can often look very different.
