Phys.org / Scientists unveil mechanism behind greener ammonia production
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have revealed how a catalyst in a promising chemical reaction for industry helps make ammonia, a major ingredient in fertilizer. Copper oxide is a key catalyst in the electrochemical ...
Phys.org / How neighborhoods can work to address rise in black bear encounters
UCLA's famed campus Bruin statue doesn't have it all that different from his living, breathing cousins some 30 miles away in the San Gabriel Mountain communities. When encountered on Bruin Walk, people will instinctively ...
Phys.org / Nontraditional benefits play key role in retaining under-35 government health worker
Younger workers in governmental public health place significantly higher value on nontraditional benefits than their older counterparts, according to a new study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. Flexible ...
Medical Xpress / Two parallel blood formation systems produce different immune and blood cells
It has only recently become known that two parallel systems of blood formation exist in the body, originating from different precursor cells. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have developed a method ...
Phys.org / Oceanographers present conceptual framework to determine what happens to carbon as it sinks through the ocean
Florida State University oceanographers have discovered a significant connection between small-scale microbial processes and ecosystem-wide dynamics, offering new insights into the mechanisms driving marine carbon storage.
Medical Xpress / New study identifies key mechanism driving HIV-associated immune suppression
Researchers from the Institute of Human Virology (IHV) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have discovered how a specific type of immune cell may contribute to the persistence of HIV infections. The finding offers ...
Medical Xpress / Virtual clinical trial suggests psychedelics may boost brain activity in coma patients
Researchers from the University of Liège and international collaborators developed a "virtual clinical trial" exploring a unique pharmacological treatment in patients who do not fully regain consciousness after a coma. The ...
Phys.org / Biobased concrete substitute can give coastal restoration a natural boost
An innovative alternative to concrete could enable important coastal restoration work to take place. The material Xiriton, made with local grass species and seawater, captures CO2 instead of emitting it, as conventional concrete ...
Phys.org / Scientists map 3D structure of ZAK protein involved in cellular stress response
In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns Hopkins and the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) have published what is believed to be ...
Phys.org / Climate change links Tibetan lakes to Yangtze River, fueling flood risks
Climate change is accelerating the reorganization of river-lake systems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, reshaping hydrological and ecological processes in the "Asian Water Tower."
Phys.org / It's a bird, it's a drone, it's both: AI tech monitors turkey behavior
At a time when millions of Americans have turkey on their minds, a team of researchers led by an animal scientist at Penn State has successfully tested a new way for poultry producers to keep their turkeys in sight.
Phys.org / Most modern dogs have detectable wolf ancestry, including the tiny chihuahua
New research led by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History reveals that the majority of dogs living today have low but detectable levels of post-domestication ...
