Tech Xplore / Hydrogen planes 'more for the 22nd century': France's Safran
Hydrogen-powered airplanes, touted by some as a way to slash carbon emissions from flying, are unlikely to prove a viable technology anytime soon, the head of French engine maker Safran said Wednesday.
Phys.org / A dry surface thanks to fluid physics: Contact-free method gently remove liquids from delicate microstructures
Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them from microscopic surface structures. The method uses vapor condensation to generate surface currents ...
Phys.org / Western populations endorse support for Ukraine despite nuclear escalation fears, finds study
Most people in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy clearly endorse military support for Ukraine. They overwhelmingly reject Russia's positions on territorial claims and restrictions on Ukraine's ...
Phys.org / Underestimates in global warming pose major climate and financial risks, report shows
Policymakers and financial institutions are underestimating climate risks that could undermine the global financial system, according to a new report from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) and University of Exeter.
Tech Xplore / Adaptive motion system helps robots achieve human-like dexterity with minimal data
Despite rapid robotic automation advancements, most systems struggle to adapt their pre-trained movements to dynamic environments with objects of varying stiffness or weight. To tackle this challenge, researchers from Japan ...
Tech Xplore / Multi-kilogram-scale biomass processing facility transforms agricultural biomass waste into fiber and textiles
UC Riverside chemical engineering researchers have completed construction of a multi-kilogram-scale biomass processing facility that transforms forestry and agricultural biomass waste into pulp that can be made into many ...
Phys.org / Lowering deer densities can help restore Scotland's lost Highland mountain woodlands, new research shows
Lost mountain woodlands in the Scottish Highlands will return if deer densities are reduced, according to new University of Stirling research.
Phys.org / Video game experiment reveals people value feeding their neighbors—even at a cost to themselves
For many people, the allure of video games is that they offer players a chance to enter a world very different from their own: everything from fighting dragons in a mythical realm to racing cars on an obstacle-filled roadway. ...
Phys.org / Atmospheric physicists find error in widely cited Arctic snow cover observations
For decades, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has offered a snapshot of the planet's changing climate—but University of Toronto researchers have found that some of the underlying data ...
Medical Xpress / Brain neurons process salience, valence and value separately to understand what is important—and what isn't
The sound of a fire alarm tells us to get out quickly to not get hurt, while the sight of a gas station sign can signal a chance to refuel. In everyday life, we learn to link cues we sense with what they mean, helping us ...
Phys.org / Melting glaciers may mix up waters more than we thought
As marine-terminating glaciers melt, the resulting freshwater is released at the seafloor, which mixes with salty seawater and influences circulation patterns. As the oceans warm, it's growing increasingly important to study ...
Medical Xpress / When a virus releases the immune brake: New evidence on the onset of multiple sclerosis
Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis arise when the immune system turns against the body itself. Yet for most of them, it remains unclear why this process begins. Researchers have now identified how the Epstein-Barr ...
