Phys.org / Significant share of Arctic Ocean's dissolved carbon comes from land, study finds
Climate change and the associated rising temperatures are melting more and more frozen ground in the Arctic. This dissolved matter contains large amounts of organic carbon which is flowing into the central Arctic Ocean.
Phys.org / Sunscreen plus bleach: The surprising chemistry behind stubborn red laundry stains
Have you ever tried bleaching sunscreen stains on clothing, only to be left with bright red results? Professor Clare Mahon, from the Durham University Department of Chemistry, did just this and the scarlet staining instantly ...
Phys.org / Ancient DNA uncovers unknown Argentina lineage that has persisted for last 8,500 years
An area called the central Southern Cone in South America, which consists of a large part of Argentina, is known to be one of the last global regions to become inhabited by humans.
Phys.org / Pleiades star cluster revealed as just one part of a vast stellar family
Astronomers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered that the famous Pleiades star cluster, the "Seven Sisters" often spotted on winter nights, is just the bright tip of a much larger stellar family. ...
Phys.org / Euclid's first data release sheds light on galaxy evolution
The ESA's Euclid space telescope has been in space for just over a year, investigating some of the deepest mysteries of the cosmos. By observing cosmic structures up to a distance of 10 billion light-years, the observatory ...
Tech Xplore / Image compression method combines classic techniques for greater efficiency and flexibility
In his research, Professor Marko Huhtanen from the University of Oulu, who specializes in applied and computational mathematics, introduces a new method for compressing images. This technique combines several well-known compression ...
Phys.org / Saturn's icy moon may host a stable ocean fit for life
A new study led by researchers from Oxford University, Southwest Research Institute and the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona has provided the first evidence of significant heat flow at Enceladus's north pole, ...
Phys.org / Imaging reveals bacterial symbionts in the ovaries of tiny, aquatic crustaceans
Researchers at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) have imaged a heritable form of bacterial symbiosis inside the reproductive system of tiny crustaceans known as ostracods.
Medical Xpress / Research reveals shared genetic roots for psychiatric and neurological disorders
Researchers from the Center for Precision Psychiatry at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital have discovered extensive genetic links between neurological disorders like migraine, stroke and epilepsy, and psychiatric ...
Phys.org / Very dense olive orchards thrive on less fertilizer
Rows of tightly packed olive trees stretch across California's Central Valley. These super-high-density orchards, where trees are planted close together for faster, mechanized harvesting, can grow strong with less fertilizer ...
Phys.org / Scientists make dark exciton states shine through nanotube engineering
A research team at the City University of New York and the University of Texas at Austin has discovered a way to make previously hidden states of light, known as dark excitons, shine brightly, and control their emission at ...
Phys.org / Ion-pair stealth shield hides nanoparticles from the body's defenses
Japan's Innovation Center of NanoMedicine reports on a new stealth coating for tiny medicine-carrying particles that doesn't depend on PEG-style shields. By locking positive and negative charges together into a tight net, ...
