Phys.org / Managing hydrogen emissions is key to maximizing climate benefits as hydrogen use expands, say researchers
Current estimates of hydrogen's climate impact are now sufficiently robust to inform policy and business decision-making, according to researchers in a new review article on the climate impacts of hydrogen emissions.
Phys.org / Whiskey chemistry propels microscopic machines through liquid
Whisky-inspired chemicals could help power a new generation of microscopic machines, according to researchers who have discovered a way to make tiny particles "swim" through liquid using compounds linked to the production ...
Phys.org / Amazon rainforest emits new stress-defense molecules during El Niño drought
The Amazon rainforest responded to the most severe drought ever recorded in the basin with an unexpected defense mechanism. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany, found that during and after ...
Medical Xpress / Why insulin, the core element of diabetes treatment remains inaccessible for millions of people
The discovery of insulin in 1921 revolutionized diabetes care. Type 1 diabetes went from being a death sentence to a manageable chronic condition.
Phys.org / Abortion restrictions associated with lower female medical school applicant numbers
States with restrictive abortion policies saw slower growth in the proportion of female medical school applicants following the 2022 reversal of Roe v. Wade, according to a new study published in the open-access journal PLOS ...
Tech Xplore / 100kW fully superconducting aviation motor developed for electrical aircraft
Researchers at a Scottish university have demonstrated a 100kW fully superconducting aviation motor that could help pave the way for an electric aircraft.
Phys.org / Topological states emerge in quantum Hall-superconductor devices with multiple channels
Topological phases are unusual states of matter that give rise to properties protected by a material's overall structure (i.e., "topology"), as opposed to microscopic details. These phases are of great interest for the development ...
Phys.org / Traditional, patriarchal Japanese terms for husband and wife may now be perceived as neutral
A new study suggests that, for modern Japanese speakers, two traditional, patriarchal words for "husband" ("shujin," literally meaning "master") and "wife" ("kanai," "inside-the-house") may be losing their original meanings, ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Why do telomeres shorten when a cell divides, and how does it affect human aging?
In each cell of your body, DNA is stored in structures called chromosomes. When cells divide, these chromosomes are copied, but over time, the copying process degrades. After many cycles of making copies, the ends of the ...
Medical Xpress / New insights into how autistic and non-autistic people learn about one another
New research from the George Washington University has yielded some unexpected insights into how autistic and non-autistic people learn about one another's preferences. The study indicates that both groups rely on similar ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers improve efficiency, durability of nickel-based SOECs for electrochemical CO₂ conversion
A Korean research team has resolved a major durability issue in solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), a technology that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) into high-value chemical feedstocks. Researchers at the Korea Research ...
Phys.org / Meteors are 'extremely common.' What makes the one over New England 'rare'?
A sonic boom shook Boston and the larger New England area with the force of 230 tons of TNT. The source came from outer space. The Saturday afternoon event triggered shock waves online, with thousands inquiring what could ...
