Phys.org / Tracking forever chemicals across food web shows not all isomers are distributed equally
When University at Buffalo chemists analyzed samples of water, fish, and bird eggs, they weren't surprised to find plenty of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). After all, these "forever chemicals" turn up nearly ...
Tech Xplore / Research shows utilities the path to software-defined operational technology
The next era of power system operations is taking shape through digitalization, artificial intelligence, and intelligent automation. To help utilities and navigate this change, Fraunhofer FIT and Accenture have published ...
Phys.org / Trump NASA nominee aims to beat China in new moon race
Jared Isaacman, US President Donald Trump's two-time appointee to lead NASA, said it was his goal that the United States beat rival China in the race to return humans to the moon, during a Senate confirmation hearing Wednesday.
Phys.org / Emissions from global wildfires far higher than previously thought
The total emissions of greenhouse gases and airborne particles caused by wildfires are almost 70% higher than previously assumed. Researchers at Wageningen University & Research discovered this in a long-term study conducted ...
Phys.org / Discovery of new marine sponges supports hypothesis on animal evolution
A completely new order of marine sponges has been found by researchers at the Museum of Evolution, Uppsala University. The sponge order, named Vilesida, produces substances that could be used in drug development. The same ...
Phys.org / Researchers find promising adaptations to climate change in tropical forests
As tropical forests experience chronic drying and more extreme droughts due to climate change, some plants are adapting by growing longer root systems to reach water deep within soils, according to a study published in November ...
Tech Xplore / 'Rock candy' technique offers simpler, less costly way to capture carbon directly from air
University of Toronto Engineering researchers have discovered a new way of capturing carbon directly from the air—one that could offer significant cost savings over current methods.
Tech Xplore / How scientists are growing computers from human brain cells—and why they want to keep doing it
As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational hardware.
Tech Xplore / Mapping the cosmos of innovation: AI model charts the age and trajectory of 23,000 technologies
A team of researchers has built one of the most detailed open maps of emerging technologies yet assembled, allowing governments, companies and investors in the United States and worldwide to see what sits inside big fields ...
Phys.org / How sound moves on Mars
Acoustic signals have been important markers during NASA's Mars missions. Measurements of sound can provide information both about Mars itself—such as turbulence in its atmosphere, changes in its temperature, and its surface ...
Phys.org / New code helps scientists map dark matter halos
Dark matter and its impact on cosmology have puzzled physicists for nearly a century. At Perimeter Institute, two researchers are trying to better understand how one potential dark matter candidate, self-interacting dark ...
