Phys.org / Researchers develop efficient, reusable compound for capturing carbon dioxide from air
A new method to capture carbon dioxide from the air has been developed at the University of Helsinki's chemistry department.
Phys.org / Wildland fires emit more air pollution than previously estimated, study finds
As fires burn the landscape, they spew airborne gases and particles, though their impact on air pollution might be underestimated.
Phys.org / ASKAP discovers a spectacular outflow in a nearby galaxy
Using the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), an international team of astronomers has discovered a spectacular bipolar outflow from the disk of a nearby galaxy known as ESO 130-G012. The finding was reported ...
Tech Xplore / New robotic skin lets humanoid robots sense pain and react instantly
If you accidentally put your hand on a hot object, you'll naturally pull it away fast, before you have to think about it. This happens thanks to sensory nerves in your skin that send a lightning-fast signal to your spinal ...
Medical Xpress / High risk of sleep apnea linked to poorer mental health in adults over 45
Researchers at Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and University of Ottawa found that high risk of obstructive sleep apnea was associated with approximately 40% higher odds of a composite poor mental health outcome at baseline ...
Phys.org / Why we may be misreading our dogs' emotions
Humans and dogs have been living together side by side for thousands of years, so you would think we know everything about our four-legged friends by now. But we may not understand them as well as we think we do.
Medical Xpress / Sulfate and carbon in fine air pollution tied to higher depression risk
Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter like PM2.5 components in polluted air can not only cause respiratory diseases, but also increase the risk of depression in older people, especially in those living with preexisting ...
Phys.org / These Illinois dairy and beef farms make raising methane-belching cows part of the climate solution
Illinois is a top agricultural state, generating billions of dollars annually, but even where stalks of corn and acres of soybean vastly outnumber its 400,000 head of cattle, cows raised for beef and dairy account for an ...
Phys.org / Multi-core black carbon particles found to boost light absorption in wildfire smoke
Researchers at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) have contributed to a study revealing that conventional theories on the structure of black carbon particles—such as those emitted by wildfires—may have significantly ...
Phys.org / Are Colorado's new natural gas pipeline rules tough enough?
A state audit in 2023 painted a grim picture of Colorado's oversight of natural gas pipelines, but critics say despite the findings and legislation mandating improvements, new rules backed by regulators are inadequate.
Phys.org / Before we build on the moon, we have to master the commute
Even most rocket scientists would rather avoid hard math when they don't have to do it. So when it comes to figuring out orbits in complex three-body systems, like those in cis-lunar space, which is between Earth and the ...
Phys.org / Colorado River: Upper Basin states must be willing to compromise
The states along the Colorado River are proving the truth of the famous adage often attributed to Mark Twain: "Whiskey is for drinking; water is for fighting over."
