As we shift toward more sustainable fuels, natural gas and biogas, which mainly contain methane (CH4), have become important sources of energy and raw materials for chemical production. However, these gases also contain impurities ...
Phys.org / NASA hit by fuel leaks during a practice countdown of the moon rocket that will fly with astronauts
NASA ran into exasperating fuel leaks during a make-or-break test of its new moon rocket Monday, calling into question how soon astronauts could take off for a trip around the moon.
Tech Xplore / Building with air: How nature's hole-filled blueprints shape manufacturing
If you break open a chicken bone, you won't find a solid mass of white material inside. Instead, you will see a complex, spongelike network of tiny struts and pillars, and a lot of empty space.
Phys.org / The infant universe's 'primordial soup' was actually soupy, study finds
In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles zinged around at light speed, creating a "quark-gluon plasma" that lasted for only a few millionths ...
Phys.org / Western Cascades forests historically saw more fire than previously thought, study indicates
New research led by a University of Oregon ecologist suggests that fire was historically more frequent in the Douglas fir forests of the western Oregon Cascade Range than previously believed.
Medical Xpress / Photon-counting CT outperforms conventional CT in lung cancer management
In a prospective imaging study of 200 adults with lung cancer, photon-counting CT reduced radiation exposure, yielded fewer adverse reactions and provided higher image quality and better detection of malignant features compared ...
Phys.org / A world-first mouse that makes gene activity visible
DNA can be thought of as a vast library that stores all genetic information. Cells do not use this information all at once. Instead, they copy only the necessary parts into RNA, which is then used to produce proteins—the ...
Medical Xpress / Education matters more than income to reduce premature adult mortality in India, finds study
IIASA researchers explored why mortality among adults of working age remains high in India alongside rapid economic growth, finding that education—at both individual and community levels—is more strongly associated with ...
