Phys.org / Green clay courts serve up environmental solutions by absorbing carbon dioxide
Green clay tennis courts are able to absorb massive amounts of carbon dioxide via enhanced rock weathering, according to a new study in Applied Geochemistry. Enhanced rock weathering—the process of using silicate rocks ...
Phys.org / The 'silent takeover': Invasive bees are reshaping Chile's unique pollination networks
Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss and invasive pollinators can reshape native plant-pollinator networks. A new study published in the journal NeoBiota reveals that invasive pollinators are fundamentally ...
Phys.org / Study reshapes understanding of interaction between organelles in animal cells
Findings from a new University of Cincinnati study have reshaped the fundamental understanding of how a certain cell organelle prepares its environment for cellular digestion. The study, led by UC's Jiajie Diao, Ph.D. and ...
Phys.org / A safer, nonflammable battery electrolyte exists, but self-assembly flaw is holding it back
Many important technologies, from handheld phones to medical devices and transportation vehicles, rely on rechargeable batteries. Modern top-of-the-line rechargeable batteries transport lithium ions between electrodes to ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic weakness may help target deadly small cell neuroendocrine cancers
UCLA researchers have uncovered a hidden weakness in some of the deadliest cancers, revealing a potential new strategy for targeting tumors that have long resisted treatment. Small cell neuroendocrine cancers, aggressive ...
Phys.org / First quantum oscillations observed in gallium nitride holes
Gallium nitride, a semiconductor that can operate at high voltages, temperatures, and frequencies, has enabled technologies from LED lighting to high-power electronics. Now Cornell researchers have observed a quantum property ...
Phys.org / The 'private solution trap': Why richer countries may favor adaptation over public solutions, and who pays
A new study, led by the University of Nottingham and conducted by a team of 72 economists and psychologists across the world, has identified a potential "private solution trap" in problems requiring international cooperation ...
Medical Xpress / Changes in protein production linked to autism-like behavior in mice
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in how people interact or communicate with others, as well as restricted interests and repetitive patterns of behavior. Past studies ...
Phys.org / Engineered E. coli can monitor arsenic, offering a cheap biosensor
Cornell scientists have engineered E. coli to act as a sensitive biosensor for monitoring environmental arsenic, a toxic pollutant most notably found in rice paddies in Southeast Asia. Their new study provides a proof of ...
Medical Xpress / Dual immune response may keep HIV in check without medication
Imagine a game of chess where your opponent's king is in check. It cannot move, but the game is not over—the piece remains on the board. This is how the body might control HIV on its own: The virus would be contained and ...
Medical Xpress / Rural residents have highest cancer death rates, researchers say
Rural residents face an increasingly larger share of cancer deaths in the U.S., with the gap continuing to widen between them and their urban brethren, a new study says. Rural areas had the highest cancer death rates from ...
Phys.org / The evolutionary secret of the California poppy's alkaloids
Characteristic features of plants, such as their active ingredients or flower color, may have developed through very different evolutionary histories. This is shown by an international study on the orange-flowering California ...
