Phys.org / 'Rivers in the sky' influence marine heat waves
Long, narrow bands of moving moisture in the sky, known as atmospheric rivers, contribute to heat waves in the marine environment, according to a new study published in Nature Communications by researchers from Duke University's ...
Phys.org / New shrimpgoby species named after its colors and 'The Sunrise of Java'
Researchers have described a new species of shrimpgoby from the coastal waters off Banyuwangi, East Java, and given it a name that pays tribute to both its fiery coloration and its birthplace.
Phys.org / Scientists cut and rebuild molecules from the inside to create new chiral nanocarbons
Nanocarbons are molecular-scale carbon structures considered to be the building blocks for next-generation materials. Until now, scientists have built them by fusing small, flat carbon molecules together at their edges. Modifying ...
Phys.org / Nanomace catalyst boosts greenhouse gas breakdown up to 14.4-fold
Seoul National University (SNU) College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Jeong Woo Han of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering has developed a new nanostructured catalyst with ...
Phys.org / Tropical insects may be running out of room as temperatures rise
New research from Costa Rica's Área de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) suggests that tropical insects may be vulnerable to rising temperatures. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined ...
Phys.org / Self-adaptive Cu–Co catalyst converts nitrate pollution into green ammonia through dynamic catalyst reconstruction
Nitrate contamination originating from agricultural runoff, industrial wastewater and municipal effluents is a growing global environmental problem. At the same time, ammonia has emerged as a key chemical feedstock and an ...
Phys.org / US residents near small rivers face disproportionately high future flood risks
An international team, including Kumamoto University and its partner institutions, has found severe flood risks and high climate-adaptation costs for U.S. small rivers.
Dialog / AI-designed SARS-CoV-2 variants escape prevalent antibodies
While headlines warn that AI could unleash future biological threats, the technology also offers our best defense: a way to anticipate viral evolution and stress-test treatments. Rather than waiting for SARS-CoV-2 to mutate ...
Phys.org / AI-powered camera system offers low-cost way to monitor bumblebees, potentially other insects
Researchers have developed a low-cost, semi-automated, AI-driven method that uses remote cameras to survey bumblebees and potentially other insects. The new tool could have important implications for efforts to conserve declining ...
Phys.org / Plant-derived lignin could guide bone repair by forming bone-like minerals
A naturally abundant plant material best known for giving trees and crops their strength may one day help repair broken bones, according to a new study led by postdoctoral researcher Dr. Srinath Palakurthy and Professor Rivka ...
Phys.org / AI models explain 17% of earnings-day stock moves, up from 5%
To explain the stock market's reaction to earnings results, investors and other market participants have used a standard tool for decades: the earnings surprise.
Phys.org / Dynamic 'breathing' in nanopore structures can maximize efficiency of molecule separation and diffusion
Nanoporous material-based separation technology is vital in many applications because it can precisely distinguish between and separate nearly identical chemical or biochemical molecules.
