Photosynthesis ‘hack’ could lead to new ways of generating renewable energy
Researchers have 'hacked' the earliest stages of photosynthesis, the natural machine that powers the vast majority of life on Earth, and discovered new ways to extract energy from the process, a finding that could lead to new ways of generating clean fuel and renewable energy.
Climate Change Affects Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Stream Networks
Natural greenhouse gas emissions from streams and lakes are strongly linked to water discharge and temperature according to a new study led by Linköping University, Sweden.
Changing Temperatures Increase Pesticide Risk to Bees
Temperature influences how badly pesticides affect bees’ behaviour, suggesting uncertain impacts under climate change, according to a new study.
Uracil found in Ryugu samples
Samples from the asteroid Ryugu collected by the Hayabusa2 mission contain nitrogenous organic compounds, including the nucleobase uracil, which is a part of RNA.
Honey, the 3D print–I mean, dessert–is ready!
Cooking devices that incorporate three-dimensional (3D) printers, lasers, or other software-driven processes may soon replace conventional cooking appliances such as ovens, stovetops, and microwaves. But will people want to use a 3D printer -- even one as beautifully designed as a high-end coffee maker -- on their kitchen counters to...
Synthesis gas and battery power from sunlight energy
Plants use photosynthesis to harvest energy from sunlight. Now researchers have applied this principle as the basis for developing new sustainable processes which in the future may produce syngas (synthetic gas) for the large-scale chemical industry and be able to charge batteries.
Study Confirms Nitrate Can Draw Uranium Into Groundwater
Eight years ago, the data was sound but only suggestive, the evidence strong but circumstantial.
UC Irvine-Led Team Is First to Detect Neutrinos Made by a Particle Collider
In a scientific first, a team led by physicists at the University of California, Irvine has detected neutrinos created by a particle collider.
New Simulation Reveals Secrets Of Exotic Form Of Electrons Called Polarons
A new leaf has turned in scientists' hunt for developing cutting-edge materials used in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV's, touchscreens, and more.
