Researchers have developed new ways to detect sugar syrup adulteration in honey, paving the way for fast and accurate tests to discover fake products.
Decoding mysterious seismic signals
Geophysicists find link between seismic waves called PKP precursors and anomalies in Earth's mantle that are associated with hotspots associated with volcanism on the surface.
Scientists discover phenomenon impacting Earth’s radiation belts
Two scientists discovered a new type of 'whistler,' an electromagnetic wave that carries a substantial amount of lightning energy to the Earth's magnetosphere.
New twist on synthesis technique promises sustainable manufacturing
Researchers developed a new method known as flash-within-flash Joule heating (FWF) that could transform the synthesis of high-quality solid-state materials, offering a cleaner, faster and more sustainable manufacturing process.
Tracking down the asteroid that sealed the fate of the dinosaurs
The asteroid that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago probably came from the outer solar system.
Galaxies in Dense Environments Tend to be Larger, Settling One Cosmic Question and Raising Others
For decades, scientists have known that some galaxies reside in dense environments with lots of other galaxies nearby.
New Research Shows Unprecedented Atmospheric Changes During May’s Geomagnetic Superstorm
On May 11, a gorgeous aurora surprised stargazers across the southern United States. That same weekend, a tractor guided by GPS missed its mark.
Rural Migration Links to Land Use, Climate Change Need More Attention, Scientists Say
Climate and other environmental changes sometimes drive people to migrate, especially if the land no longer supports a population’s way of life.
Exploring options for the sustainable management of phosphorus
A new study assessed the feasibility of recovering phosphorus from municipal wastewater as an alternative sustainable source of this non-renewable mineral.
Hailstone library to improve extreme weather forecasting
Researchers are measuring and scanning samples for a global 'hailstone library'. Storm simulations using 3-D modelling of real hailstones -- in all sorts of weird shapes from oblong to flat discs or with spikes coming out -- show it behaves differently than spherical hail shapes. Data from the hail library...
