Capturing carbon dioxide with electricity: A microbial enzyme inspires electrochemistry
Humans continuously emits greenhouse gases, worsening global warming. For example, carbon dioxide (CO2) accumulates dramatically over the years and is chemically very stable. Yet, some microbes capture CO2 using highly efficient enzymes. Scientists f.....»»
Scientists reveal how phosphate escapes from actin filaments
Actin filaments are dynamic protein-fibers in the cell built from single actin proteins. Many cellular functions, including cell movement, are regulated by constant filament assembly and disassembly. The disassembly phase is initiated by the release.....»»
The catch-22s of reservoir computing: Researchers find overlooked weakness in powerful machine learning tool
In nonlinear dynamic systems, a change in one place can trigger an outsized change elsewhere. The climate, the workings of the human brain, and the behavior of the electric grid are all examples—and all change dramatically over time. Because of the.....»»
iOS 17.1 brings Dynamic Island flashlight indicator to iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15
On Wednesday, Apple released the first beta of iOS 17.1 to developers, as the company promised to bring some new features later this year. We’ve already covered most of what’s new in the iOS 17.1 beta here, but there’s another interesting chang.....»»
Study finds climate policy alone cannot meaningfully reduce racial/economic disparities in air pollution exposure
Decarbonization of national economies will be key to achieving global net-zero emissions by 2050, a major stepping stone to the Paris Agreement's long-term goal of keeping global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius (and ideally 1.5 C), and thereby a.....»»
Advanced imaging reveals the last bite of a 465-million-year-old trilobite
Paleontologists from the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, and their colleagues describes a 465-million-year-old trilobite with preserved gut contents in a new study. The research was published in Nature......»»
Balancing social missions with profitability
A study in the International Journal of Business Excellence has revealed how accountability in the performance of social village-owned enterprises (VOEs) is critical to their meeting both their social mission and achieving financial viability without.....»»
Scientists marry MRI, ultrasound, and optoacoustics for improved medical exams
Physicians and researchers rely on biomedical imaging to examine the structure and function of living tissue. This enables disease diagnostics and experiments that reveal the mechanisms behind pathologies and ways to treat them. The most popular tech.....»»
Holographic hybridization technique allows changes of depth of field in recorded pictures and videos
Most of the imaging technologies available today, including smartphone cameras, digital video cameras, microscopes and telescopes, are based on the concepts of direct imaging, i.e., a camera directly recording a scene in a single step. This is precis.....»»
Researchers build and test a framework for achieving climate resilience across diverse fisheries
What makes for a successful climate-resilient fishery, one that sustainably produces resources for human benefit despite increasing climate stressors and human impacts? It's a question that faces present and future fisheries, their practitioners and.....»»
Imaging the elusive skyrmion: Neutron tomography reveals their shapes and dynamics in bulk materials
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with colleagues elsewhere have employed neutron imaging and a reconstruction algorithm to reveal for the first time the 3D shapes and dynamics of very small tornado-like atomic m.....»»
Improving air quality forecasting with daily update of emission inventory
In the realm of air quality forecasting, the precision of predictions largely hinges on the accuracy of emission inventory data. Traditional methods, which often update only once a year or less, face challenges in keeping pace with the dynamic nature.....»»
New imaging technique detects virus movement in unprecedented detail
Proteins are the workhorses of biological systems, carrying out their work with extraordinary precision and speed. For years, observing proteins in action has been a significant challenge, as imaging methods often lacked sufficient speed and resoluti.....»»
Material would allow users to "tune" windows to block targeted wavelengths of light
Researchers have demonstrated a material for next generation dynamic windows, which would allow building occupants to switch their windows between three modes: transparent, or "normal" windows; windows that block infrared light, helping to keep a bui.....»»
SpaceX knocks out Space Coast"s 50th launch of the year
A SpaceX launch from Cape Canaveral lit up the Space Coast for the 50th time this year while also achieving a milestone for the company......»»
Reviewers praise iPhone 15"s Dynamic Island, 48MP camera, and pink color
The first reviews of the new iPhone 15 are starting to arrive, and they're telling the same story of a strong iPhone with most of last year's iPhone 14 Pro features — but not all.Apple's new iPhone 15 in pinkWhen Apple announced the iPhone 15 and.....»»
Multi-objective decision support tools for protected area selection to reach the 30x30 target
The establishment and preservation of protected areas is a key measure for achieving the goals set during the World Conference on Nature in December 2022. However, such protected areas often need to fulfill multiple objectives, such as climate protec.....»»
Novel approach to engineered cells may enable molecular medical imaging
A tiny molecular structure that looks like a bubble may be able to significantly improve medical imaging, according to a Penn State research team. Called gas vesicles (GVs), these structures are naturally produced by certain microorganisms and are re.....»»
