Apple Studio Display vs. Samsung ViewFinity S9 [Does Samsung win at 44% off?]
Just over a year and a half after Apple launched its Studio Display, Samsung released a direct competitor with its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor. With many of the same features as Studio Display plus some beyond, it’s an interesting alternative. Follow.....»»
Constraining the dynamics of rotating black holes via the gauge symmetry principle
In 2015, the LIGO/Virgo experiment, a large-scale research effort based at two observatories in the United States, led to the first direct observation of gravitational waves. This important milestone has since prompted physicists worldwide to devise.....»»
Vaccinating livestock against common diseases is a form of direct climate action, say researchers
Animal diseases have a devastating impact on livestock production. In 2022, for example, 131 million domestic poultry died or was culled as a result of avian influenza (also called "bird flu")......»»
Scientists uncover link between ocean weather and global climate, using mechanical rather than statistical analysis
An international team of scientists has found the first direct evidence linking seemingly random weather systems in the ocean with climate on a global scale. Led by Hussein Aluie, an associate professor in the University of Rochester's Department of.....»»
How government payments to the vulnerable can multiply to create economic growth for everyone
The economic fallout of COVID-19 left people around the world facing a significant threat to their livelihood. As governments scrambled to mitigate the pandemic's impact on their populations, many decided to use direct payments to support vulnerable.....»»
North America"s first people may have arrived by sea ice highway as early as 24,000 years ago
One of the hottest debates in archaeology is how and when humans first arrived in North America. Archaeologists have traditionally argued that people walked through an ice-free corridor that briefly opened between ice sheets an estimated 13,000 years.....»»

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has a significant role in membrane production for water purification and bio-separation, with capacity to create new and cleverly designed structures......»»
Discovery of magnetic liquid crystal: First direct observation of spin quadrupole moments in a spin-nematic phase
Liquid crystal is a state of matter that exhibits properties of both liquid and solid. It can flow like a liquid, while its constituent molecules are aligned as in a solid. Liquid crystal is widely used nowadays, for example, as a core element of LCD.....»»

Study shows how hurricane acted as a highway to transport microplastics to remote part of Newfoundland
When a hurricane approaches and crosses land, severe damage can occur—often leaving an obvious trail of physical destruction. What's less obvious to the naked eye is how these storms can carry harmful microplastics across the world......»»
Researchers transform captured greenhouse gases into cyclic carbonates with biomass derivatives
Carbon dioxide is the main contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, which are responsible for global warming and climate change. Direct capture of CO2 in the air is one of the solutions proposed to reduce its concentration in the atmosphere, but comb.....»»
Spinning up control: Propeller shape helps direct nanoparticles, researchers say
Self-propelled nanoparticles could potentially advance drug delivery and lab-on-a-chip systems—but they are prone to go rogue with random, directionless movements. Now, an international team of researchers has developed an approach to rein in the s.....»»
