Capturing a cosmogenic isotope to determine the age of artifacts
You may probably wonder how archaeologists determine the age of ancient artifacts or how long a piece of rock exists above the surface. Isotopic dating can tell the age covering hundreds of thousands of years. For instance, common carbon isotope 14C.....»»
Bacteria found in desert pave the way for paint that produces oxygen while capturing carbon
An innovative paint that contains oxygen-producing bacteria capable of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) has been created by scientists from the University of Surrey. Researchers suggest this paint, known as a "biocoating," could be used in extreme envi.....»»

Abandoned Farms Are a Hidden Resource for Restoring Biodiversity
A billion acres of old farmland—an area half the size of Australia—has fallen out of use. Ecologists say the lands and degraded forests are neglected resources for rewilding and for capturing carbon......»»
Honey bees may inherit altruistic behavior from their mothers
True altruism is rare behavior in animals, but a new study by Penn State researchers has found that honey bees display this trait. Additionally, they found that an evolutionary battle of genetics may determine the parent from whom they inherit it......»»
Isotope database will help Mexican communities better understand hydrology processes
With a population of 127 million and a land mass about a fifth the size of the United States, Mexico has a large spectrum of climates and landscapes, ranging from mountains to coastal regions and from deserts to glaciers. Because of these variations,.....»»
Europe asks if Digital Markets Act should apply to iMessage
EU officials are asking rivals of the tech giants whether Apple's iMessage should be subjected to the rules of the Digital Markets Act, to help determine the next course of action for the regulators.European flagsThe European Union's Digital Markets.....»»
Deciphering the intensity of past ocean currents
Ocean currents determine the structure of the deep-sea ocean floor and the transport of sediments, organic carbon, nutrients and pollutants. In flume-tank experiments, researchers from MARUM—Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the Universit.....»»
Astrophysicists determine how to find a supernova
The probability of detecting a supernova associated with a gamma-ray burst is currently 0.00346%. A network of several telescopes in different geographical coordinates, checking data in different photometric filters, analyzing images and taking into.....»»
How proteins roll the dice to determine bee sex
To date it has been unclear exactly how the sex of a bee is determined. A research team from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) including biologists and chemists has now identified a key gene and the molecular mechanism linked with it. In th.....»»
Code sleuth discovers reference to Apple Pencil charging via USB-C
Apple could be preparing for an Apple Pencil 3 with USB-C, but it is difficult to determine exactly what a code reference is suggesting in iOS 17.1 beta 2.A USB-C Apple Pencil could be on the wayThe 10.9-inch iPad was released with a USB-C port and c.....»»
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.....»»
Researchers develop minimal nanozymes with carbon dioxide capture capacity
Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) researchers have developed minimal nanozymes with the capacity of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted in industrial processes—and applicable to other environmental remediation processes—based on artific.....»»

New camera offers ultrafast imaging at a fraction of the normal cost
Capturing blur-free images of fast movements like falling water droplets or molecular interactions requires expensive ultrafast cameras that acquire millions of images per second. In a new paper, researchers report a camera that could offer a much le.....»»
Researchers develop model system to assess the efficacy of shark sanctuaries
Virginia Tech researchers in the College of Natural Resources and Environment are assessing the efficacy of shark sanctuaries by developing a modeling system that utilizes publicly accessible fishing data to determine shark catch and mortality rates......»»
People who primarily "use their own gut feeling" more easily believe conspiracy theories: Study
People who primarily use their own gut feeling to determine what is true and false are more likely to believe conspiracy theories. That is the conclusion of researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, who have investigated the relationship between.....»»
Capturing the chemistry of radium-223 for cancer treatment
Scientists need a better understanding of the chemistry of radium to be able to target the isotope radium-223 (Ra-223) to cancer cells. Once delivered, Ra-223 can destroy those cells with alpha particles, a type of radiation......»»
Study suggests energy-efficient route to capturing and converting carbon dioxide
In the race to draw down greenhouse gas emissions around the world, scientists at MIT are looking to carbon-capture technologies to decarbonize the most stubborn industrial emitters......»»
