Childbirth versus pelvic floor stability
Human childbirth is comparatively difficult because our babies' heads are large relative to our birth canals. This tight 'fetopelvic' fit increases the risk of obstructed labor, which in turn has potentially dire outcomes for both mother and child. I.....»»
Researchers develop nonlinear optical crystals by unusual cationic substitution strategy
An ideal infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal must have the advantages of a wide transmittance range, impressive laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT), sufficient birefringence index, bulk single-crystal form, and physicochemical stability......»»
Discovery of massive undersea water reservoir could explain New Zealand"s mysterious slow earthquakes
Researchers have discovered a sea's worth of water locked within the sediment and rock of a lost volcanic plateau that's now deep in the Earth's crust. Revealed by a 3D seismic image, the water lies two miles under the ocean floor off the coast of Ne.....»»
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.....»»
Researchers invent a new metallization method of modified tannic acid photoresist patterning
The micro/nano metal pattern formation is a key step in the assembly of various devices. However, ex situ approaches of metal patterning limited their industrial applications due to the poor stability and dispersion of metal nanoparticles. The in sit.....»»
Researchers describe advances in mass spectrometry analysis to improve identification of glycopeptides
Glycosylation is the attachment of carbohydrates to the backbone of a protein through an enzymatic reaction. It plays a critical role in determining protein structure, function and stability. A protein that is glycosylated is known as a glycoprotein......»»
A newly refined map of Zealandia drawn using study of dredged rock samples
A small international team of geologists and seismologists has created a newly refined map of Zealandia using data obtained from dredged rock samples recovered from the ocean floor. They report details in the journal Tectonics......»»
Volvo Cars tailors a solution to tech shortage
To make service technician jobs women-friendly, the Swedish automaker strives to make doing the work more comfortable by reinventing the shop floor uniform......»»
Idea of green growth losing traction among climate policy researchers, survey of nearly 800 academics reveals
When she took to the floor to give her State of the Union speech on 13 September, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen largely stood by the script. Describing her vision of an economically buoyant and sustainable Europe in the era of cl.....»»
In helium-three, superfluid particles pair "like a dance in space"
Picture a nanoscale dance floor full of independently moving particles. When things really start to heat up—or, in this case, cool down—particles partner off, but on opposite sides of the space, "dancing" in synch as if telepathically......»»
Court action necessary to establish climate stability as protected right to break climate change impasse, says professor
New court actions upholding climate stability as a protected right are needed to break the climate change impasse, an Oregon State University economist concludes in a new paper in PLOS Climate......»»
A newly identified virus emerges from the deep
The Mariana Trench, the deepest place on Earth, plunges nearly 11,000 meters at its lowest point on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. Life persists in the deep and cold darkness, and "wherever there's life, you can bet there are regulators at work," sa.....»»
Red Hat and Intel deliver open source industrial automation to the manufacturing shop floor
Red Hat announced a new industrial edge platform, designed in collaboration with Intel, that will provide a modern approach to building and operating industrial controls. By transforming the way manufacturers operate, scale and innovate with standard.....»»
Insights into the biodiversity of annelids in the world"s largest deep-sea mineral exploration region
The demand for rare raw materials, such as cobalt, is fueling the exploration of the deep-sea floor for mining. Commercial deep-sea mining is currently prohibited in areas beyond national jurisdiction, but companies are permitted exploratory operatio.....»»
The limits of nuclear stability change in stellar environments where temperatures reach billions of degrees Celsius
New research is challenging the scientific status quo on the limits of the nuclear chart in hot stellar environments where temperatures reach billions of degrees Celsius......»»
A brightly (multi)colored future for electrochromic devices shines ahead
Vivid displays, enriched color variations and boosted stability are something everyone can look forward to encountering as advances are made in the electrochromic device (ECD) field.....»»
Nvidia DLSS support for Starfield teased alongside stability-improving update
Starfield's first update focuses on improving stability, but Bethesda Game Studios teased that future updates will add Nvidia DLSS support and more......»»
Chinese financial reporting prioritizes communicating stability, strong connections to stakeholders vs. shareholders
It's commonly accepted that U.S. and Chinese companies treat financial reporting and disclosure differently......»»
Researchers develop novel catalyst for carbon dioxide hydrogenation to formate
Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formate is an attractive approach for the utilization of this greenhouse gas. However, non-precious metal-based catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to formate suffer from either low activity or low stability. It i.....»»
