Controlling self-doping in magnetite with temperature
One of the most abundant iron-containing minerals on Earth, and also the oldest known magnetic material, is magnetite, Fe3O4. Magnetite has applications in many fields, such as the study of paleomagnetism—magnetism in rocks induced at the time of t.....»»
A novel thermal insulation material for ultra-high temperature applications: Hierarchical porous high-entropy ceramics
Thermal insulation material is a critical part of the thermal protection system (TPS) of hypersonic vehicles. Recently, high-entropy ceramics have attracted great attention in thermal insulation for their low thermal conductivity due to the scatterin.....»»
A microscopic factory for small runners: New method uses magnetic loops for growth control
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a new method for controlling the growth of physical micro-runners. They used an external magnetic field to assemble paramagnetic colloidal spheres—i.e. only magnetic due to external influence.....»»
Eve unveils new Eve Weather with Matter support
Eve has released the Matter version of its . This new model features a large display that shows outdoor temperature, humidity, and a local 12-hour weather trend. With the Matter upgrade, you can ask about current conditions via the Eve app or your pr.....»»
Don"t underestimate the increasingly warm summer temperatures, says Swiss expert
What's happened to the summer? I've been asked this question a lot over the past few weeks. Just like May, June was changeable, wet and lacking in sunshine. But it wasn't too cold. According to MeteoSwiss, the average daily temperature in June was st.....»»
Tropical plant species are as threatened by climate change as widely feared, study confirms
Brown University biologists who set out to better understand the effects of climate change on plant species in tropical mountain regions found that even small variations in temperature and moisture can have massive impacts, threatening not only plant.....»»
Study highlights potential for genetic manipulation in cucumber breeding
The CLAVATA (CLV) signaling pathway is crucial for controlling flower and fruit development by regulating the shoot apical meristem (SAM) size. Despite its significance, the downstream signaling components in crops remain largely unknown. Understandi.....»»
Wildfires in South Africa are set to increase: How legal action can help the country adapt better to climate change
As climate change drives temperature increases and lower precipitation in southern Africa, research has found that there is likely to be an increase in the number of wildfires in regions that are already hot, dry and water scarce......»»
Mega-iceberg melt affects important marine ecosystem
Scientists have for the first time taken in-situ ocean measurements during the collapse of a giant iceberg in the sub-Antarctic. These new observations reveal how ocean ecosystems may be affected if more icebergs calve due to warmer ocean temperature.....»»
Study shows how organic molecules impact gold nanoparticles" electrochemical properties
A new study shows how organic molecules greatly influence the redox potential of gold nanoparticles, with differences up to 71 mV. Using experiments and computer simulations, the study highlights the important role of capping agents in controlling th.....»»
Intel CPUs may get even hotter
New leaks about Intel Arrow Lake and Panther Lake suggest that these next-gen CPUs will have a higher maximum temperature......»»
Study shows how narcissistic CEOs influence boards of directors to take more risk
Narcissistic CEOs who also serve as chairs of the board are adept at controlling how their boards of directors focus their attention, giving the CEO the ability to get their way. A new study published in the Strategic Management Journal has found tha.....»»
Using RNA technology to develop a chemical-free way for controlling flystrike in sheep
A chemical-free method of controlling flystrike in sheep is a step closer, according to University of Queensland research......»»
Atomically thin transducers could one day enable quantum computing at room temperature
Quantum computers have to be kept cold to function—very cold. These machines generally run at "just a few degrees above absolute zero," says Yoseob Yoon, assistant professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at Northeastern University. "It's.....»»
AI model harnesses physics to autocorrect remote sensing data
Turbulence, temperature changes, water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, methane, and other gases absorb, reflect, and scatter sunlight as it passes through the atmosphere, bounces off the Earth's surface, and is collected by a sensor on a remote sensing.....»»
Neutrons are a hot new way to measure the temperature of electronic components
From LEDs to batteries, our lives are full of electronics, and there is a constant push to make them more efficient and reliable. But as components become increasingly sophisticated, getting reliable temperature measurements of specific elements insi.....»»
Tree ring records reveal influence of North Atlantic sea surface temperature fluctuations on climate
With the intensification of global climate change, understanding historical climate patterns is crucial for predicting future trends in climate change......»»
As ocean surfaces acidify, a deep-sea acidic zone is expanding, and marine habitats are being squeezed
In the deepest parts of the ocean, below 4,000 meters, the combination of high pressure and low temperature creates conditions that dissolve calcium carbonate, the material marine animals use to make their shells......»»
High elevation regions may become wildlife refuges through climate change
As climate change advances, its impacts are not universally equal, with temperature rising differently by latitude and elevation. Climate heterogeneity is the study of this diversity in Earth's climate patterns, and the focus of recent research publi.....»»
Polar warming may be underestimated by climate models, ~50 million year old climate variability suggests
Polar regions are known to be warming at an enhanced rate compared to lower latitudes, with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change citing a ~5 °C increase in air temperature over Arctic land masses during the 20th century and the highest rate.....»»
Study shows current strategies are ineffective in controlling Salmonella Dublin in Danish cattle
In a recent study published in the Journal of Dairy Science, researchers from the Complexity Science Hub (CSH), the University of Copenhagen, and SEGES have shown that despite stringent movement restrictions among Danish cattle farms, Salmonella Dubl.....»»
