Conventional aerobic methanotrophs have metabolic versatility under anoxia
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 28 –34 times that of carbon dioxide on a centennial time scale. Microbial CH4 oxidation acts as a biofilter, preventing more than 90% of CH4 from entering the atmosphere......»»
Google unveils $1799 Pixel Fold, the latest Android folding smartphone
Google's new Pixel Fold smartphone merges the utility of its Pixel line with a folding design that expands into a sleek tablet — for $1799.Pixel FoldWhen Pixel Fold is closed, it has a conventional smartphone shape that comfortably fits in a hand a.....»»
Using plasma against toxic PFAS chemicals
Harmful PFAS chemicals can now be detected in many soils and bodies of water. Removing them using conventional filter techniques is costly and almost infeasible. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IG.....»»
Scientists map the distribution of carnitine in muscle cells
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a way of mapping the distribution of carnitine in skeletal muscle cells. Carnitine is a compound that helps transport fatty acids and reduce metabolic byproducts. They discovered that slow.....»»
Extracting potent COVID-fighting pharmaceuticals for protective sprays
David Needham, professor of mechanical engineering and materials science at Duke University, has demonstrated that a metabolic inhibiting drug called niclosamide, traditionally used to treat gut parasites, can readily be extracted and dissolved from.....»»
A high-throughput AI method for leaf counting
In cereal crops, the number of new leaves each plant produces is used to study the periodic events that constitute the biological life cycle of the crop. The conventional method of determining leaf numbers involves manual counting, which is slow, lab.....»»
US Apple customers favor iPhone 14 Pro models according to unsurprising survey
As conventional wisdom has suggested since launch, the iPhone 14 Pro lineup accounted for most iPhone sales in the US in early 2023, and the iPhone 14 Plus struggled.iPhone 14 ProThe newest quarterly report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partner.....»»
Cracking the case of mitochondrial repair and replacement in metabolic stress
Scientists often act as detectives, piecing together clues that alone may seem meaningless but together crack the case. Professor Reuben Shaw has spent nearly two decades piecing together such clues to understand the cellular response to metabolic st.....»»

Improving alloys: Researchers successfully establish a strong mechanical bond of immiscible iron and magnesium
Conventional transportation equipment relies heavily on steel. But steel is heavy, and scientists are turning to alternatives in the quest to improve the safety and speed of transportation, while simultaneously lessening its environmental footprint......»»
Why the Galaxy S23 is the small phone you’ve been waiting for
Opting for a small phone means compromising on battery life, display, and camera versatility. The Samsung Galaxy S23 changes that......»»
How does an aging-associated enzyme access our genetic material?
New research provides insight into how an enzyme that helps regulate aging and other metabolic processes accesses our genetic material to modulate gene expression within the cell. A team led by Penn State researchers have produced images of a sirtuin.....»»
Meet PassGAN, the supposedly “terrifying” AI password cracker that’s mostly hype
AI cracking is on par with conventional methods, but you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise. Enlarge (credit: Aurich Lawson | Getty Images) By now, you’ve probably heard about a new AI-based password cracker that can.....»»
Optically controlled metasurfaces for dynamic dual-mode modulation
Dynamic control of terahertz (THz) waves at will with an ultra-compact device is important for THz technologies in biomedical imaging, telecommunications, detection, and beyond. However, tunable THz devices made of conventional materials are usually.....»»
Migrating ions through the perovskite layer in two dimensions
Electrostatic doping has been widely used in low-dimensional materials, including carbon nanotube (CNT) and two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Unlike conventional lattice doping with impurity.....»»
Young people may not be quite as addicted to iPhone as assumed
A new study sheds some light on iPhone addiction, and there are some conclusions that defy conventional wisdom and assumptions about the differences between younger and older customers.iPhone 14A new report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partner.....»»
Sustainable development in Africa shaped by subnational administrative capabilities, study shows
The Inclusive Wealth Index (IWI) is a sustainable development and economic progress metric that transcends the conventional means of measuring a nation's prosperity. This innovative metric offers a holistic portrayal of a country's affluence and welf.....»»
Greater duckweed shows metabolic flexibility during trophic transition
Duckweeds, a group of fast-growing aquatic plants, are good candidates for bioenergy production and CO2 capture because of their simple structure, fast growth rate and high starch content. At present, duckweed cultivation mainly focuses on a photoaut.....»»
Is it COVID-19 or the flu? New sensor could tell you in 10 seconds
Have a cough, sore throat and congestion? Any number of respiratory viruses could be responsible. Conventional tests can identify certain likely culprits by relying on chemical reactions, but some researchers want to swap chemistry for electrical cha.....»»
Study paves way to more efficient production of 2G ethanol using specially modified yeast strain
A Brazilian study paves the way to increased efficiency of second-generation (2G) ethanol production based on the discovery of novel targets for metabolic engineering in a more robust strain of industrial yeast. An article on the study is published i.....»»
