Nanoneedles formed on an electrocatalyst improve hydrogen production
The low-cost, efficient production of hydrogen is an important step toward developing alternative, clean energy sources. Electrochemical water splitting, which splits water into its hydrogen and oxygen elements using an electrocatalyst, is a viable o.....»»
Rip currents are dangerous for swimmers but also ecologically important—how scientists are working to understand them
If you've ever waded into the ocean for a swim and suddenly realized that the shore is getting farther away, not closer, you may have encountered a rip current. Common at beaches worldwide, these powerful currents flow from the shore toward the sea a.....»»
Building a high-performance electrochemical sensor using activated biochar from pineapple peel waste
The agricultural industry produces a significant amount of food globally, but one third of the solid food produced each year goes to waste, resulting in negative environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emissions. To address this issue, researchers f.....»»

Stronger winds shift water from the Labrador Current eastward, with dire consequences for marine ecosystems
Changes to the flow of the Labrador Current along the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador to Nova Scotia are leading to sudden warmings or drops in the oxygen levels of the waters in several regions including the St. Lawrence Gulf and Estuary. This ch.....»»
Novel algorithm improves understanding of plasma shock waves in space
Imagine the explosive disturbance caused by a jet going supersonic. A similar shock wave occurs when subatomic particles known as "solar wind" flow from the sun and strike the Earth's magnetic field. Now, scientists have used a recently developed tec.....»»
Flow of water on a carbon surface is governed by quantum friction, says study
Water and carbon make a quantum couple: the flow of water on a carbon surface is governed by an unusual phenomenon dubbed quantum friction. A new work published in Nature Nanotechnology experimentally demonstrates this phenomenon—which was predicte.....»»
