Special vascular cells adjust blood flow in brain capillaries based on local energy needs
When we smell hot dogs, it may trigger memories of backyard barbeques or attending baseball games during childhood. During this process, the areas of the brain that control smell and long-term memory are rapidly firing off impulses. To fuel these sig.....»»
Using cancer cells as logic gates to determine what makes them move
Cancer cells migrate through the body for multiple reasons; some are simply following the flow of a fluid, while others are actively following specific chemical trails. So how do you determine which cells are moving and why? Purdue University researc.....»»
Researchers unravel the complex reaction pathways in zero carbon fuel synthesis
Photosynthesis is the natural process of converting carbon dioxide (CO2) to useable chemical compounds. In contrast, carbon capture and utilization technologies through processes such as electrochemical CO2 reduction (eCO2R) are the man-made equivale.....»»
ROG Flow X13 (2023) vs. ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023): compact gaming laptops

Lasers used to guide lightning strikes to a safe target
Lightning strikes flow along laser's path for tens of meters. Enlarge / The laser beam passes near the lightning rod on the Säntis Tower. (credit: TRUMPF/Martin Stollberg ) Lightning rods protect buildings by providing.....»»
Sympatric or micro-allopatric speciation in glacial lake? Genomic islands support neither
Speciation is one of the core issues in evolutionary biology. Sympatric speciation is the evolution of reproductive isolation without geographic barriers in which new species arise from a single ancestral population. However, bidirectional gene flow.....»»
An electrochemical biosensor for antibody detection
The quantitative detection of specific antibodies in complex samples such as blood can provide information on many different diseases but usually requires a complicated laboratory procedure. A new method for the rapid, inexpensive, yet quantitative a.....»»
All in the planning: State policies working to fix Gulf nutrient pollution
Tackling nutrient pollution in the Gulf of Mexico is a big job, requiring coordination between dozens of states whose waters flow into the Mississippi. Although a 2011 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency memo set a framework for each state to reduce.....»»
Why is drought-weary Los Angeles letting stormwater flow into the Pacific Ocean?
The Los Angeles River roared to life this week as a series of powerful storms moved through the Southland. In Long Beach, 3 feet of water shut down the 710 Freeway in both directions, while flooding in the San Fernando Valley forced the closure of th.....»»
The ROG Flow X13 redesign makes it even thinner, even more powerful
Asus announces updates to its thin-and-light ROG Flow line of gaming laptops, including the Flow X13, Flow Z13, and Flow X16......»»
Electronic bridge allows rapid energy sharing between semiconductors
As semiconductor devices become ever smaller, researchers are exploring two-dimensional (2D) materials for potential applications in transistors and optoelectronics. Controlling the flow of electricity and heat through these materials is key to their.....»»
Venus may have Earth-like lithospheric thickness and heat flow
Poor old Venera 9, the Soviet Union's Venus lander, separated from its orbiter and made a hot, violent descent through the dense Venusian atmosphere on October 22, 1975, landing hard on a circular shield designed to crumple and absorb the impact. It.....»»
A New Computer Proof ‘Blows Up’ Centuries-Old Fluid Equations
For more than 250 years, mathematicians have wondered if the Euler equations might sometimes fail to describe a fluid’s flow. Now there’s a breakthrough......»»
The world"s largest turbulence simulation unmasks the flow of energy in astrophysical plasmas
Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden heating process that helps explain how the atmosphere that surrounds the sun called the "solar corona" can be vastly hotter than the solar surface that emits it......»»
Reactive strip developed to quickly and easily detect and quantify allergens in foods
