Investigating solid-state atomic hydrogen as a potential hydrogen therapy strategy
The overexpression of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) is closely associated with the onset and progression of diverse chronic diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and chronic diabetic ulcers. Hydrogen therapy, as an emerging and.....»»
Discovery of structural regularity hidden in silica glass
Glass—whether used to insulate our homes or as the screens in our computers and smartphones—is a fundamental material. Yet, despite its long usage throughout human history, the disordered structure of its atomic configuration still baffles scient.....»»
NOAA unveils new tool for exploring coral reef data
NOAA's National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) launched a new data visualization tool today, which will provide free and easy-to-access information on the status of U.S. coral reefs. It is the first tool focusing on shallow tropical coral reef.....»»
Examining the role wolves play in boreal forest dynamics as they constrain beaver movements
A team of land managers at the University of Minnesota, working with a colleague at the University of Manitoba, has learned more about the role wolves play in boreal forest dynamics as they prey on beavers. In their study, published in Proceedings of.....»»
Unlocking the secrets of spin with high-harmonic probes
Deep within every piece of magnetic material, electrons dance to the invisible tune of quantum mechanics. Their spins, akin to tiny atomic tops, dictate the magnetic behavior of the material they inhabit. This microscopic ballet is the cornerstone of.....»»
Global warming–induced sea level changes could increase earthquake risk
Earthquakes often occur along plate boundaries, when sudden movements of the "stuck" plates release elastic strain energy, sending out seismic waves that result in the ground shaking familiar to many worldwide. More rarely, earthquakes occur within p.....»»
Temperature increase triggers viral infection: Research maps what happens on an atomic level
Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the U.S., have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised......»»
Presence of atomic oxygen confirmed on both day and night sides of Venus
A multi-institutional team of astrophysicists from Germany has made the first direct observation of oxygen atoms in the day side atmosphere of Venus. In their project, reported in the journal Nature Communications, the group studied data from the Str.....»»
Leap seconds could become leap minutes, despite pushback from Russians, Vatican
Already endangered, the leap second might have a practical successor soon. Enlarge / Dr. Charles H. Townes, inventor of the maser, a key component of atomic clocks, illustrates the differences between it and a standard clock. (c.....»»
