Research team identifies human odorant receptor for "horse stable" odor, with implications for food testing
Para-cresol is an aromatic compound with a strong horse stable-like odor. It contributes to the off-flavor of some foods, but it is also detectable as a characteristic odorant in whiskey and tobacco, as well as in the urine of various mammals......»»
"Andreev chemistry" on a nanowire: Researchers generate superconducting pair states separated by grown barriers
Researchers at the University of Basel and Lund University have generated superconducting pair states of electrons on several segments of a nanowire, separated by grown barriers. Depending on the height of the barriers, these pair states can be coupl.....»»
Study shows performance of photodetector heterojunctions varies with carbon nanotube diameter
Junctions between the two different materials, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and perovskite (CsPbBr3) quantum dots (QDs)—a mechanically stable and easily customized photovoltaic material that creates an electrical current from sunlight when.....»»
If rogue planets are everywhere, how could we explore them?
At one time, astronomers believed that the planets formed in their current orbits, which remained stable over time. But more recent observations, theory, and calculations have shown that planetary systems are subject to shake-ups and change. Periodic.....»»
Scientists solve "enigma" of pygmy right whales" feeding habits
Researchers have shown from stable isotope ratios in the baleen of pygmy right whales that this species of baleen whales remains in waters off southern Australia year-round and feeds on Australian krill and copepods. Unlike larger relatives, they don.....»»
Ocean skin helps regulate ocean carbon uptake, study finds
At less than one millimeter thick, the ocean skin—the ocean's uppermost layer—plays an outsized role in marine processes, orchestrating heat and chemical exchange between the sea and sky via diffusion. The water of the skin is cooler by about 0.2.....»»
