LHC experiments observe quantum entanglement at the highest energy yet
Quantum entanglement is a fascinating feature of quantum physics—the theory of the very small. If two particles are quantum-entangled, the state of one particle is tied to that of the other, no matter how far apart the particles are. This mind-bend.....»»
Materials scientist describes new world order for glasses, liquids
In 1543, Copernicus pitched the heliocentric idea that the Earth orbited the sun. His theory took 150 years to catch on and more than 400 years for the Vatican to officially accept it. Likewise, distinguished materials scientist Takeshi Egami has spe.....»»
Single-step lifecycle monitoring made fast and easy with single-walled carbon nanotubes
A research team has published a work showcasing another practical and scalable application of single-walled carbon nanotubes......»»
Ocean sediment is a "mudtropolis"—meet the carbon-cycling creatures thriving beneath the seabed
Sitting in darkness, deep below the sunlit surface, an iridescent nightmare awaits its prey. With precision and speed, it strikes and slices a passing fish clean in half with a set of jaws twice the width of its head. The armor-plated creature retrea.....»»

Lost in translation: What spirituality and Einstein have to do with misunderstandings about climate change
As a child growing up in the early 1990s, I remember learning in school about the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide released by burning fossil fuels traps heat near the Earth's surface, like the glass of a greenhouse. I imagined myself on the playgro.....»»
Denver"s experiment in providing a soft landing for newly arrived migrants is expensive but necessary, says researcher
The burden of supporting asylum-seekers with food and housing often falls to cities, creating severe budget crunches. But Denver is piloting a new approach designed to integrate immigrants into the workforce faster......»»

Lower shipping emissions may lead to higher global temperatures
Products that we depend on and use every day arrive by way of massive container ships to ports around the world. But the maritime shipping industry is also responsible for polluting the air and oceans with sulfur dioxide, which can negatively affect.....»»
Researchers use training model to map planted and natural forests via satellite image
While planting trees may seem like an easy win to combat climate change, planted forests often encroach on natural forests, wetlands, and grasslands. This can reduce biodiversity, disturb the natural environment, and disrupt carbon and water cycling......»»
Astronomers detect black hole "starving" its host galaxy to death
Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope to confirm that supermassive black holes can starve their host galaxies of the fuel they need to form new stars. The results are reported in the journal Nature Astronomy......»»
