Larger and more frequent solar storms will make for potential disruptions and spectacular auroras on Earth
Bright auroras, with dancing lights in the sky, characterize the clear winter nights of northern Canada. Longer nights during the fall and winter also favor seeing more auroras, but the show is best outside of light-polluted cities. Impressive aurora.....»»
Sonos Sub Mini vs. Sonos Sub 4: Which boom should you buy?
Which Sonos subwoofer is the right fit for your home? Should you opt for the tried-and-true larger Sonos Sub or the smaller Sub Mini? Let's compare to find out......»»
Low glycemic index rice seen as promising solution to mitigate Asia"s diabetes crisis
A new paper recently published by scientists explores the potential of low glycemic index (Low GI) rice to combat the growing diabetes epidemic, particularly in Asia......»»
Oxygen and chlorine evolution without noble metals: Electrode potential transforms MXene surfaces
MXenes are a class of two-dimensional materials that were discovered in 2011. Theoretical studies previously predicted that they would not be catalytically active in anodic processes. Researchers led by Prof. Dr. Kai S. Exner, head of the Department.....»»
Antarctica"s tipping points threaten global climate stability
Antarctica is approaching a series of cascading tipping points that could reshape ecosystems and intensify global climate disruptions, according to a new study by an international team of scientists, including researchers from the University of Tasma.....»»
NASA finalizes strategy for sustaining human presence in low Earth orbit
As part of the agency's efforts to enable broader use of space, NASA has released its final goals and objectives for low Earth orbit, defining the long-term approach toward advancing microgravity science, technology, and exploration for the benefit o.....»»
Waal river draws more water, signaling potential Rhine system shift
Historical observations and model computations point to the Rhine system having crossed a tipping point. Since extreme peak flows in the 1990s, the Waal has gradually attracted more water at the Pannerdense Kop bifurcation. This is shown in research.....»»
Excited state dynamics unlock potential for organics LEDs and bioimaging
Excited state dynamics are essential for understanding fluorescence properties in molecules, impacting their application in technologies. Research at Shinshu University explores how molecular structure and geometry influence light emission in aggrega.....»»
Ammonia production goes green: Biomethane approach offers net-zero emissions
Using biomethane to produce ammonia, a crucial chemical in agriculture, could drastically reduce the climate impact of the process. In a study published in One Earth, researcher Robert Istrate shows it's even possible to make ammonia production net-z.....»»
Stem cell transplants could save the world"s corals, say researchers
Climate change is bleaching and killing off vast amounts of the world's coral due to rising sea temperatures. Dr. Benyamin Rosental of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and his colleagues have proposed an out of the box potential solution: transplan.....»»
Study reveals untapped potential in Switzerland"s wood material flows
Switzerland has set itself a goal that is as ambitious as it is necessary: net zero by 2050. One of the most important raw materials on the road to a climate-neutral future is wood. This renewable natural resource binds CO2 from the atmosphere as it.....»»
Threat of abrupt mortality events keeps endangered monkey population at risk, despite decades of growth
Despite the population being almost four times larger than it was in 1982, a new study published in the journal Ecology suggests the northern muriqui monkeys remain at risk, especially in the face of ongoing habitat disturbances......»»
Mars orbiter spots retired InSight lander to study dust movement
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) caught a glimpse of the agency's retired InSight lander recently, documenting the accumulation of dust on the spacecraft's solar panels. In the new image taken Oct. 23 by MRO's High-Resolution Imaging Science.....»»
New climate chemistry model finds "non-negligible" impacts of potential hydrogen fuel leakage
As the world looks for ways to stop climate change, much discussion focuses on using hydrogen instead of fossil fuels, which emit climate-warming greenhouse gases (GHGs) when they're burned. The idea is appealing. Burning hydrogen doesn't emit GHGs t.....»»
Research explores nanobubble stability and its real-world implications
Gases are essential for many chemical reactions, and bubbles are one way for these gases to be held in solution. When compared to larger bubbles, nanobubbles have increased stability—meaning that they can remain in a solution longer without popping.....»»
The OnePlus Open 2 could release as soon as next year
A leak on Weibo suggests the OnePlus Open 2 is under development, with a potential launch sometime next year......»»
What is a dark comet? A quick guide to the "new" kids in the solar system
In 2017, NASA discovered and later confirmed the first interstellar object to enter our solar system......»»
Simulation sheds light on Earth"s magnetic field generation while advancing neuromorphic computing
How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers from the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Sa.....»»
Collaborative power of AI and citizen science can advance Sustainable Development Goals
Citizen science and artificial intelligence (AI) offer immense potential for tackling urgent sustainability challenges, from health to climate change. Combined, they offer innovative solutions to accelerate progress on the UN Sustainable Development.....»»
Planning a holiday? Three ways to reduce your carbon footprint
These holidays, planet Earth looks likely to be hotter than ever before. Research found that in 2024, global temperatures temporarily rose 1.5°C higher than the average from 1850 to 1900—a pre-industrial time when the first global temperatures wer.....»»
Does the exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b have an atmosphere after all?
TRAPPIST-1 b is one of seven rocky planets orbiting the star TRAPPIST-1, located 40 light-years away. The planetary system is unique because it allows astronomers to study seven Earth-like planets from relatively close range, with three of them in th.....»»
