Researchers find flexible solution for separating gases
For a broad range of industries, separating gases is an important part of both process and product—from separating nitrogen and oxygen from air for medical purposes to separating carbon dioxide from other gases in the process of carbon capture or r.....»»
Study reveals the microbes vital to a healthy Brisbane River
A unique method of monitoring river health has uncovered an army of tiny organisms fighting to protect the Brisbane River......»»
Unlocking biodiversity insights from the tropical Andes
Despite hosting some of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems and the urgency of the region's conservation challenges, researchers in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru often struggle to share their unique insights into these complex ecosystems with the glo.....»»
Fundamental spatial limits of all-optical magnetization switching
Magnetization can be switched with a single laser pulse. However, it is not known whether the underlying microscopic process is scalable to the nanometer length scale, a prerequisite for making this technology competitive for future data storage appl.....»»
Kick-starting seagrass for a climate-proof sea
Once upon a time, seagrass meadows of about 150 square kilometers covered the bottom of the Dutch Wadden Sea. Now, seagrasses have all but disappeared, just like in many other places in the world. But these unique saltwater plants play a vital role i.....»»

Re-analyzing LHC Run 2 data with cutting-edge analysis techniques allowed physicists to address old discrepancy
Supersymmetry (SUSY) is an exciting and beautiful theory that answers some of the open questions in particle physics. It predicts that all known particles have a "superpartner" with somewhat different properties. For example, the heaviest quark of th.....»»
New mathematical model sheds light on the absence of breastfeeding in male mammals
Being nursed by a single parent could be an evolutionary strategy to curb the spread of harmful microbes in mammals, according to a novel theory developed by mathematicians......»»
DNA-based bacterial parasite uses completely new DNA-editing method
Its error rates are too high for safe use but might be improved. Enlarge / Top row: individual steps in the reaction process. Bottom row: cartoon diagram of the top, showing the position of each DNA and RNA strand. (credit: Hirai.....»»
Simple new process stores carbon dioxide in concrete without compromising strength
By using a carbonated—rather than a still—water-based solution during the concrete manufacturing process, a Northwestern University-led team of engineers has discovered a new way to store carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ubiquitous construction materi.....»»
Apple working out how to use Mac in parallel with iPhone or iPad to process big jobs
Apple isn't content with the existing distributed computing technologies, and is working on a way to network your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and maybe even the Apple Vision Pro together to combine processing jobs dynamically according to device power, to get.....»»
Study demonstrates that a process that turns off DNA transcription can, paradoxically, also turn it on
Researchers led by Kannosuke Yabe, Asuka Kamio, and Soichi Inagaki of the University of Tokyo have discovered that in thale cresses histone H3 lysine-9 (H3K9) methylation, conventionally thought to be a mark of turning off gene transcription, can als.....»»
Cell division: Before commitment, a very long engagement
Before a cell commits fully to the process of dividing itself into two new cells, it may ensure the appropriateness of its commitment by staying for many hours—sometimes more than a day—in a reversible intermediate state, according to a discovery.....»»
Sportswashing is still highly effective despite more awareness among fans
As the European football championships continue in Germany, new research has revealed that "sportswashing"—the practice of using sporting events or teams to improve a country's reputation—is still highly effective, despite increased awareness of.....»»
Scientists discover genetic "off switch" in legume plants that limits biological ability to source nutrients
