Migrating holes help catalysts to be productive
Dig this: Catalysis appears to function because of holes......»»
Event Horizon Telescope can now take images of black holes that are 50% sharper
The Event Horizon Telescope, which took the first ever image of a black hole, has made the highest ever resolution observations taken from the Earth's surface......»»
Saturday Citations: Tarantulas and their homies; how mosquitoes find you; black holes not mysterious at all
So much science news this week. It's like a torrential deluge of information bursting explosively through a levee of ignorance. Who built that levee, anyway? How did they get that through the legislature? Anyway, of the hundreds of stories we reporte.....»»
Watch a star get destroyed by a supermassive black hole in the first simulation of its kind
Giant black holes in the centers of galaxies like our own Milky Way are known to occasionally munch on nearby stars......»»
Tissue fluidization during skin repair is crucial for wound healing, study reveals
The ability to repair tissue following injuries is essential for the survival of all animals. Following wounding, the skin is repaired by activating, migrating, and dividing skin stem cells. Defects of wound healing in humans lead to chronic wounds t.....»»
Supercomputer simulations offer explanation for X-ray radiation from black holes
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have succeeded in something that has been pursued since the 1970s: explaining the X-ray radiation from black hole surroundings. The radiation originates from the combined effect of the chaotic movements of ma.....»»
New simulations shed light on stellar destruction by supermassive black holes
Monash University astronomers have contributed to a breakthrough in understanding the dramatic fate of stars that wander too close to supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies......»»
Buying habits tied to being morning or night person
At some point, someone has told you that they are either a morning or a night person and how this trait dictates when they are most productive. One University of Texas at Arlington graduate says it may also affect people's health......»»
Exploring Huntington"s disease: Researchers discover that protein aggregates poke holes in the nuclear membrane
Researchers at Utrecht University in the Netherlands have identified a new way in which the toxic protein aggregates associated with Huntington's disease may damage nerve cells and cause them to die......»»
Lewis-base ligand optimized electrolyte composition enhances CO₂ electrolysis performance
The electrode-electrolyte interface where electrocatalytic reactions occur, buried between solid-catalysts and electrolytes, involves complicated processes of electron transfer and mass diffusion under an applied electric field. Understanding the int.....»»
Rapid removal of emerging endocrine disruptors in wastewater using high-performance single-atom catalysts
Bisphenols are widely used as the main raw material for plastics such as receipts, water bottles, water containers, and vinyl due to their heat-resistant and mechanochemical properties. Among bisphenols, bisphenol A (BPA), which we often refer to as.....»»
New surfactant from cashew nut shell liquid boosts industrial reactions
Industries and chemical labs synthesize a wide variety of organic molecules every day. Most of these chemical reactions happen in the liquid phase to allow the substrates to interact easily. However, many substrates and catalysts are sensitive to wat.....»»
Astronomers ask public to help find newly formed black holes
The Dutch Black Hole Consortium has launched an eight-language version of the BlackHoleFinder app that citizens all over the world can use to help identify newly formed black holes. Previously, the app was only available in Dutch and English......»»
Making workers return to the office might not make them any more productive
Announcing the directive to work "primarily in an approved office," NSW Premier Chris Minns said overseas studies showed people were less productive when working from home......»»
Researchers reveal atomic-scale details of catalysts" active sites
The chemical and energy industries depend upon catalysts to drive the reactions used to create their products. Many important reactions use heterogeneous catalysts—meaning that the catalysts are in a different phase of matter than the substances th.....»»
MagSafe Monday: Looking for the perfect travel charger? Check out the MagFusion Z 3-in-1 charging station
If you’re looking for the best travel charger for your Apple gear, consider the MagFusion Z 3-in-1 Charging Station. A well-designed travel charger offers functionality and portability, ensuring you remain productive and connected without the burde.....»»
Researchers develop a concept for efficiency-enhanced noble-metal catalysts
The production of more than 90% of all chemical products we use in our everyday lives relies on catalysts. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions, can reduce the energy required for these processes, and in some cases, reactions would not be possible a.....»»
Can quantum particles mimic gravitational waves?
When two black holes collide, space and time shake and energy spreads out like ripples in a pond. These gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein in 1916, were observed for the first time by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (L.....»»
Webb confirms: Big, bright galaxies formed shortly after the Big Bang
Structure of galaxy rules out early, bright objects were supermassive black holes. Enlarge / Some of the galaxies in the JADES images. (credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, M. Zamani) One of the things that the James Webb Space Teles.....»»
From tree holes to trash—the breeding behavior of a frog endemic to the Andman Islands of India
A team of biologists from the University of Delhi and Zoological Survey of India, Harvard University, and the University of Minnesota has discovered a unique breeding behavior in a species of frog endemic to the Andaman Islands of India. In a new stu.....»»
"Miracle" filter turns store-bought LEDs into spintronic devices
Traditional electronics use semiconductors to transmit data through bursts of charged carriers (electrons or holes) to convey messages in "1s" and "0s." Spintronic devices can process an order of magnitude more information by assigning binary code to.....»»
