New research employs shutter speed analogies to validate 55-year-old theory about chemical reaction rates
Chemical reactions are commonly depicted as transitions from reactants to products. However, such reactions involve many molecules, and the individual molecules themselves undergo frequently-occurring structural changes as they transform from the rea.....»»
Carvana CEO: ADESA real estate plays key part in our growth plan
Carvana slowed its sales growth in 2022 and 2023 to address profitability, but it's now in a transition period where it is focusing on both, CEO Ernie Garcia said......»»
Astronomers discover merging twin quasars
Using the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, astronomers have detected a pair of merging quasars at a high redshift, as part of the Hyper SuprimeCam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program (SPP) survey. The serendipitous discovery is reported in the latest issue of.....»»
Repurposed beer yeast encapsulated in hydrogels may offer a cost-effective way to remove lead from water
Every year, beer breweries generate and discard thousands of tons of surplus yeast. Researchers from MIT and Georgia Tech have now come up with a way to repurpose that yeast to absorb lead from contaminated water......»»
Experimental demonstration of inequivalent mutually unbiased bases for quantum information processing
Research groups demonstrated for the first time that inequivalent mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) have different information extraction capabilities for quantum information processing. The research results were published in Physical Review Letters......»»
Scientists raise minimum magnetic field of a single measurement to sub-femtotesla level
A research team has, for the first time, realized the quantum amplification of an extremely weak magnetic field by using dark spin, with the magnetic field magnification exceeding a factor of 5,000 and the single magnetic field measurement accuracy r.....»»
How do mindfulness, compassion and need fulfillment affect satisfaction in midlife married couples?
Many people practice mindfulness or self-compassion techniques in their everyday life as part of their normal self-care routine. Although many studies support the individual benefits of mindfulness and self-compassion, few have focused on romantic re.....»»

Researchers uncover what makes some chickens more water-efficient than others
In the first scientific report of its kind, researchers in Arkansas have shown that chickens bred for water conservation continued to put on weight despite heat stress that would normally slow growth......»»
This app brings Dashboard-style web clip widgets to Apple Vision Pro
With Mac OS X Leopard, which was released in 2007, Apple added a feature called “Web Clip” to Dashboard. This allowed users to turn any part of a website into a live widget that could then be added to Dashboard and would update in real-time. W.....»»
Making iPadOS finally live up to the iPad’s overachieving hardware
Every time a new iPad Pro is released, the reviews repeat the same narrative: powerful hardware, hamstrung software. The M4 reviews have been no exception. This gap isn’t because of a lack of effort on Apple’s part. The company has continually.....»»
How pooling solutions can be strengthened in road transport
Less than a hundred kilos of human weight, more than two metric tons of steel: individual road transport is a huge climate killer, and switching to electric vehicles is only part of the solution because manufacturing the vehicles also causes emission.....»»
Researchers identify nutrient enrichment driven by canopy rainfall redistribution
Precipitation deeply couples with nutrient cycling through its interactions with atmospheric deposition and canopy interception, which alters its own chemical properties. Throughfall and stemflow carry numerous elements into the soil, not only affect.....»»
