Study shows unexpected expansion of rare earth element mining activities in Myanmar-China border region
As the demand for rare earth elements increases world-wide, so too do the mining activities associated with rare earth element extraction. Rare earth elements are listed as 15 elements on the periodic table constituting what is known as the lanthanid.....»»
Shedding light on the synthesis of sugars before the origin of life
Pentoses are essential carbohydrates in the metabolism of modern lifeforms, but their availability during early Earth is unclear since these molecules are unstable......»»
Scientists propose new method to search for deviations from the Standard Model of physics
In the search for new particles and forces in nature, physicists are on the hunt for behaviors within atoms and molecules that are forbidden by the tried-and-true Standard Model of particle physics. Any deviations from this model could indicate what.....»»
Cell fate choice during adult regeneration is highly disorganized, study finds
A team of scientists at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and MIT has spatially mapped the choices stem cells make during tissue regeneration in flatworms, revealing an unexpected finding: Rather than being organized into homogeneous ne.....»»
Study shows the ability of some molecules to modify the surface of nanoparticles
Nanoparticles have unique properties that make them exceptional tools with a variety of applications, from medicine to electronics. One of the lesser-known facts about them is that their surface plays a crucial role in their behavior and functionalit.....»»
Researchers develop coating process for fabrics that kills or inhibits growth of pathogens
Countless times a day, patients, visitors and medical staff in hospitals touch surfaces of all kinds. Door handles, railings or elevator buttons can serve as transport vehicles for pathogens such as hospital germs or viruses. Smooth surfaces are comp.....»»
Review article shows key role of Brazil in research on sugarcane for bioenergy
Publications on sugar cane have increased exponentially since 2006 worldwide, and Brazil has had more articles published on the topic than any other country in the period, according to a review in BioEnergy Research......»»
Combining extreme-ultraviolet light sources to resolve a quantum mechanical dissociation mechanism in oxygen molecules
For the first time, researchers have succeeded in selectively exciting a molecule using a combination of two extreme-ultraviolet light sources and causing the molecule to dissociate while tracking it over time. This is another step towards specific q.....»»
An effective approach for preparing supramolecular polymers at high concentration
Supramolecular polymers (SPs) are molecular assemblies composed of non-covalently bonded small molecules. They show high recyclability originating from their dynamic nature of monomer binding, which is different from covalent polymers with non-biodeg.....»»
Blasts to clear World War II munitions could contaminate the ocean
World War II concluded decades ago, but live mines lurking on the ocean floor still pose threats, potentially spewing unexpected geysers or releasing contaminants into the water. Experts conduct controlled explosions to clear underwater munitions, bu.....»»

Apple Finally Announces RCS Support for iPhones; Roll-out Expected Next Year
We checked, it's not April 1st. The post Apple Finally Announces RCS Support for iPhones; Roll-out Expected Next Year appeared first on Phandroid. In what is probably one of the most unexpected developments of this year, Apple has finally.....»»
Researchers tune the speed of chirality switching
Chiral molecules can have dramatically different functional properties while sharing identical chemical formulae and almost identical structures. The molecular structure of two types of a chiral molecule—so-called enantiomers—are mirror images of.....»»
From glaciers to rainfall: Understanding unexpected rain
In 2018, a group of students from the Universities of Innsbruck, Austria, and Hamburg, Germany, were on a research excursion close to the village of Llupa in the Rio Santa valley in the Peruvian Andes. While they were busy installing a weather statio.....»»
