Stable perovskite catalyst achieves selective oxidation of light alkanes
Light alkanes are relatively simple molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen, arranged in linear or branching structures. Their oxidized counterparts, which include alcohols, epoxides, ketones, and aldehydes, are ubiquitous in the chemical indu.....»»
Isotope analysis reveals mammoth as key food source for ancient Americans
Scientists have uncovered the first direct evidence that ancient Americans relied primarily on mammoth and other large animals for food. Their research sheds new light on both the rapid expansion of humans throughout the Americas and the extinction o.....»»
Webb finds new galaxies in Spiderweb protocluster field
Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers have found new galaxies in the Spiderweb protocluster. Their characteristics shed light on the growth of galaxies in these large cosmic cities, with the finding t.....»»
Where to watch the 2024 Christmas Tree Lighting at Rockefeller Center

New catalyst can convert methane into useful polymers
Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to its molecular structure......»»
New study sheds light on when to stand out or fit in
When it comes to job interviews, conventional wisdom often suggests that standing out is key to securing a position—seemingly at odds with the general human tendency to conform. A new study by SFI Complexity Postdoctoral Fellow Katrin Schmelz and h.....»»

Enzyme study sheds light on the molecular mechanism behind "sleepiness"
Recent research has observed that chemical modifications called phosphorylation of proteins in brain neurons dynamically regulate sleep and wakefulness. But the protein kinases that suppress sleep and the dephosphorylation enzymes that control sleep.....»»
Multimodal machine learning model increases accuracy of catalyst screening
Identifying optimal catalyst materials for specific reactions is crucial to advance energy storage technologies and sustainable chemical processes. To screen catalysts, scientists must understand systems' adsorption energy, something that machine lea.....»»

Infrared detectors made from quantum dots—a keener eye for the invisible
What do motion detectors, self-driving cars, chemical analyzers and satellites have in common? They all contain detectors for infrared (IR) light. At their core and besides readout electronics, such detectors usually consist of a crystalline semicond.....»»
Microscopy at the tip of a hair-thin optical fiber: New approach pre-shapes light for unprecedented control
Researchers at the University of Adelaide, as part of an international team, have developed an approach that makes advanced microscopy possible through an optical fiber thinner than a human hair......»»
Deep-sea marvels: How anglerfish defy evolutionary expectations
A Rice University study sheds light on the extraordinary evolution of anglerfish, a group of deep-sea dwellers whose bizarre adaptations have captivated scientists and the public alike. The research, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, uncovers.....»»
New laser technique achieves atomic-scale precision on diamond surfaces
Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface atoms with atomic-scale precision. This once sci-fi scenario is now a reality thanks to pioneering research published in Applied Surface Science......»»

Light alkanes are relatively simple molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen, arranged in linear or branching structures. Their oxidized counterparts, which include alcohols, epoxides, ketones, and aldehydes, are ubiquitous in the chemical indu.....»»
Study provides experimental evidence of high harmonic generation producing quantum light
High harmonic generation (HHG) is a highly non-linear phenomenon where a system (for example, an atom) absorbs many photons of a laser and emits photons of much higher energy, whose frequency is a harmonic (that is, a multiple) of the incoming laser'.....»»
Observations shed more light on the properties of three-planet system TOI-396
An international team of astronomers has investigated a planetary system consisting of three alien worlds orbiting the star TOI-396. The study, published Nov. 22 on the pre-print server arXiv, provides the first mass measurements for these three plan.....»»
From HR to work/life balance—How working life has (and hasn"t) changed since ancient Rome
While powerful figures tend to take up the most space in our history books, the vast majority of people in the ancient world were regular working class folks, and most people's lives revolved around the daily grind. A new book sheds light on working.....»»
