Biodegradable polymers show promise for nutrient encapsulation and replacing microbeads in beauty products
Microplastics are an environmental hazard found nearly everywhere on Earth, released by the breakdown of tires, clothing, and plastic packaging. Another significant source of microplastics is tiny beads that are added to some cleansers, cosmetics, an.....»»
3D scans of giant hailstones reveal surprising discoveries that could help predict future storms
Hailstones are formed during thunderstorms, when raindrops are propelled into very cold parts of a cloud, where they freeze. Once the particles are heavy enough, gravity pulls them back towards Earth. As they plummet, they grow into hailstones, which.....»»
Analysis method reveals unknown chemicals in human serum samples
In the past, chemicals like asbestos and lead caused widespread harm before their dangers were fully understood. Today, many unknown chemicals similarly pose potential risks. Recently, Chiba University researchers developed a new analysis method for.....»»
Solving waste plastic processing with heat circulation: Researchers develop large-scale pyrolysis process
Dr. Byungwook Hwang's research team from the CCS Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed a process that applies the circulating fluidized bed technology, commonly used in coal-fired power plant.....»»
3D models help researchers understand the climate impact of eddies
Mesoscale eddies are ocean vortices less than 100 kilometers in diameter that are responsible for the localized "weather" of the oceans. Because of the large amount of mass and energy movement associated with these currents, mesoscale eddies play an.....»»
Method enhances solubility of pea protein for use in food and beverages

X-ray data-enhanced computational method can determine crystal structures of multiphase materials
A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has developed a new computational method that can efficiently determine the crystal structures of multiphase materials, powders that contain more than one type of.....»»
A new method for efficient synthesis of anti-cancer drugs
The Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reaction is a fundamental reaction in organic chemistry, widely used to create conjugated carbonyl compounds. Conjugated carbonyl compounds are used in many industries for synthesizing perfumes, plastics, and pharmaceutic.....»»
That"s no straw: Hummingbirds evolved surprisingly flexible bills to help them drink nectar
Hummingbird bills—their long, thin beaks—look a little like drinking straws. The frenetic speed at which they get nectar out of flowers and backyard feeders may give the impression that the bills act as straws, too. But new research shows just ho.....»»

The lab of Hassane Mchaourab, director of the Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence in Protein Dynamics and professor of molecular physiology and biophysics, has developed a methodological blueprint that couples experimental double electron–el.....»»
Optimal decision-making in a school of fish uses a flexible system based on role sharing, researchers find
Theoretical biology states that in a flock of birds or school of fish exhibiting collaborative behavior, being in a state of criticality (i.e., a "flexible system" that can changeably respond to the environment) is crucial for flexible and quick deci.....»»
Chemists develop color-changing test for rapid salmonella detection
A group of chemists at the University at Albany have developed a new method for fast-acting salmonella detection. The test employs a paper strip that changes color in the presence of the bacterial genome, enabling quick screening for salmonella in fo.....»»
