Published First step towards synthetic CO2 fixation in living cells
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Three modules forming a new-to-nature CO2 fixation cycle have been successfully implemented in E.coli.
Published 'Nutritional quality must be at the heart of climate smart agriculture' -- researchers
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Farmers in sub-Saharan Africa need to diversify away from growing maize and switch to crops that are resilient to climate change and supply enough key micronutrients for the population, according to a major research study. Maize is a staple crop across the region -- where it is grown and consumed in vast quantities.
Published Healthy omega-3 fats may slow deadly pulmonary fibrosis
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Higher levels of omega-3, the healthy fat found in fish and nuts, were associated with better lung function and longer transplant-free survival.
Published Global warming intensifies typhoon-induced extreme precipitation over East Asia
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists use a 3km high-resolution climate model to reveal expanded extreme rainfall from typhoons.
Published Unraveling the mysteries of fog in complex terrain
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source While fog presents a major hazard to transportation safety, meteorologists have yet to figure out how to forecast it with the precision they have achieved for precipitation, wind and other stormy events. This is because the physical processes resulting in fog formation are extremely complex, Now researchers report their findings from an intensive study centered on a northern Utah basin and conceived to investigate the life cycle of cold fog in mountain valleys.
Published In coastal communities, sea level rise may leave some isolated
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Amid the threat of dramatic sea level rise, coastal communities face unprecedented dangers, but a new study reveals that as flooding intensifies, disadvantaged populations will be the ones to experience some of the most severe burdens of climate change.
Published Breakthrough in organic semiconductor synthesis paves the way for advanced electronic devices
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of organic semiconductors. Their successful synthesis and characterization of a novel molecule called 'BNBN anthracene' has opened up new possibilities for the development of advanced electronic devices.
Published Molecules exhibit non-reciprocal interactions without external forces
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have discovered that molecules experience non-reciprocal interactions without external forces. Fundamental forces such as gravity and electromagnetism are reciprocal, where two objects are attracted to each other or are repelled by each other. In our everyday experience, however, interactions don t seem to follow this reciprocal law.
Published Revolutionary nanodrones enable targeted cancer treatment
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A research team has unveiled a remarkable breakthrough in cancer treatment.
Published Sodium's high-pressure transformation can tell us about the interiors of stars, planets
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new study has revealed the chemical bonding behind sodium's high-pressure transformation from shiny metal to transparent insulator.
Published A carbon-lite atmosphere could be a sign of water and life on other terrestrial planets
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Best chance of finding liquid water, and even life on other planets, is to look for the absence of carbon dioxide in their atmospheres.
Published Western Cascades landscapes in Oregon historically burned more often than previously thought
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Forests on the west slope of Oregon's Cascade Range experienced fire much more often between 1500 and 1895 than had been previously thought.
Published Low-carbohydrate diets emphasizing healthy, plant-based sources associated with slower long-term weight gain
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Low-carbohydrate diets comprised mostly of plant-based proteins and fats with healthy carbohydrates such as whole grains were associated with slower long-term weight gain than low-carbohydrate diets comprised mostly of animal proteins and fats with unhealthy carbohydrates like refined starches, according to a new study.
Published Researchers succeed in high-sensitivity terahertz detection by 2D plasmons in transistors
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a high-speed, high-sensitivity terahertz-wave detector operating at room temperature, paving the way for advancements in the development of next generation 6G/7G technology.
Published Piezo composites with carbon fibers for motion sensors
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source An international research group has engineered a novel high-strength flexible device by combining piezoelectric composites with unidirectional carbon fiber. The new device transforms kinetic energy from the human motion into electricity, providing an efficient and reliable means for high-strength and self-powered sensors.
Published Further evidence for quark-matter cores in massive neutron stars
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source New theoretical analysis places the likelihood of massive neutron stars hiding cores of deconfined quark matter between 80 and 90 percent. The result was reached through massive supercomputer runs utilizing Bayesian statistical inference.
Published New reptile on the block: A new iguana species discovered in China
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have identified a new iguana species, Wang's garden lizard (Calotes wangi), in southern China and northern Vietnam. This species, part of the Calotes versicolor complex, was discovered through extensive surveys conducted from 2009 to 2022. Measuring less than 9 cm with an orange tongue, it inhabits subtropical and tropical forests, thriving in various landscapes including urban areas.
Published Electronic 'soil' enhances crop growth
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Barley seedlings grow on average 50% more when their root system is stimulated electrically through a new cultivation substrate. Researchers have now developed an electrically conductive 'soil' for soil-less cultivation, known as hydroponics.
Published Strong connections found between vaccine hesitancy and support for vaccinating pets
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Study findings raise the stakes for public health efforts to improve attitudes about vaccination rates across the board.
Published Reindeer sleep while chewing their cud
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers report that the more time reindeer spend ruminating, the less time they spend in non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep. EEG recordings revealed that reindeer's brainwaves during rumination resemble the brain waves present during non-REM sleep, and these brainwave patterns suggest that the reindeer are more 'rested' after ruminating. The researchers speculate that this multitasking might help reindeer get enough sleep during the summer months, when food is abundant and reindeer feed almost 24/7 in preparation for the long and food-sparse arctic winter.
