Published Uranus aurora discovery offers clues to habitable icy worlds
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Astronomers confirm the existence of an infrared (IR) aurora on Uranus. This could help astronomers identify exoplanets that might support life, a large number of which are icy worlds.
Published CBD and CBG may promote bone fracture healing, manage pain
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) might someday help bone fracture patients manage their pain, according to a new study. In a study in mice, the researchers unexpectedly found that the cannabinoids also promoted fracture healing.
Published Endangered whales live in area earmarked for gas exploration
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Endangered whales and dolphins live year-round in an area of the Mediterranean earmarked for oil and gas exploration, new research shows.
Published Fungi used in food production could lead to new probiotics
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source According to a new study, 2 fungi used to produce food products have potential probiotic effects on gut inflammation.
Published A potentially cheaper and 'cooler' way for hydrogen transport
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a new hydrogen energy carrier material capable storing hydrogen energy efficiently and potentially more cheaply. Each molecule can store one electron from hydrogen at room temperature, store it for up the three months, and can be its own catalyst to extract said electron. Moreover, as the compound is made primarily of nickel, its cost is relatively low.
Published Inspection method increases confidence in laser powder bed fusion 3D printing
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have improved flaw detection to increase confidence in metal parts that are 3D-printed using laser powder bed fusion.
Published Do or dye: Synthetic colors in wastewater pose a threat to food chains worldwide
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Dyes widely used in the textile, food and pharmaceutical industries pose a pressing threat to plant, animal and human health, as well as natural environments around the world, a new study has found. Billions of tons of dye-containing wastewater enter water systems every year, and a group of researchers say that new sustainable technologies including new membrane-based nano-scale filtration are needed to solve the issue, adding that legislation is needed to compel industrial producers to eliminate colorants before they reach public sewage systems or waterways.
Published Community-developed guidelines for publishing images help address reproducibility problem in science
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The use of images in scientific papers is more popular than ever, but there have been no common standards for their publication -- until now.
Published Shape-shifting fiber can produce morphing fabrics
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source FibeRobo is a liquid crystal elastomer fiber that can change its shape in response to thermal stimuli. Compatible with existing textile manufacturing machinery, it could be used to make morphing textiles, like a jacket that changes its insulating properties.
Published Physicists simulate interacting quasiparticles in ultracold quantum gas
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source In physics, quasiparticles are used to describe complex processes in solids. In ultracold quantum gases, these quasiparticles can be reproduced and studied. Now scientists have been able to observe in experiments how Fermi polarons -- a special type of quasiparticle -- can interact with each other.
Published To navigate the world, we all shimmy like these electric fish
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source An electric knifefish shimmies in the water for the same reason a dog sniffs or a human glances around a new place -- to make sense of their surroundings. For the first time, scientists demonstrate that a wide range of organisms, even microbes, perform the same pattern of movements in order to sense the world.
Published Study shows simple diet swaps can cut carbon emissions and improve your health
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Making one small diet change -- chicken instead of beef, plant milk instead of cow's milk -- could significantly curb carbon emissions and increase the healthfulness of your diet, according to a new study.
Published Analysis finds diversity on the smallest scales in sulfur-cycling salt marsh microbes
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists have discovered that even among the sulfur-cycling microbes that are responsible for the 'rotten egg gas' smell in salt marsh air, diversity extends all the way to genomes and even to individual nucleotides.
Published DNA Origami nanoturbine sets new horizon for nanomotors
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers introduce a pioneering breakthrough in the world of nanomotors -- the DNA origami nanoturbine. This nanoscale device could represent a paradigm shift, harnessing power from ion gradients or electrical potential across a solid-state nanopore to drive the turbine into mechanical rotations. The core of this pioneering discovery is the design, construction, and driven motion of a 'DNA origami' turbine, which features three chiral blades, all within a minuscule 25-nanometer frame, operating in a solid-state nanopore. By ingeniously designing two chiral turbines, researchers now have the capability to dictate the direction of rotation, clockwise or anticlockwise.
Published Marine protected areas and climate change
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source New research offers a way to build climate resilience into the designs of ocean and coastal areas intended to protect marine species. The researchers recommend establishing numerous marine protected areas across political borders, starting with the Southern California Bight.
Published Venus had Earth-like plate tectonics billions of years ago, study suggests
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Venus, may have once had tectonic plate movements similar to those believed to have occurred on early Earth, a new study found. The finding sets up tantalizing scenarios regarding the possibility of early life on Venus, its evolutionary past and the history of the solar system.
Published Deep learning speeds up galactic calculations
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Supernovae, exploding stars, play a critical role in the formation and evolution of galaxies. However, key aspects of them are notoriously difficult to simulate accurately in reasonably short amounts of time. For the first time, a team of researchers apply deep learning to the problem of supernova simulation. Their approach can speed up the simulation of supernovae, and therefore of galaxy formation and evolution as well. These simulations include the evolution of the chemistry which led to life.
Published Vision via sound for the blind
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Smart glasses that use a technique similar to a bat's echolocation could help blind and low-vision people navigate their surroundings, according to researchers.
Published Algae's surprising potential to help ease climate change worries
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The key to bringing global net-zero goals into reach may be algae, say researchers. Studies show impressive success of certain microalgae varieties to remove CO2 from the atmosphere then break it down into useful materials.
Published Pottery becomes water treatment device for Navajo Nation
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Large chunks of the Navajo Nation in the Southwest lack access to clean drinkable water, a trend that has been rising in many parts of the U.S. in recent years. A research team aims to change that.
