This artist’s conception shows how double ridges on the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon Europa may form over shallow, refreezing water pockets within the ice shell. Increasing evidence suggests that the ice shell is more of a dynamic system than a barrier – and an astrobiology site with potential habitability in its own right. Ice-penetrating […]
Physicists and soil scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have teamed up to develop a new method for finding carbon stored in the soil by plants and microbes. Microbes in the soil then take this carbon and turn it into organic matter that can persist for decades, centuries, or longer. Human […]
The road to a stabilized climate is challenging and contentious. One of the removal methods scientists are exploring is known as carbon capture and storage . CO2 flow inside the pore space of a millimeter-sized rock sample, which is initially filled with brine. A physics-guided deep learning framework proposed for anomaly detection in soil gas […]
“Our study shows for the first time that COVID-19 vaccination in either partner is unrelated to fertility among couples trying to conceive through intercourse. Wesselink and colleagues analyzed survey data on COVID-19 vaccination and infection, and fecundability, among female and male participants in the BUSPH-based Pregnancy Study Online , an ongoing NIH-funded study that enrolls […]
This is great news, as these small chunks of debris are believed to be the cause of the unsuccessful transfer of the drill bit and sample tube into the carousel back on December 29. Tuesday night we also received the second set of under-rover images, which show two new pebbles on the surface, indicating the […]
Ibuki Iwasaki came to MIT without a clear idea of what she wanted to major in, but that changed during the spring of her first year, when she left her comfort zone and enrolled in 4.02A . It also introduced her to the role that technology can play in design, whether through coding, processing components […]
In a new study, published in Gut Microbes, experts from the University of Nottingham found that exercise intervention in people with arthritis, did not just reduce their pain, but it also lowered the levels of inflammatory substances . A group of scientists, led by Professor Ana Valdes from the School of Medicine at the University, tested 78 […]
The global team of researchers, led by UQ’s Dr. “The emitting materials are made from nanocrystals, called lead-halide perovskites,” he said. Reference: “Liquid-phase sintering of lead halide perovskites and metal-organic framework glasses” by Jingwei Hou, Peng Chen, Atul Shukla, Andraž Krajnc, Tiesheng Wang, Xuemei Li, Rana Doasa, Luiz H. …Read the full story
Estimated to be 100–200 kilometers across, the unusual celestial wanderer will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2031. They found data of this object that was originally collected from 2014–2018, which did not show a typical comet tail, and the object was therefore thought to be a dwarf planet. But within a day […]
The number of adults in the United States who use cannabis more than doubled from 22.6 million in 2008 to 45.0 million in 2019, and the number of daily or near-daily users almost tripled from 3.6 million to 9.8 million in 2019. They examined data from 281,650 young adults ages 18 to 35 years — […]
