In this image, Jupiter is shown in visible light for context underneath an artistic impression of the Jovian upper atmosphere’s infrared glow. The brightness of this upper atmosphere layer corresponds to temperatures, from hot to cold, in this order: white, yellow, bright red and lastly, dark red. The aurorae are the hottest regions and...
Like a golf cart relocating at 15,000 miles per hour slamming into the side of a football stadium.'It would have been good if the dinosaurs had a space program.They did not, but some may claim a space program that cannot protect its people from space-based dangers, like colossal asteroids, was not that terrific, after...
To work with light to activate processes within genetically modified fission yeast cells is amongst the research conducted by the experimental biologists in the Martin Laboratory at the University of Lausanne, led by Professor Sophie Martin. Team members were conducting such experiments when they saw that a specific protein would become displaced from the...
Observing how cells adhere to surfaces and their motility is vitally essential in studying tissue maintenance, injury healing, and even understanding exactly how cancer progresses. A brand-new paper published in The European Physical Journal Plus by Raj Kumar Sadhu, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, steps towards a deeper understanding of these processes."Cell adhesion...

Electrolytic hydrogen manufacturing powered by renewable energy is viewed as an environmentally safe way to relieve international environmental and energy issues. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a research study team presented a new and low-cost material for electrodes that may offer very efficient, energy-saving hydrogen production: porous, phosphorized CoNi2S4 yolk-shell nanospheres.The half-reactions of water...
Engineers tested the sensor device on samples of orange juice that they spiked with glyphosate for the study.Credit: BOB HUBNER, WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITYA recently developed, cheap sensing unit can spot and accurately measure the amount of the commonly used and contentious herbicide glyphosate in droplets of fluid in a lab examination.Washington State University (WSU)...
Students from Monash Chemical Engineering developed a sustainable, autonomous water treatment system that eliminates persistent organic pollutants from industrial wastewater using nature's natural water treatment cycle as inspiration. The unique Stand Alone Sunflow System (SASS) - developed by Ph.D. students Mostafa Dehghani and Mahdi Naseri, and also undergraduate student Clare Carew - utilizes conveniently accessible as...
