a water disinfectant made on the spot using only hydrogen and the ambient air Credit: Aleksandr Slobodianyk/ pexels.com According to researchers from Cardiff University, a water disinfectant made on the spot using only hydrogen and the ambient air is thousands of times more efficient than conventional commercial techniques at eliminating viruses and bacteria. Announcing...
A conceptual hypersonic aircraft is pictured. Background image credit: NASA. Aircraft and composite image credit: Daniel Rosato, UCF. The UCF-developed propulsion system might allow for flight To reach speeds of Mach 6 to 17 (beyond 7,403 to 20,921 kilometers per hour) and have air and space travel applications. University of Central Florida scientists are improving their...
The plastic material is of precious help. Some might also say it is an inevitability. However, it causes a tremendous harmful influence on our environment. Well, consider the Great Pacific rubbish patch, an oceanic accumulation of trash so enormous that it is generally referred to as a trash island. The area is twice the size...
Schematic image of low-purity CO2 storage with membrane-based Direct Air Capture (DAC). Credit: Takeshi Tsuji A new research shows that geological storage of low purity carbon dioxide associated with oxygen and nitrogen of direct air capture is an environmentally and financially feasible techniques to remove carbon from the environment. The recurring international threat of environmental adjustment...
Lebanon Meteorite: NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover discovered this huge meteorite, called “Lebanon” on July 15th, 2014. A small piece of the meteorite, called “Lebanon B”, is allowed to be seen in the foreground. The cavities on the surface of the meteorite may have been cavities, once filled with olivine crystals, or, they may be...
Scientists have collected evidence of local symmetry breaking in a quantum material upon heating. They believe these local states are associated with electronic orbitals that serve as orbital degeneracy lifting (ODL) "precursors" to the titanium (Ti) dimers (two molecules linked together) formed when the material is cooled to low temperature. (Electron orbitals are considered...
An international group of scientists made a tiny chemistry lab for a rover that will drill below the Martian surface, searching for previous or existing life signs. For ExoMars Reconnaissance is a joint venture involving the European Space Agency and the Russian aerospace company Roscosmos. NASA made a significant contribution to MOMA, the laboratory...
The ignition of plasma under water. Credit: © Damian Gorczany Physicists of Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have taken amazing pictures that allow the ignition process of plasma underwater to be observed and also tracked in real-time. Dr. Katharina Grosse has given the first data collections with the ultra-high temporal resolution, backing a new theory on igniting...
How did it all start? This image maps the cooler infrared emission from interstellar dust found throughout the interstellar medium. NASA/JPL-Caltech As humanity has rolled in beyond into space, we have come to learn a great deal even more concerning the lifecycle of the solar system. From a collapsing cloud of gas into an all-new star to an...
Scientists have established a mathematical model to anticipate the maximum exercise program for building muscular tissue. The scientists from the University of Cambridge utilized methods of theoretical biophysics to create the model, which can inform just how much a certain amount of physical effort will lead a muscle to grow and how much time it...
