University of Washington and Microsoft researchers have introduced a new class of reporter proteins that can be directly read by a commercially available nanopore sensing device. Raw nanopore signals stream from the MinION device, which contains an array of hundreds of nanopore sensors. Each color represents data from an individual nanopore. The team uses...
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...

Copyright: Yu Huang and Xiangfeng Duan A UCLA-led team of engineers and chemists had a significant advancement in developing microbial fuel cells-a modern technology that uses natural bacteria to remove electrons from organic matter in...
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...
Although the emissions targets for air travel remain in line with the overall goals of the Paris Agreement, there is a tremendous likelihood that the climate influence of aviation will certainly not satisfy these objectives, according to a new research study. Aeronautics is a vital contributor to the global economy; however it affects climate change...
Scientists launched the first set of gamma photon data acquired by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer. Credit: DAMPE Collaboration For the very first time, in May of 2021, China's Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) Collaboration directly observed a spectral softening of helium nuclei of around 34TeV. Now, we have even more excellent news from the satellite-based...
The photo showcases NGC 6717, which exists more than 20,000 light-years from Earth in the Sagittarius constellation. Credit: ESA HUBBLE NASA's Hubble telescope has given us some impressive images for many years. In 2019, when it turned 29, it sent us a treasure of a shot of the crab nebula. Now, it is back with a fantastic...
The process might additionally "solve a serious emergency comparable to the Apollo 13 calamity." A brand-new type of inexpensive real estate has been suggested for future Mars colonists. All the astronauts are required to do is pay in blood. Scientists from the College of Manchester proposed-- we guarantee this is not the story of a 90s...
Climate change is not only a human concern; animals have to adjust to it too. Some "warm-blooded" animals are shapeshifting and getting bigger beaks, legs, and ears to manage their body temperatures better as the planet's temperature increases. Bird scientist Sara Ryding of Deakin University in Australia explains these modifications in a review released...
