Chemists glimpse the fleeting ‘transition state’ of a reaction
During a chemical reaction, the molecules involved in the reaction gain energy until they reach a "point of no return" known as a transition...
Hard as a rock? Maybe not, say bacteria that help form soil
Research published this week by University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists shows how bacteria can degrade solid bedrock, jump-starting a long process of alteration that creates...
New way to make biomedical devices from silk yields better products with tunable qualities
Researchers led by engineers at Tufts University have developed a novel, significantly more efficient fabrication method for silk that allows them to heat and...
Very Large Telescope images stunning central region of Milky Way, finds ancient star burst
ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) has observed the central part of the Milky Way with spectacular resolution and uncovered new details about the history...
Bird migration timing skewed by climate, new research finds
Life cycles for birds, insects and trees are shifting in this current era of a rapidly changing climate. How migration patterns, in particular, are...
Big step in producing carbon-neutral fuel: silver diphosphide
A new chemical process described in the journal Nature Communications does in the lab what trees do in nature—it converts carbon dioxide into usable chemicals or...
How to use entanglement for long-distance or free-space quantum communication
Entanglement, once called "spooky action at a distance" by Einstein, is the phenomenon in which the quantum states of separated particles cannot be described...
Halting climate change means a world without fossil fuels—not merely curbing emissions
A new study by two University of Toronto researchers is proposing a different way to think about tackling climate change—one that shifts focus away...
Physicist proposes a new approach in modeling the evolution of the universe
A physicist from RUDN University has proposed a new theoretical model for the interaction of spinor and gravitational fields. He considered the evolution of...
New Australian shrimp species scales waterfalls, changes gender and eats using ‘nets’
Researchers have described an unusual species of shrimp found in north Queensland, which scales 100-meter high waterfalls, changes gender, and uses nets on its...
