Advancing high temperature electrolysis: Splitting water to store energy as hydrogen
While energy sources such as wind and solar are great at producing emissions-free electricity, they depend on the sun and the wind, so supply...
Rotating galaxies galore: New results from ALPINE reveal what appear to be spiral galaxies...
New results from an ambitious sky survey program, called ALPINE, reveal that rotating disk-shaped galaxies may have existed in large numbers earlier in the...
LIGO and Virgo detectors catch first gravitational wave from binary black hole merger with...
The expectations of the gravitational-wave research community have been fulfilled: gravitational-wave discoveries are now part of their daily work as they have identified in...
Eurasian ice sheet collapse raised seas eight metres: study
The melting of the Eurasian ice sheet around 14,000 years ago lifted global sea levels by about eight metres, according to new research published...
New discovery helps close the gap towards optically-controlled quantum computation
Scientists at Ames Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the University of Alabama Birmingham have discovered a light-induced switching mechanism in a Dirac semimetal. The...
Scientists uncover principles of universal self-assembly
For years, researchers have searched for the working principles of self-assembly that can build a cell (a complex biological organism) as well as a...
Physicists develop approach to increase performance of solar energy
Experimental condensed matter physicists in the Department of Physics at the University of Oklahoma have developed an approach to circumvent a major loss process...
Tracing the human genetic history: Every tooth tells a different story
Researchers at the University of Tübingen have shown that the shape of human teeth can be used to reconstruct genetic relationships. Dr. Hannes Rathmann...
‘Lucky’ MESSENGER data upends long-held idea about Venus’ atmosphere
Philosopher Nicholas Rescher once wrote, "Scientific discoveries are often made not on the basis of some well-contrived plan of investigation, but through some stroke...
New ethane-munching microbes discovered at hot vents
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen have discovered a microbe that feeds on ethane at deep-sea hot vents. With...
Rising CO2 causes more than a climate crisis—it may directly harm our ability to...
As the 21st century progresses, rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations will cause urban and indoor levels of the gas to increase, and that...
