How drones can monitor explosive volcanoes
Due to the difficult accessibility and the high risk of collapse or explosion, the imaging of active volcanoes has so far been a great...
Building bricks from plastic waste
Revolutionary 'green' types of bricks and construction materials could be made from recycled PVC, waste plant fibers or sand with the help of a...
Pesticides disrupt honeybee nursing behavior and larval development
A newly developed video technique has allowed scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt at the Bee Research Institute of the Polytechnical Society to record the...
Energy-recovery linear accelerator proposed for next-generation physics research
As physicists developed plans for building an electron-ion collider (EIC)—a next-generation nuclear physics facility to be built at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven...
New database reveals plants’ secret relationships with fungi
Leiden researchers have compiled information collected by scientists over the past 120 years into a database of plant-fungal interactions. This important biological data is...
Unique insight into development of the human brain: Model of the early embryonic brain
Stem cell researchers from the University of Copenhagen have designed a model of an early embryonic brain. The model will increase our understanding of...
New double-contrast technique picks up small tumors on MRI
Early detection of tumors is extremely important in treating cancer. A new technique developed by researchers at the University of California, Davis offers a...
Solving the space junk problem
Space is getting crowded. Aging satellites and space debris crowd low-Earth orbit, and launching new satellites adds to the collision risk. The most effective...
New soliton laser pulses deliver high energy in a trillionth of a second
Scientists have developed a new type of laser that can deliver high amounts of energy in very short bursts of time, with potential applications...
Applying physics to understanding the mystery of consciousness
An international study involving Monash physicists has cornered a new approach to measure consciousness, potentially changing our understanding complex neurological problems.
The study published today...
An under-researched mechanism in the fast-moving field of epigenetics
A key epigenetic mark can block the binding of an important gene regulatory protein, and therefore prohibit the gene from being turned off, a...
