How we transport water in our bodies inspires new water filtration...
A multidisciplinary group of engineers and scientists has discovered a new method for water filtration that could have implications for a variety of technologies,...
Degraded soils mean tropical forests may never fully recover from logging
Continually logging and re-growing tropical forests to supply timber is reducing the levels of vital nutrients in the soil, which may limit future forest...
Discovery reveals tractionless motion is possible
In an article published in Physical Review Letters, Bristol scientists have answered the fundamental question: "Is it possible to move without exerting force on the...
Artificial intelligence may help scientists make spray-on solar cells
Artificial Intelligence may be just the thing to accelerate spray-on solar cell technology, which could revolutionize how consumers use energy.

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...
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...
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...
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...
