Early one October afternoon in 2023, thick gray smoke drifted across Sheffield's western skyline. As much of the city became blanketed, residents turned to social media to complain about "bonfire smoke," while others were ...
Researchers have created a palladium-on-carbon catalyst for drug, pesticide, and plastic production that is very sparing in terms of precious metal use. In the new catalyst, palladium is carried on carbon particles manufactured ...
In order to help prevent the climate crisis, actively reducing already-emitted CO₂ is essential. Accordingly, direct air capture (DAC)—a technology that directly extracts only CO₂ from the air—is gaining attention. ...
Not much attention is paid to plankton because these creatures are usually hidden from sight. They are mostly microscopic in size and live in aquatic environments, but human lives are intricately connected with plankton.
By 2028, NASA intends to land the "first woman and first person of color" on the moon as part of the Artemis III mission. This will be the first time humans have been to the lunar surface since the Apollo astronauts last ...
Devices taking advantage of the collective quantum behavior of spin excitations in magnetic materials—known as magnons—have the potential to improve quantum computing devices. However, using magnons in quantum devices ...
When the island of Santorini was rattled by thousands of small earthquakes earlier this year, many people were left mystified about the source of the tremors.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have developed a novel 3D printing technique that uses light to build complex structures, then cleanly dissolves the support material, expanding possibilities in multi-material ...
Scientists have created tiny disk-shaped particles that can swim on their own when hit with light, akin to microscopic robots that move through a special liquid without any external motors or propellers.
What was life like some 8,000–9,000 years ago for the people on the East Mound at Çatalhöyük, an important Neolithic settlement in central Anatolia? And what role did women hold in their society?
