A traditional economy follows a linear "take-make-use-dispose" path. A circular economy, in contrast, retains the value of materials and products within a supply chain for longer.
A sensor that can measure hormone concentrations in plants precisely and in real time with minimal damage can shed light on how hormones affect plants' response to disease and stress. With further development, it could also ...
In every living cell, there are membranes, and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical gatekeeper.
People have long wondered what life was first like on Earth, and if there is life in our solar system beyond our planet. Scientists have reason to believe that some of the moons in our solar system—like Jupiter's Europa ...
A new review highlights a powerful, cleaner route to produce ultra-clean, customizable nanoparticles—key building blocks for artificial sensory systems that mimic human perception and power emerging technologies like extended ...
Fresh, frozen and processed berries are a multi-billion-dollar business in America. In Arkansas alone, fresh-market blackberries contribute $24.3 million each year to the state's economy. But these delicate blackberries sold ...
Synthetic antiferromagnets are carefully engineered magnetic materials made up of alternating ferromagnetic layers with oppositely aligned magnetic moments, separated by a non-magnetic spacer. These materials can display ...
Just 9% of plastic worldwide is recycled. Due to waste mismanagement, nearly three-quarters of it ends up in landfills or the environment.
Lasers that are fabricated directly onto silicon photonic chips offer several advantages over external laser sources, such as greater scalability. Furthermore, photonic chips with these "monolithically" integrated lasers ...
Research from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities gives new insight into a material that could make computer memory faster and more energy-efficient.
