The same technology behind MRI images of injury or disease also powers nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is used to analyze biological molecules for research on diseases and therapeutics. While NMR spectroscopy ...
Literacy rates in Sub-Saharan Africa remain low, despite increased primary school enrollment. In rural Mozambique, only 3% of children possess grade-level reading skills. Poor learning outcomes in lower grades are a barrier ...
RIKEN physicists have created the first thin films featuring a special combination of electrical and topological properties. This demonstration could help to realize new forms of electronics that are highly energy efficient.
Sometime in the 2040s, humans may well reach a new frontier—Mars. To get there, we'll need sustainable sources of food, medicines and materials.
Nearly a decade after they first demonstrated that soft materials could guide the formation of superconductors, Cornell researchers have achieved a one-step, 3D printing method that produces superconductors with record properties.
Asteroids floating through our solar system are debris left over from when our planetary neighborhood formed 4.6 billion years ago. Scientists study these ancient fragments as time capsules that reveal secrets about our solar ...
The urban heat island effect describes the way urban areas get significantly warmer than the surrounding rural or suburban areas. There are a number of reasons why this occurs, although it can mostly be boiled down to the ...
By analyzing the data from the MeerKAT International Giga-Hertz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration (MIGHTEE-HI) survey, astronomers have discovered a new rotating galaxy filament. The newfound filament is about 5.5 million ...
A Trump administration proposal to reverse a landmark finding that climate change is dangerous to the public relies heavily on a report from the Department of Energy that dozens of scientists say is flawed.
Two key documents from the Trump administration aimed at revoking the long-standing finding that climate change is dangerous were filled with errors, bias and distortions, according to dozens of scientists surveyed by The ...
