Plasma and graphene combine to protect metal surfaces from corrosion

Plasma is an ionized gas, often referred to as the fourth state of matter. Plasmas, which are created artificially by applying energy to a gas, are found in the fluorescent tubes that illuminate kitchens. However, they have many other possible applications, such as the production

Coal pollution reaches one of Earth's most remote mountain regions

The Himalayas are often seen as one of Earth's great natural barriers, separating the heavily populated and industrialized regions of South Asia from the remote Tibetan Plateau. But new research, published in Geophysical Research Letters, suggests that this mountain range is not

‘Literally growing the future’: volunteers help save Scottish rainforest by collecting 11m

Teams painstakingly combed endangered Atlantic habitat over several years, helping to grow 8m native treesA small band of volunteers has helped to grow nearly 8m native trees in Scotland, crucial to efforts to restore lost parts of the Atlantic rainforest, after collecting 11m se

Tiny DNA 'hitchhikers' may be reshaping life in thawing Arctic soils

Amid the peatlands of northern Sweden, billions of microbes are quietly rewriting their genetic playbooks—and doing so far more often than scientists realized.

Plutonium compound unlocks rare topological quantum behavior with potential nuclear scienc

Plutonium is one of the most complex elements in the periodic table. First synthesized and isolated in 1940 by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, plutonium has been studied closely for more than eight decades. It's most often associated with its role in nuclear

Measuring process over product: AI approach assesses learning processes

Artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly reshaping education worldwide. While AI tools increasingly support students in brainstorming, drafting and problem-solving, assessment practices often remain narrowly focused on final outputs. This raises a critical question: How can edu

How PFAS chain length influences environmental fate and water treatment

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as "forever chemicals," are among the most persistent contaminants found in water systems worldwide. Their strong carbon-fluorine bonds make them highly resistant to degradation, allowing them to remain in the environm

New research shows why startups may be learning the wrong lessons from customers

A study by ESMT Berlin shows that startups often learn the wrong lessons when entering a market if they do not coordinate pricing, advertising and inventory decisions. The researchers show that targeted experiments with price and advertising help firms better understand customer

Deliberate slow growth could explain bacteria survival strategies

Escherichia coli (E. coli) are mostly harmless bacteria that live in the intestines of animals and humans. They are the most well-studied bacteria and, often, when scientists discover something about E. coli, they extrapolate that discovery across all bacteria. So when scientists

AI analysis of data from multiple sensors can improve earthquake detection

One seismometer is often not enough to reliably detect earthquakes or human activity such as underground nuclear tests. Rather, researchers combine readings from seismometers distributed across a small geographic area to gain confidence in their analysis. Artificial intelligence
