Unexpected pathway turns water and CO₂ into climate‑neutral methane on nickel–zirconia

Natural gas still plays an important role in many industrial sectors, but it is a climate-damaging fossil fuel. TU Wien and the University of Innsbruck have now discovered an unexpected reaction pathway that makes it possible to synthesize natural gas, or methane (CH4), using CO2

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

New Horizons tracks solar wind slowdown as interstellar atoms add drag

A new Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) study based on data from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has uncovered insights into why the solar wind gradually slows as it moves toward the edge of the solar system and the boundary with interstellar space. The study "The Gradual Slowin

What DC's algal bloom reveals about a growing water threat

When bright green water appeared in the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, it drew national attention and sparked political finger-pointing. The culprit: cyanobacteria—sometimes called blue-green algae—a type of bacteria that can produce toxins harmful to people, p

Cochlea network model reveals how inner ear may sort sound from noise

Over 70 million people in the U.S. are impacted by hearing loss, and age-related hearing loss is the second most common health problem in older adults, according to the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health. However, scientists still do not fully understand how the cochlea

First-of-a-kind laser spring opens up new avenues for plasma control

When a high-intensity laser interacts with plasma, the charged particles typically oscillate back and forth like waves on the ocean. But what if the laser itself could twist like a whirlpool? Researchers have now demonstrated a rotating, spring-shaped laser pulse, opening new pos

Lipids and DNA nanostructures independently control artificial cell mechanics

What if the mechanical properties of a cell could be programmed like the components of a machine? Researchers at the University of Tokyo have discovered that two fundamental modes of cellular deformation—stretching and bending—can be independently controlled using different molec

Tailored supplier strategies could cut emissions better than one-size-fits-all procurement

Companies hoping to reduce the environmental impact of their purchasing should tailor relationships with suppliers to different types of products rather than relying on a single procurement strategy, according to research published in the International Journal of Procurement Mana

Testing the orbital mechanics of giant mirrors

Giant mirrors in space have been a staple of science fiction for decades. But so far, there's been very little work looking at the actual physics behind the concept—possibly because we're still so far from making them ourselves. Still, they could potentially serve as a passive te
