| Oil and natural gas production emit more methane than previously thought Posted: 26 Mar 2021 02:47 PM PDT The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is underestimating methane emissions from oil and gas production in its annual Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks, according to new research. The research team found 90 percent higher emissions from oil production and 50 percent higher emissions for natural gas production than EPA estimated in its latest inventory. |
| Uranium compound achieves record anomalous Nernst conductivity Posted: 26 Mar 2021 02:47 PM PDT New research has demonstrated that a magnetic uranium compound can have strong thermoelectric properties, generating four times the transverse voltage from heat than the previous record in a cobalt-manganese-gallium compound. |
| Signals from muscle protect from dementia Posted: 26 Mar 2021 12:23 PM PDT Scientists are studying how signals sent from skeletal muscle affect the brain. |
| Ancient genomes trace the origin and decline of the Scythians Posted: 26 Mar 2021 12:13 PM PDT Generally thought of as fierce horse-warriors, the Scythians were a multitude of Iron Age cultures who ruled the Eurasian steppe, playing a major role in Eurasian history. A new study analyzes genome-wide data for 111 ancient individuals spanning the Central Asian Steppe from the first millennia BCE and CE. The results reveal new insights into the genetic events associated with the origins, development and decline of the steppe's legendary Scythians. |
| Posted: 26 Mar 2021 12:13 PM PDT An ion channel called TRPC5 acts as a molecular cold sensor in teeth and could serve as a new drug target for treating toothaches. |
| Controlling bubble formation on electrodes Posted: 26 Mar 2021 12:13 PM PDT A new study finds the wettability of porous electrode surfaces is key to making efficient water-splitting or carbon-capturing systems. |
| Plasmon-coupled gold nanoparticles useful for thermal history sensing Posted: 26 Mar 2021 09:27 AM PDT Researchers have demonstrated that stretching shape-memory polymers embedded with clusters of gold nanoparticles alters their plasmon-coupling, giving rise to desirable optical properties. One potential application for the material is a sensor that relies on optical properties to track an object or environment's thermal history. |
| Hypnosis changes the way our brain processes information Posted: 26 Mar 2021 09:27 AM PDT In a new study, researchers showcased that the way our brain processes information is fundamentally altered during hypnosis. The research helps to understand how hypnosis produces changes in a hypnotized person's behavior and subjective experiences. |
| Correcting altered brain circuit could tackle coinciding obesity and depression Posted: 26 Mar 2021 09:27 AM PDT Researchers have identified and characterized a novel neural circuit that mediates the reciprocal control of obesity and depression in mouse models, and a potential therapy. |
| The persistent danger after landscape fires Posted: 26 Mar 2021 09:27 AM PDT Every year, an estimated four percent of the world's vegetated land surface burns, leaving more than 250 megatons of carbonized plants behind. A study has now recorded elevated concentrations of environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFR) in these charcoals - in some cases even up to five years after the fire. These EPFR may generate reactive substances, which in turn harm plants and living organisms. |
| A general approach to high-efficiency perovskite solar cells Posted: 26 Mar 2021 07:47 AM PDT Researchers developed a general methodology for the reproducible fabrication of high efficiency perovskite solar cells. |
| Eat me: The cell signal of death Posted: 26 Mar 2021 05:52 AM PDT Scientists have revealed molecular mechanisms involved in eliminating unwanted cells in the body. A nuclear protein fragment released into the cytoplasm activates a plasma membrane protein to display a lipid on the cell surface, signalling other cells to get rid of it. |
