| Bay Area storms get wetter in a warming world Posted: 28 Apr 2022 12:22 PM PDT Researchers used supercomputers to run high-resolution climate simulations that show how historically-impactful storm events could look in a warmer world. The researchers simulated five of the most powerful storms that have hit the San Francisco Bay Area since 1984, then projected how these historical storms would look in 2050 and 2100. They determined that some of these extreme events would deliver 26-37 percent more rain by 2100. |
| From seawater to drinking water, with the push of a button Posted: 28 Apr 2022 12:22 PM PDT Researchers created a portable desalination unit that can remove particles and salts simultaneously to generate drinking water. The user-friendly unit, which weighs less than 10 kilograms and does not require filters, can be powered by a small, portable solar panel. |
| Neural pathway key to sensation of pleasant touch identified Posted: 28 Apr 2022 11:28 AM PDT Researchers have identified a specific neuropeptide and a neural circuit that transmit pleasant touch from the skin to the brain. The findings eventually may help scientists better understand and treat disorders characterized by touch avoidance and impaired social development. |
| Metamaterial significantly enhances chiral nanoparticle signals Posted: 28 Apr 2022 11:28 AM PDT Researchers have succeeded in amplifying the nonlinear response using artificial chiral metamaterial. The new technology enhances the possible applications of mirror symmetry by amplifying chiral nanoparticle signals. |
| Researchers unlock potential means to reduce lithium-ion batteries reliance on rare metals Posted: 28 Apr 2022 11:28 AM PDT Lithium-ion batteries power our everyday products, from laptops to vehicles, because of their safety, longevity, and charging speeds. Yet their production relies on rare metals such as cobalt and nickel. Now, a research group has unearthed a potential method for incorporating more common and cheaper elements as synthesizing electrode materials. |
| Finding new weapons in nature's battlesites Posted: 28 Apr 2022 11:28 AM PDT Interactions between microbes and other organisms are mediated by a plethora of small molecules, also called natural products. Researchers have now performed a systematic analysis of biosynthetic 'dark matter' and biological functions, thus creating a solid basis for future discovery and refinement of natural products. |
| Atherosclerosis: How diseased blood vessels communicate with the brain Posted: 28 Apr 2022 11:28 AM PDT Scientists have been able to demonstrate that nerve signals are exchanged between arteries and the brain in atherosclerosis. |
| Research reveals the sex secrets of amphibian singing choruses Posted: 28 Apr 2022 11:27 AM PDT Researchers using an 'acoustic camera' discover how individual songs in an amphibian chorus influence mating in wood frogs. |
