| Rusting iron can be its own worst enemy Posted: 21 Jan 2022 11:54 AM PST Atom-level simulations reveal the reason iron rusts in supposedly 'inert' supercritical carbon dioxide fluid. Trace amounts of water can cause a reaction at the interface between iron and the fluid, prompting the formation of corrosive chemicals. |
| New neutron-based method helps keep underwater pipelines open Posted: 21 Jan 2022 09:48 AM PST Industry and private consumers alike depend on oil and gas pipelines that stretch thousands of kilometers underwater. It is not uncommon for these pipelines to become clogged with deposits. Until now, there have been few means of identifying the formation of plugs in-situ and non-destructively. Measurements now show that neutrons may provide the solution of choice. |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2022 09:48 AM PST Scientists have made a discovery about the properties of water that could provide an exciting addendum to a phenomenon established over two centuries ago. The discovery also holds interesting possibilities for cooling devices and processes in industrial applications using only the basic properties of water. |
| AI light-field camera reads 3D facial expressions Posted: 21 Jan 2022 06:43 AM PST Machine-learned, light-field camera reads facial expressions from high-contrast illumination invariant 3D facial images. |
| Consistent asteroid showers rock previous thinking on Mars craters Posted: 21 Jan 2022 06:43 AM PST New research has confirmed the frequency of asteroid collisions that formed impact craters on Mars has been consistent over the past 600 million years. |
| Novel microscopic picoshell particles developed Posted: 20 Jan 2022 01:51 PM PST Bioengineers have created a new type of petri dish in the form of microscopic, permeable particles that can dramatically speed up research and development (R&D) timelines of biological products, such as fatty acids for biofuels. Dubbed PicoShells, the picoliter (trillionth of a liter), porous, hydrogel particles can enable more than one million individual cells to be compartmentalized, cultured in production-relevant environments, and selected based on growth and biomass accumulation traits using standard cell-processing equipment. |
| Smarter catalysts through 'induced activation' Posted: 20 Jan 2022 01:51 PM PST Researchers propose a novel method of significantly enhancing the catalytic efficiency of materials already in broad commercial usage, a process they have termed 'induced activation.' |
| Highly eccentric black hole merger discovered Posted: 20 Jan 2022 01:50 PM PST Scientists believe they have detected a merger of two black holes with eccentric orbits. This can help explain how some of the previous black hole mergers are much heavier than previously thought possible. |
| Posted: 20 Jan 2022 11:07 AM PST An artificial pancreas is helping protect very young children with type 1 diabetes at a particularly vulnerable time of their lives. A study published today found that it is both safe to use and more effective at managing their blood sugar levels than current technology. |
| Advancing materials science with the help of biology and a dash of dish soap Posted: 20 Jan 2022 11:07 AM PST Scientists have finally found a way to probe delicate microcrystals with powerful X-ray laser beams. They say their method could help advance semiconductor and solar cell development. |
| Creating sustainable material from waste Posted: 20 Jan 2022 10:51 AM PST A team of researchers looking for ways to upcycle biomass into new products has demonstrated that it is possible to efficiently turn industrially processed lignin into high-performance plastics, such as bio-based 3D-printing resins, and valuable chemicals. An economic and life-cycle analysis reveals the approach can be competitive with similar petroleum-based products, too. |
| Researchers simulate behavior of living 'minimal cell' in three dimensions Posted: 20 Jan 2022 09:53 AM PST Scientists report that they have built a living 'minimal cell' with a genome stripped down to its barest essentials -- and a computer model of the cell that mirrors its behavior. By refining and testing their model, the scientists say they are developing a system for predicting how changes to the genomes, living conditions or physical characteristics of live cells will alter how they function. |
| Nanobubbles provide pathway to build better medical devices Posted: 18 Jan 2022 07:41 AM PST Tiny gas bubbles could help reduce drag in small medical devices, university scientists have found. Drag can lead to clogging and damage biological samples, so this discovery could pave the way to more robust devices. |
