Scientists have uncovered a summertime climate pattern in and around the Arctic that could drive co-occurrences of European heatwaves and large-scale wildfires with air pollution…
A hydrogel, a type of soft matter, developed at Hokkaido University successfully reverted cancer cells back to cancer stem cells within 24 hours, in six…
For the first time, scientists have succeeded in continuous monitoring of a subglacial discharge plume, providing a deeper understanding of the glacier-fjord environment. As marine-terminating…
A 2020 explosion in Lebanon’s port city of Beirut led to a southward-bound, high-velocity atmospheric wave that rivaled ones generated by volcanic eruptions. Just after…
Researchers at Hokkaido University and Amoeba Energy in Japan have, inspired by the efficient foraging behavior of a single-celled amoeba, developed an analog computer for…
Scientists from Japan and the USA have confirmed the presence in meteorites of a key organic molecule that may have been used to build other…
Computational models suggest that melting water originating in the deep interior of Greenland could flow the entire length of a subglacial valley and exit at…
Scientists have estimated that the age of an individual does not indicate how likely they are to be infected by SARS-CoV-2. However, development of symptoms,…
A group of scientists have detected genetic material from SARS-CoV-2 in untreated wastewater samples collected in April 2020 from two wastewater treatment plants in Louisiana,…
A group of researchers have demonstrated that, from seven methods commonly used to test for viruses in untreated wastewater, an adsorption-extraction technique can most efficiently…
Working men with higher incomes are more likely to develop high blood pressure, reports a study presented at the 84th Annual Scientific Meeting of the…
Scientists have found the interstellar organic matter could produce an abundant supply of water by heating, suggesting that organic matter could be the source of terrestrial water….
A group of Japanese scientists has developed an ultrastable, selective catalyst to dehydrogenate propane — an essential process to produce the key petrochemical substance of…
Researchers have succeeded in detecting anti-avian influenza virus antibody in blood serum within 20 minutes, using a portable analyzer they have developed to conduct rapid…
A new study by an international team from the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas and Hokkaido University and Okayama University of Science…
Images from the Akatsuki spacecraft unveil what keeps Venus’s atmosphere rotating much faster than the planet itself. An international research team led by Takeshi Horinouchi…
Getting glued in the sea: New bio-inspired hydrogels can act like superglue in highly ionic environments such as seawater, overcoming issues in currently available marine…
An experiment shows that one of the basic units of life — nucleobases — could have originated within giant gas clouds interspersed between the stars….
