Scientists have known from ice core research that it’s easier to melt an ice sheet than to freeze it up again. Now, they know at least part of the reason why, and it has to do with ice’s “sponginess,” according to a new study published July 24 in The Cryosphere. Scientists have known from ice core…
New, non-native plant species are constantly being found in Svalbard, and researchers are working to ascertain what threat these species pose to the native plants.

Developing efficient, selective, and scalable separations for critical materials, including lithium and magnesium, is essential to meeting the increasing demands for clean energy technologies and alleviating challenges with domestic supply chains. Graphene oxide (GO) membranes have shown promise for separating ions from mixed solutions based on size. Developing efficient, selective, and scalable separations for critical materials,…

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) and the University of São Paulo (USP) have determined, for the first time with precision, the vertical limits of the marine environments in the Southwest Atlantic, the region comprising the offshore and coastal zones of the Atlantic side of South America. Researchers at the Federal University of…

Ancient Egyptians may have relied on a vertical shaft that could be filled with water, along with a network of water channels and filtration structures, to build the Step Pyramid of Djoser 4500 years ago Ancient Egyptians may have relied on a vertical shaft that could be filled with water, along with a network of water…
Being immunised against shingles has been linked to a reduced dementia risk before and now a study suggests that the newer vaccine wards off the condition more effectively than an older one Being immunised against shingles has been linked to a reduced dementia risk before and now a study suggests that the newer vaccine wards off…
A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the properties of short-chain branched (SCB) polymers. The findings have far-reaching implications for various industrial applications, as SCB polymers can exhibit enhanced performance in packaging materials, electronic devices, automobile parts, and medical devices. The study is published in the Journal of Rheology. A…
