A research team recently developed a sustainable and chemical-free superoxide (O2•−) generation strategy by integrating rechargeable carbonaceous supercapacitors with redox-moiety based O2 activation. These findings have the potential to provide a new strategy for the sustainable remediation of natural water and soil environments. The scientists reported their results in the journal Nature Water. A research team…

The extinction of the woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) at the onset of the Holocene remains an enigma, with conflicting evidence regarding its cause and dynamics. The post Ancient Humans Played Role in Demise of Woolly Rhinoceros, New Research Suggests appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News.  The extinction of the woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) at…

Remote sensing has long been a crucial tool in archaeology, with optical and radar imaging maturing significantly. However, detecting sub-surface features and monitoring heritage sites under various environmental conditions remain challenging. Remote sensing has long been a crucial tool in archaeology, with optical and radar imaging maturing significantly.

How much does a loan officer’s familiarity with an auditor affect their client’s ability to receive a commercial loan? New research from Georgia Tech suggests that while knowing an auditor doesn’t guarantee a commercial loan, loan officers are more likely to deny loans to companies that have auditors with poor reputations. How much does a loan…

New data on over 1,500 trees across nearly 1,000 sites shows that an existing theory of how individuals within a species will respond to a changing climate might not be true. New data on over 1,500 trees across nearly 1,000 sites shows that an existing theory of how individuals within a species will respond to a…

A dangerous heat wave was building over parts of the western United States Tuesday, with forecasters warning of rocketing temperatures in an early taste of a possibly brutal summer for the region. A dangerous heat wave was building over parts of the western United States Tuesday, with forecasters warning of rocketing temperatures in an early taste…

Launched on 18 December 2019, OPS-SAT was tasked with opening up the world of spacecraft operations to the widest possible audience.
