Researchers from Leiden University in the Netherlands have conducted a study of coronal mass ejections on a young solar-type star known as AB Doradus. Results of the new research, published August 1 on the pre-print server arXiv, could provide more insights into the nature of these eruptive events. Researchers from Leiden University in the Netherlands have…
Pesticides and herbicides are critical to ensuring food security worldwide, but these substances can present a safety risk to people who unwittingly ingest them. Protecting human health, therefore, demands sensitive analytical methods to identify even trace levels of potentially harmful substances. Now, researchers reporting in Nano Letters have developed a high-tech imaging method to detect…

Passenger planes and private jets that fly higher can create longer-lasting contrails, meaning their contribution to global warming has been underestimated Passenger planes and private jets that fly higher can create longer-lasting contrails, meaning their contribution to global warming has been underestimated New Scientist – News
Our future energy may depend on high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wires. This technology’s ability to carry electricity without resistance at temperatures higher than those required by traditional superconductors could revolutionize the electric grid and even enable commercial nuclear fusion.

On a blustery day in early March, the who’s who of methane research gathered at Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara, California. Dozens of people crammed into a NASA mission control center. Others watched from cars pulled alongside roads just outside the sprawling facility. Many more followed a livestream. They came from across the…

The composition of gut bacteria of thoroughbred racehorses at one month old can predict their future athletic performance, according to a new study from the University of Surrey. In the study, foals with lower bacterial diversity at 28 days old also had a significantly increased risk of respiratory disease later in life. The composition of gut…
Traditional Polynesian conservation methods are being used to revive local ecosystems and protect natural resources in Tahiti, including near the Paris Olympics surfing venue. Called rahui, the practice temporarily restricts or bans the harvesting of essential resources in a designated area. Legally recognized in French Polynesia environmental code since 2016, this bottom-up solution is managed…
