Packrats, also known as woodrats, are the original hoarders, collecting materials from their environment to make their nests, called middens. In deserts throughout western North America, for instance, packrat middens can preserve plants, insects, bones and other specimens for more than 50,000 years, offering scientists a snapshot into the past. Packrats, also known as woodrats, are…
Seafood is in high demand across several regions of the world. Moreover, this demand for seafood is expected to surge by a whopping 56% by 2050. Given the high moisture content and susceptibility of seafood to microbial and biochemical decay, it often requires heavy processing and preservation to retain freshness, unique composition, and flavors. Seafood is…
New research into an ancient timber circle discovered on a Norfolk beach and dubbed “Seahenge” suggests it was created in response to a period of extreme climatic deterioration at the close of the third millennium BC.

Children and youths in Sweden who are placed in out-of-home care via court order run an increased risk of suicide, mental illness, and crime, according to research conducted by Ronja Helénsdotter at the School of Business, Economics, and Law, at the University of Gothenburg. Children and youths in Sweden who are placed in out-of-home care via…
A team of material scientists recently outlined the state of inducing piezoelectricity in distorted rutile TiO2 for enhanced tetracycline hydrochloride degradation through photopiezocatalysis. The team was led by Prof. Qi Li from Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu, China.

Researchers have developed a new type of hologram, known as “metaholograms,” capable of projecting multiple high-fidelity images free of crosstalk. This breakthrough paves the way for next-generation technologies including virtual/augmented reality (AR/VR) displays, information storage, and image encryption. Researchers have developed a new type of hologram, known as “metaholograms,” capable of projecting multiple high-fidelity images free…
Blue energy has the potential to provide a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. In simple terms, it involves harnessing the energy produced when the ions in a salt solution move from high to low concentrations.

Addressing climate change demands rethinking of established chemical processes on a timescale of years rather than decades as in traditional R&D cycles. In collaboration with BasCat (UniCat BASF JointLab), a team of researchers from the Theory Department at the Fritz Haber Institute developed an accelerated discovery approach to identify a promising catalytic promoter formulation for…
High policy credibility is crucial for carbon prices in the EU emissions trading system (EU ETS) to be high enough to efficiently incentivize emission reductions in the long term, a new study finds.
