New Study Finds Microplastic Throughout Monterey Bay; Concentrations Are Greater Than at Surface of the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch”
Many people have heard of the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch,” a vast area of ocean between California and Hawaii where ocean currents concentrate plastic pollution.
Snout Dated: Slow-Evolving Elephant Shark Offers New Insights into Human Physiology
The mineralocortoid receptor (MR) regulates water and sodium transport throughout cells and tissues, which is critical for controlling blood pressure and so, not surprisingly, the MR is common to all vertebrate animals.
Manipulating Light-Matter Interaction Unlocks Properties for Quantum Information Storage and Computing
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have come up with a way to manipulate tungsten diselenide (WSe2) —a promising two-dimensional material—to further unlock its potential to enable faster, more efficient computing, and even quantum information processing and storage.
Climate Change To Make Events Like 2017 Northern Plains Flash Drought More Likely
The 2017 Northern Plains drought hit hard and without warning, desiccating pastures, rangelands and wheat, sparking massive wildfires, and causing widespread livestock sell-offs across the Dakotas, northeastern Montana and the Canadian Prairies.
How to Speed Up the Discovery of New Solar Cell Materials
A broad class of materials called perovskites is considered one of the most promising avenues for developing new, more efficient solar cells.
