• Solving the riddle of the sphingolipids in coronary artery disease
    on April 24, 2024 at 10:25 pm

    Investigators have uncovered a way to unleash in blood vessels the protective effects of a type of fat-related molecule known as a sphingolipid, suggesting a promising new strategy for the treatment of coronary artery disease.

  • Human activities have an intense impact on Earth's deep subsurface fluid flow
    on April 24, 2024 at 10:24 pm

    Hydrologists predict human-induced underground fluid fluxes to rise with climate change mitigation strategies like carbon sequestration.

  • Artificial intelligence helps scientists engineer plants to fight climate change
    on April 24, 2024 at 10:24 pm

    Scientists are using artificial intelligence software to analyze plant root systems, laying out a protocol that can be applied to gather data on crop and model plant phenotypes (physical characteristics) more efficiently and with equal or greater accuracy than existing methods.

  • How light can vaporize water without the need for heat
    on April 24, 2024 at 8:06 pm

    Researchers discovered that light can cause evaporation of water from a surface without the need for heat. This 'photomolecular effect' could be important for understanding climate change and for improving some industrial processes.

  • Positive perceptions of solar projects
    on April 24, 2024 at 8:06 pm

    A new survey has found that for residents living within three miles of a large-scale solar development, positive attitudes outnumbered negative attitudes by almost a 3-to-1 margin. Researchers surveyed almost 1,000 residents living near solar projects.
