6+ hour, 58+ min ago   (49+ words) unpublished.ca Scientists just found sugar in space. Here's why that matters It's a sweet discovery that has the science world talking — and may help us better understand the origins of life on Earth. Be the first to comment...

1+ hour, 45+ min ago   (684+ words) A surprisingly large number and diversity of bee species — 74 out of 96 tested — have magnetic properties, according to research my colleagues and I recently published in the journal Science Advances. Some animals are able to use iron-based magnetic compounds, such as…...

49+ min ago   (349+ words) A new study in npj Flexible Electronics reports a data-driven strategy for building stretchable electrodes whose performance is no longer tied to a specific pulling direction or device geometry. As wearable and soft robotic technologies move toward complex, real-world motions,…...

1+ hour, 30+ min ago   (248+ words) A new wave of lab-built “evolution engines” is emerging for making asymmetric biocatalysts—enzymes that can reliably produce one molecular mirror image over the other. In a viral report spanning advanced screening and synthetic biology, researchers describe how enantioselective biosensors…...

5+ hour, 53+ min ago   (1024+ words) Coffee grounds biodiesel could become cleaner and more efficient through a one-hour oil extraction process that preserves useful biomass. (CREDIT: Wikimedia / CC BY-SA 4.0) Coffee grounds carry more energy than their trip to the trash suggests. Packed with oils and plant…...

2+ hour, 20+ min ago   (385+ words) Chemists have long used single-electron transfer to activate tough molecules and link them into more complex structures. But a stubborn rule has limited what synthetic chemists can reliably achieve: when two reactants compete for an electron, the system tends to…...

2+ hour, 30+ min ago   (268+ words) Bioengineer.org A data-driven method is giving tea authentication a technological upgrade Researchers report that Minnan oolong teas can be distinguished by variety using a two-part strategy: electronic sensory instruments paired with non-targeted high-resolution metabolomics Instead of relying solely on…...

3+ hour, 10+ min ago   (220+ words) In research led by Yifan Dai and Rohit V. Pappu at Washington University in St. Louis, the team discovered “condenzymes”: condensates that catalyze reactions despite lacking the traditional catalytic machinery one would expect from enzymes. The central idea is that phase…...

9+ hour, 16+ min ago   (382+ words) JAKARTA - The increasing problem of plastic waste has encouraged the birth of various innovations to support the government's efforts to realize sustainable waste management. One of the innovations was developed by the founder of the Banjarnegara Waste Bank (BSB), Budi…...

11+ hour, 20+ min ago   (354+ words) A frozen-core optical fiber has revealed a powerful new way to control interactions between light and sound. Molten lava hardens into rock as it cools, much as the surface of a lake freezes during a cold winter. In both cases,…...
