1+ hour, 39+ min ago  (450+ words) New research shows how engineered enzymes and cell-free systems can be combined to recycle CO2 into Acetyl-Co A and other building blocks....

3+ day, 11+ hour ago  (798+ words) A new study has found that 160 million small wetland patches release nearly one-quarter of methane emissions from wetlands outside forests. The finding forces climate accounting to treat tiny, scattered wet ground as active emitters, not minor features that coarse maps…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago  (823+ words) Common solid magnets made from iron-based alloys can help concentrate rare earth elements in underwater environments, where they may accumulate and form crystals. This research provides a groundbreaking and cleaner way to recover materials for modern technology efforts. Inside a…...

6+ day, 12+ hour ago  (851+ words) Scientists have detected a tiny particle becoming caught inside the core of an atom. The finding points to something unexpected: the particle, called an eta-prime, seems to get lighter when it is inside the dense center of an atom. Inside…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago  (804+ words) Magnets that are only one atom thick can keep their internal order, a new discovery that proves a decades-old physics theory. This opens a new path towards more efficient memory devices and the way they store information. In this mode,…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago  (838+ words) A newly engineered plastic filter may offer a faster way to clean up hydrogen " a fuel that industry urgently needs in larger amounts without adding more cost or waste. In lab tests, the material boosted hydrogen flow through a standard…...

2+ week, 1+ day ago  (805+ words) A new study has found that human urine can be concentrated into a fertilizer-rich liquid using a low-energy filtering system that keeps working across repeated cycles. The research turns an overlooked waste product into a practical source of crop nutrients…...

2+ week, 3+ day ago  (795+ words) The ozone layer once stood as a clear example of global cooperation. Nations came together under the Montreal Protocol and cut down the chemicals that were tearing a hole in Earth's protective shield. For years, scientists believed the recovery was…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago  (747+ words) Researchers have developed a solar-powered reactor that uses acid from old car batteries to break down hard-to-recycle plastics into hydrogen fuel and useful chemicals. The finding turns two major waste streams into inputs for energy production, opening a route that…...

3+ week, 5+ day ago  (900+ words) Ocean "dead zones" " low-oxygen regions where marine life struggles to survive " have long been treated as steady, predictable systems where key chemical reactions quietly run in the background. But a new study suggests they are far more dynamic " constantly shifting…...
