Climate change is reshaping forests across the United States in varying ways, as demonstrated by a recent analysis of U.S. Forest Service data. With the escalating impact of rising temperatures, droughts, wildfires, and disease outbreaks, forests in the American West are particularly vulnerable to these consequences. The analysis, conducted by researchers J. Aaron Hogan and
Scientists from TU Delft have discovered the optimal conditions for the growth of microalgal cells in photosynthetic engineered living materials. These materials, which utilize light energy to convert CO2 into sugars, energy, and oxygen, have the potential to be used in various applications such as CO2 capture and as a source of oxygen for biological
In the realm of condensed matter physics, the study of magnons has seen a remarkable breakthrough. A collaborative effort between researchers at the Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI-1), École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland, and the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) has led to an exploration of the uncharted magnonic properties
Engineers from prestigious UK universities have recently unveiled a groundbreaking method of measuring temperature using a soft and flexible “smart skin” sensor. Unlike traditional thermistors, this sensor is composed of a composite material comprised of carbon fibers and silicon rubber, making it both flexible and versatile. The remarkable feature of this sensor is its ability
Astrobotic, a private US space exploration company, is facing a major setback as its lunar lander, Peregrine, is now heading towards Earth instead of completing its intended mission on the Moon. The spacecraft has been leaking fuel since the beginning of its ill-fated journey, causing an onboard explosion and rendering a soft lunar touchdown impossible.
