The melting of Alaska’s Juneau Icefield, which contains more than 1,000 glaciers, is accelerating and could reach a tipping point much sooner than predicted, according to research published Tuesday. The research, which was published in the journal Nature communicationshows that ice loss from the Juneau Icefield began to accelerate rapidly after 2005. The paper’s authors … Read more
Researchers at ETH Zurich have successfully demonstrated high-vacuum levitation of a silica nanoparticle on a hybrid photonic-electric chip. This major achievement, detailed in their latest study published in Nature Nanotechnologyrepresents a major step forward in the field of nanotechnology and opens up new possibilities for future technological applications. The breakthrough is the latest in a … Read more
A group of sheep. Credit: INRAE - Sophie Normant Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique often used to study the brains of sheep. Until now, it was only performed under general anesthesia, to ensure the immobility of the animal. However, anesthesia leads to stress and other negative side effects, in addition to jeopardizing the … Read more
University of Glasgow Techniques developed to analyze ripples in space-time detected by one of the most sensitive scientific instruments of the 21st century have shed new light on the function of the oldest known analog computer. Astronomers from the University of Glasgow have used statistical modelling techniques developed to analyse gravitational waves to determine the … Read more
Source: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain For a wide range of industries, separating gases is an important part of both the process and the product. This includes separating nitrogen and oxygen from the air for medical purposes, separating carbon dioxide from other gases in the carbon capture process or removing impurities from natural gas. However, separating gases … Read more
