New technique enables rapid evaluation of fuel cell catalyst durability, identification of degradation mechanisms
(Top) Limitations of traditional fuel cell catalyst degradation analysis methods. Overlapping degradation processes are captured, making it difficult to identify which degradation process is the major cause. (Lower) The new…
Remains of waka canoe found on Chatham Islands
The Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture & Heritage have announced the discovery of a waka canoe on the Chatham Islands. The Chatham Islands, also known as Rēkohu in Morior, and…
Brain Connectivity Patterns Link Vascular Disease to Cognitive Decline
Summary: Researchers have identified how cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) disrupts brain connectivity, contributing to cognitive decline and neurodegeneration alongside Alzheimer’s disease (AD). By studying brain networks and blood biomarkers in older…
40,000-year-old stone tools reveals early human adaption to Rainforest environments
An international team, led by researchers from MNCN-CSIC and IPHES-CERCA, have discovered 40,000-year-old stone tools in the African equatorial rainforest, providing the first evidence of systematic human occupation in rainforest…
Scientists turn 3 years’ worth of solar flares into audible sound (video)
If you’re more of an auditory learner than a visual one, this timelapse video is for you. (And, well, visual learners will probably love it, too!) The European Space Agency…
Discovery of Semliki Forest virus’s brain entry route opens new avenues for tumor treatment
A genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen identifies VLDLR as entry receptor for SFV4. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-55493-3 In a recent study, researchers from Uppsala University have shown that the Semliki…
Engineers create novel design for electromagnetic induction type vibration energy harvesters
Researchers propose novel repulsive ring magnet pair- and yoke-based design for electromagnetic induction type vibration energy harvesters to enhance conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy. Credit: Prof. Dahoon Ahn…
Physicists discover and explain unexpected magnetism in atomically thin material
MIT physicists have created an ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties. They did so by working with three layers of graphene. Each layer is composed of only a single…
How can we fix climate COPs? Let’s start with the voting rules
COPs can’t be fixed with organisational reforms – we need to address the obstruction that results from blanket consensus decision-making Dr Joanna Depledge is a research fellow at the Centre…
