Spirals of solar wind can spin off larger solar eruptions and disrupt Earth's magnetic field, yet they are too difficult to detect with our current single-location warning system, according to a new study from the University of Michigan.
University of Utah engineers’ stripped-down version of glycoproteins in polar-region fish is simple enough to be manufactured at scale, but powerful enough to inhibit formation of ice crystals at sub-zero temperatures without toxicity of chemical antifreeze. Researchers successfully tested the synthesized polypeptide at temperatures relevant for storing frozen foods, as well as much colder temperatures used when transporting medicines.
Quantum technologies need one particle of light, or photon, at a time. Quantum light sources also require each photon to be identical in energy. New sheetlike coating protects sources from contamination, improving spectral purity.
A team of researchers from the Bhatnagar Lab at Boston University recently published a paper in Nature Cities that studied the difference in microbial communities of street trees and non-urban forest trees. By analyzing fungal and bacterial diversity, tree size, and soil properties, their research shows the impacts of urban environmental stressors upon city tree microbiomes.
