Gas separation is a crucial process in various industries, from manufacturing to research. It is responsible for a significant portion of U.S. energy consumption and contributes to the production of millions of tons of carbon emissions. Finding more efficient and environmentally friendly methods for separating gases is essential to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact.
Stars, contrary to what was once believed, are not fixed and unchanging. Rather, they have the ability to appear suddenly in the night sky and then fade away over a period of days or weeks. One of the earliest recorded instances of such an event occurred on July 4, 1054, when a star suddenly appeared
Recently, a 58-year-old man in the United States made history by becoming the first person in the world to receive a temporary, titanium blood-pumper as a replacement for his failing heart. This innovative device, designed by the medical company BiVACOR, is a game-changer in the field of artificial heart technology. Unlike traditional artificial hearts, BiVACOR’s
In a breakthrough discovery, engineers at the University of Bath have developed a new method to eliminate health-harming ‘forever chemicals’ from water using 3D printing technology. This innovative approach involves the use of ceramic-infused lattices, known as ‘monoliths’, which have shown promising results in removing at least 75% of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a common PFAS
Reconstructing ancient ocean temperatures is a complex process that has traditionally relied on analyzing the ratio of different oxygen atoms in fossils’ calcium carbonate remains. However, this method comes with challenges due to biological processes known as “vital effects,” which can significantly impact the data obtained from corals. A recent study led by the University
The detection of gravitational waves from the collision of black holes in 2015 was a groundbreaking moment in the field of astrophysics. These elusive waves, predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916, have since captured the attention of scientists worldwide. The complexity involved in observing these waves, despite their profound significance, has led researchers to explore
In a recent study published in Science Advances, a research team has made significant strides in the realm of artificial intelligence by showcasing the potential for utilizing analog hardware with ECRAM devices to maximize computational performance. The limitations of existing digital hardware have spurred interest in exploring alternative solutions tailored specifically for AI computation. Analog
The U.S. West relies heavily on large infrastructure projects known as interbasin water transfers to transport water across vast geographical areas. A recent study published in Nature Water highlighted the significant impact of two major projects, the Central Arizona Project and the State Water Project in California, which collectively contribute to 85% of energy-related greenhouse
Dementia is a debilitating condition affecting millions of individuals worldwide. It is characterized by progressive memory loss, cognitive decline, and a loss of independence. Recent studies have suggested that a significant number of dementia cases could potentially be prevented by addressing various risk factors. However, experts caution that while risk reduction measures are crucial, they
Artificial intelligence has long been met with skepticism when it comes to storytelling and filmmaking, but recent studies have shown that AI has a significant impact on the field of science. A study conducted by the University of Cambridge in the UK has revealed that AI algorithms have the ability to outperform clinical tests in
