[ad_1] Neutrinos are uncharged particles with a mass about one millionth of that of an electron that are created by the nuclear processes that take place in the Sun and other stars. These particles are often colorfully described as the “ghosts” of the particle zoo because they interact so weakly …

[ad_1] For Pacific Northwest salmon, returning to spawn in streams and creeks near urban areas can be a death sentence, thanks to a ubiquitous additive in vehicle tires, a new study reveals. The results show that 6PPD-quinone – a highly toxic oxidation product of tire rubber particles – transforms toxic …

[ad_1] Methane, the main component of natural gas, is the cleanest fuel of all fossil fuels, but when it is released into the atmosphere it is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. According to some estimates, the seafloor methane contained in ice formations along the continental fringes …

[ad_1] IMAGE: An image obtained by the system showing bar-coded bees inside the observation hive. The outlines reflect whether a barcode could be successfully decoded (green), could not be decrypted (red), or if it was … More Credits: Tim Gernat, University of Illinois Bees and humans are as diverse organisms …

[ad_1] Molecular cages, in which host molecules cling to the outer surfaces of the cages rather than entering an internal cavity, could reduce the environmental impact of separating blends of industrial chemicals, KAUST research suggests. Large-scale molecular separations performed by the chemical industry collectively account for up to 15% of …
