| Converting solar energy to electricity on demand Posted: 11 Apr 2022 07:13 AM PDT A new energy system that makes it possible to capture solar energy, store it for up to eighteen years and release it when and where it is needed has now taken the system a step further. After previously demonstrating how the energy can be extracted as heat, they have now succeeded in getting the system to produce electricity, by connecting it to a thermoelectric generator. |
| Study sheds new light on the origin of civilization Posted: 11 Apr 2022 07:12 AM PDT New research challenges the conventional theory that the transition from foraging to farming drove the development of complex, hierarchical societies by creating agricultural surplus in areas of fertile land. |
| Melting ice caps may not shut down ocean current Posted: 08 Apr 2022 02:53 PM PDT Most simulations of our climate's future may be overly sensitive to Arctic ice melt as a cause of abrupt changes in ocean circulation, according to new research. |
| Posted: 08 Apr 2022 07:31 AM PDT High-income nations are responsible for 74 percent of the global excess in resource extraction over the 1970-2017 period, driven primarily by the United States and the countries of the European Union. This is demonstrated in an international study, which determines national responsibility for ecological breakdown by calculating the extent to which each nation has overshot their fair share of sustainable resource use thresholds. |
| Want to be sustainable and cool? Choose fans more and AC less Posted: 08 Apr 2022 05:38 AM PDT A new study has found using indoor fans more often allows people to reduce their air conditioner use without changing how hot they feel, paving a way for reducing future energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. |
| First European farmers' heights did not meet expectations Posted: 07 Apr 2022 02:09 PM PDT A combined study of genetics and skeletal remains show that the switch from primarily hunting, gathering and foraging to farming about 12,000 years ago in Europe may have had negative health effects as indicated by shorter than expected heights in the earliest farmers, according to an international team of researchers. |
| Wastewater provides a planet-wide laboratory for the study of human health Posted: 06 Apr 2022 10:24 AM PDT New research highlights a technique known as Wastewater-based Epidemiology (WBE), in which samples of municipal wastewater can be used as a diagnostic tool to explore a surprisingly broad range of community-wide health indices. |
| Posted: 06 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT Researchers are investigating the psychological impact of social isolation in harsh environments, such as on the Moon. |
| New approach better predicts air pollution models’ performance in health studies Posted: 06 Apr 2022 06:52 AM PDT A biostatistician seeks to close the gap between novel air pollution prediction models and health studies. |
| Novel framework for classifying chaos and thermalization Posted: 05 Apr 2022 09:39 AM PDT The observation of new chaoticity-related time and length scales explains the breakdown of thermalization. |
