| Posted: 19 Jul 2021 12:35 PM PDT New research has found marine seismic surveys used in oil and gas exploration are not impacting the abundance or behaviour of commercially valuable fishes in the tropical shelf environment in north-western Australia. |
| A new, inexpensive way to heal chronic wounds Posted: 19 Jul 2021 12:35 PM PDT Scientists are developing a low-cost, practical biopolymer dressing that helps heal chronic wounds. |
| Robotic neck brace can help analyze cancer treatment impacts Posted: 19 Jul 2021 11:34 AM PDT A new robotic neck brace may help doctors analyze the impact of cancer treatments on the neck mobility of patients and may help guide their recovery. |
| Making clean hydrogen is hard, but researchers just solved a major hurdle Posted: 19 Jul 2021 11:34 AM PDT Researchers have found a low-cost way to solve one half of the water-splitting equation to produce hydrogen as clean energy -- using sunlight to efficiently split off oxygen molecules from water. The finding represents a step forward toward greater adoption of hydrogen as a key part of our energy infrastructure. |
| Renewable energy OK, but not too close to home Posted: 19 Jul 2021 09:03 AM PDT When it comes to transitioning from carbon-based to renewable source energy systems, Americans are on board. They're less keen, however, having these new energy infrastructures built close to their homes. |
| Scientists on the scent of flavor enhancement Posted: 19 Jul 2021 09:03 AM PDT With hopes to capitalize on the smell factor in flavor development, researchers are exploring how the route an aroma takes to get to the olfactory system, through the nose or the back of the throat, influences our response to the scent in question. |
| New material could mean lightweight armor, protective coatings Posted: 19 Jul 2021 09:03 AM PDT Research has identified a new material that may lead to lightweight armor, protective coatings, blast shields and other impact-resistant structures. |
| New metric for designing safer streets Posted: 19 Jul 2021 09:02 AM PDT A new study shows how biometric data can be used to find potentially challenging and dangerous areas of urban infrastructure. By analyzing eye-tracking data from cyclists navigating Philadelphia's streets, researchers found that these individual-based metrics can provide a more proactive approach for designing safer roadways for bicyclists and pedestrians. |
| Novel techniques extract more accurate data from images degraded by environmental factors Posted: 19 Jul 2021 08:05 AM PDT A team of researchers has developed novel approaches using computer vision and deep learning to resolve the problem of low-level vision in videos caused by rain and night-time conditions, as well as improve the accuracy of 3D human pose estimation in videos. |
| Scientists adopt deep learning for multi-object tracking Posted: 19 Jul 2021 08:05 AM PDT Researchers have adapted deep learning techniques in a multi-object tracking framework, overcoming short-term occlusion and achieving remarkable performance without sacrificing computational speed. |
| At last: Separated and freshly bound Posted: 19 Jul 2021 08:05 AM PDT The carbon-hydrogen bonds in alkanes -- particularly those at the ends of the molecules, where each carbon has three hydrogen atoms bound to it -- are very hard to 'crack' if you want to replace the hydrogen atoms with other atoms. Methane (CH(4)) and ethane (CH(3)CH(3)) are made up, exclusively, of such tightly bound hydrogen atoms. A team of researchers has now described how they break these bonds while forming new carbon-nitrogen bonds (amidation). |
| The mathematics of repulsion for new graphene catalysts Posted: 19 Jul 2021 07:31 AM PDT Scientists at Tohoku University and colleagues in Japan have developed a mathematical model that helps predict the tiny changes in carbon-based materials that could yield interesting properties. |
| Unsustainable Arctic shipping risks accelerating damage to the Arctic environment Posted: 19 Jul 2021 07:30 AM PDT The economic and environmental pros and cons of melting Arctic ice creating shorter shipping routes through the polar region are weighed up in ground-breaking research from experts in energy and transport. They conclude that policy makers must properly assess the environmental trade-offs and costs in addition to the commercial benefits and opportunities in Arctic shipping. The authors also want to see more incentives to drive technological developments that will accelerate the uptake of green fuels and technologies. |
| Deconstructing the infectious machinery of SARS-CoV-2 Posted: 19 Jul 2021 07:30 AM PDT Scientists have published a comprehensive study that -- alongside other recent, complementary studies of coronavirus proteins and genetics -- represents the first step toward developing treatments for COVID-19. |
