| Hidden order in windswept sand Posted: 11 Jan 2022 07:00 AM PST Researchers have analyzed an extensive collection of sand samples from so-called megaripple fields around the world and gained new insights into the composition of these sand waves. These could help settle debates about the mechanistic origin of some recently discovered enigmatic extraterrestrial sand structures and improve our ability to infer information about past weather and climate events from sediment records. |
| Water scarcity may spur improvements at manufacturing facilities Posted: 10 Jan 2022 08:41 AM PST As climate change continues and the incidences of drought rise, water is increasingly becoming scarce for manufacturing. But a new study suggests that there is a silver lining -- companies that use water may pivot to become efficient and more eco-friendly during periods of water scarcity. |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2022 07:33 AM PST Prompted by the increasing prominence of artificial intelligence (AI) in society, researchers investigated public attitudes toward the ethics of AI. Their findings quantify how different demographics and ethical scenarios affect these attitudes. As part of this study, the team developed an octagonal visual metric, analogous to a rating system, which could be useful to AI researchers who wish to know how their work may be perceived by the public. |
| New color-coded test quickly reveals if medical nanoparticles deliver their payload Posted: 05 Jan 2022 12:13 PM PST Researchers have developed a color-coded test that quickly signals whether newly developed nanoparticles -- ultra small compartments designed to ferry medicines, vaccines and other therapies -- deliver their cargo into target cells. The new testing tool could advance the search for next-generation biological medicines. The technology builds upon nanoparticles currently used against cancer and eye disease, and in vaccines for viruses including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. |
