Carbon capture using biomass offers new hope in reducing emissions
A renewable, carbon-based absorbent is challenging MOFs in carbon capture technology, offering sustainable solutions for emissions reduction.
Cosmic explosion is one of the most powerful and rapid blasts ever seen by astronomers
The rare but extreme blast that outshone most supernovas originated two billion light years away and has been classed as a “Luminous Fast Cooler”.
Spinning sound waves that move matter
Using a specialized design approach, scientists create acoustic waves that behave as twisted, ultrasonic motors capable of rotating particles in space.
Astronomers observe a galaxy’s magnetic field in the very early Universe
The galaxy 9io9 is seen as it was when the cosmos was just 2.5 billion years old, making this the earliest galactic magnetic field ever observed.
An engineered skin accelerates healing in severe and chronic wounds
An engineered skin with a new secret ingredient helps avoid harmful inflammation while speeding up the wound healing process.
Scientists observe the elusive demon particle for the first time
First predicted in 1956, scientists have stumbled upon a massless, neutral particle that does not interact with light, colloquially named the “demon particle”.
Radio emissions reveal unprecedented oscillations in black hole radiation
Previously unobserved frequency changes in radio signals detected in a black hole binary system could change our understanding of black hole physics.
How shape-shifting gratings and lenses are changing optical devices
Tuneable micro-structured surfaces could overcome the limitations of current unchangeable components that result in “static” optical devices.
