The CMS collaboration at CERN has observed an unexpected feature in data produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which could point to the existence of the smallest composite particle yet observed. The result, reported ...
Human activity has already warmed the planet by more than one degree Celsius, fueling forest fires, exacerbating floods, super-powering storms and increasing the frequency of deadly heat waves.
Companies are increasingly making claims of sustainable production part of their public communications. However, the related ratings and seals of approval tend to focus primarily on CO₂ emissions and energy consumption—while ...
Proton transfer in aqueous systems is a fundamental process occurring constantly around us. It involves a molecule losing a proton, which then associates with another molecule. Given its significance in fields such as electrochemistry, ...
Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) and at Florida International University report in the journal Science their insights on the emerging field of complex frequency excitations, ...
As the planet gets hotter and freshwater sources dry up, cities and towns will not be able to continue the global norm of using millions of liters of clean, drinkable water to flush toilets. South Africa's Water Research ...
"It's always frustrated me that we can't compost here—even though I get why. Tower blocks just aren't built for it," said Alexandra, a 42-year-old Tower Hamlets resident, living on the ninth floor. She gestures toward the ...
In the battle against climate change, the role of chemistry and the chemical industry is often overlooked. As India accelerates its industrial growth, it must embrace sustainable biomanufacturing and green chemistry not just ...
Controlling magnetism in a device is not easy; unusually large magnetic fields or lots of electricity are needed, which are bulky, slow, expensive and/or waste energy. But that looks soon to change, thanks to the recent discovery ...
A genetic mutation in horses that would typically halt protein production has become a molecular asset. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Vanderbilt University have identified a rare instance of genetic recoding ...
