The amount of surface oxygen in graphene materials is a key factor in how effective they could be in killing bacteria—a discovery which may help to design safer and more effective products to combat antimicrobial resistance.
Researchers in South Africa are feeling the effects of the country's continuing power cuts and fear for the impact the electricity crisis is having on their research output.
Smart electronic soil sensors could enable farmers to deliver tailored doses of water to their crops, maximizing food production while saving water. KAUST researchers have developed a rapid and sensitive soil moisture sensor, ...
In the study of human impact on the environment, there are few negative or stabilizing feedbacks on climate change.
A study led by researchers at the Agroecosystem Sustainability Center (ASC) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign provides new insights for quantifying cropland carbon budgets and soil carbon credits, two important ...
More than 60% of the launches in 2020 resulted in one or more rocket parts making an uncontrolled reentry into the atmosphere. While thankfully no one was hurt by that debris, with the expected rise in rocket launches over ...
In a recent study, a collaborative team of researchers discuss the potential for future lunar settlers to establish a backup data storage system of human activity in the event of a global catastrophe on Earth that could be ...
Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles play important roles in the prediction of climate change and ecosystem sustainability in the dryland. Climate change has threatened the nutrient balance of dryland ecosystems; however, its ...
Russian foreign policy-making is often guided by elites, intermediaries, private companies, and organized crime groups rather than the national interest, a new study shows.
A new, multi-node FLEET review, published in Matter, investigates the search for Majorana fermions in iron-based superconductors.
