What makes tidying up especially challenging is that the debris exists in space. Suction cups don’t work in a vacuum. Traditional sticky substances, like tape, are largely useless because the

More summer sunshine leading to increased Greenland ice melt
The new findings, published in Science Advances, show that less cloud cover and more summer sunshine allows increased solar radiation to reach the surface providing more energy for melting. Using
‘Bulges’ in volcanoes could be used to predict eruptions
Using a technique called ‘seismic noise interferometry’ combined with geophysical measurements, the researchers measured the energy moving through a volcano. They found that there is a good correlation between the
Tackling iron, zinc deficiencies with ‘better’ bread
Anemia affects more than 30 percent of the world’s population, and many cases are due to iron deficiency, according to the World Health Organization. Many of the same people are
Ruthenium rules for new fuel cells
Catalysts that drive the oxygen reduction reaction that lets fuel cells turn chemical energy into electricity are usually made of platinum, which stands up to the acidic nature of the
Socioeconomic status in childhood linked with cardiac structure and function in adulthood
Socioeconomic differences in cardiovascular diseases are a health risk that has not been prevented to this day. Previous studies have shown that lower socioeconomic status increases the risk of sudden
Image analysis and artificial intelligence will change dairy farming
Hoof health is an important aspect of proper dairy cattle care. Injuries and illnesses of hooves, called ‘lameness’, if left untreated, will lead not only to declining quantity and quality
Microneedle patch developed for flu vaccination
“This bandage-strip sized patch of painless and dissolvable needles can transform how we get vaccinated,” said Roderic I. Pettigrew, Ph.D., M.D., director of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and
New photoacoustic technique detects gases at parts-per-quadrillion level
“In many ways, the photoacoustic effect is already the most practical method available for detecting pollutants in the atmosphere,” said Gerald Diebold, a professor of chemistry at Brown University and
Bioplastic derived from soya protein which can absorb up to forty times its own weight
This new product, which is organic and biodegradable, is environmentally friendly. For that reason, the experts are exploring its use in the area of horticulture, specifically as a raw material
The dust storm microbiome
Some of these bacteria might be pathogenic — harmful to us or the environment — and a few of them also carry genes for antibiotic resistance. Others may induce ecosystem
Safeguarding sustainability through forest certification mapping
To address the lack of openly accessible data on forest certification on a sub-national level, the global map shows certified forest areas at 1 kilometer resolution — far more detailed
New knowledge about the dynamics of proteins can shape the future in drug development
Proteins are usually considered to have a stable three-dimensional structure with a well-defined folding of the peptide chain. However, the peptide chain seems to undergo small or large movements that
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy under real ambient pressure conditions
Conventional photoelectron spectroscopy can only measure samples under high vacuum, while many catalytic reactions occur under atmospheric pressure. The discrepancy between the findings obtained by experiments under high vacuum and
Yoga more risky for causing musculoskeletal pain than you might think
Published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, the findings come from the first prospective study to investigate injuries caused from recreational participation in yoga. Yoga is an increasingly
