Graphene Flagship’s Work Package for Energy Generation combined graphene and related materials to perovskite cells and reached record levels of performance and stability. The project resulted in the first graphene-perovskite solar farm. It was installed outdo…
Growing up in the Swiss Alps, Fritz Zwicky liked to throw rocks across rivers, and snowballs at church steeples. He just wanted to throw things higher and farther than anyone else.Decades later, Zwicky became the first person to throw something away from Eart…
Optical Illusion Visual Test: People with an eagle-eye view can spot the hidden Pyramids in the picture shared by NASA. Did you spot the Pyramids in 11 seconds?
Scientists from the Micro, Nano and Molecular Systems Lab at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research and the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials at Heidelberg ...
University of Alberta expert challenges popular claims about the “wood-wide web.” The idea that forest trees can “talk” to each other, share resources with their seedlings — and even protect them — through a connective underground web of delicate fungal filam…
A trio of Canadian and U.S. scientists is making the case that talk about tree communication – popularly dubbed the ‘wood wide web’ – has gotten too loose
<p>NASA has identified the site of an ancient lake on Mars, surrounded by mountains they say could have been home to extraterrestrial life forms. </p>
For all of the still-indistinguishable-from-magic wizardry packed into the three pounds of the adult human brain, it obeys the same rule as the other living tissue it controls: Oxygen is a must. So it was with a touch of irony that Evgeny Tsymbal offered his …
A recent study found that young firms should disperse marketing responsibility between different personnel groups in the early stages of their operations. These groups often have the ability to produce in-depth market information to support marketing in the e…

Scientists found that some reefs in the tropical Pacific Ocean could maintain high coral cover into the second half of this century by shuffling the symbiotic algae they host. The findings offer a ray of hope in an often-dire picture of the future of coral re…
Scientists have discovered a new wrinkle in our understanding of how our genes work. The team shed light on a longstanding puzzle involved in a common way our genes are modified that is known as RNA methylation.
Between 75,000 and 50,000 years ago, humans began to make their way across the megacontinent of Sahul, a landmass that connected what is now Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, and the Aru Islands.
Researchers chiral phonons to convert wasted heat into spin information -- without needing magnetic materials. The finding could lead to new classes of less expensive, energy-efficient spintronic devices for use in applications ranging from computational memo…
In some years, rice blast disease destroys more than one quarter of the harvest worldwide. But it's hard to fight with current methods. A UC Berkeley lab and their UK colleagues have discovered how the fungus breeches the tough skin of the rice leaf and deter…
