Research explores the cooling effects of 'scuba-diving' in lizards

Science Daily - 06/03/2024
Anoles are the scuba-diving champions of the lizard world, able to stay underwater for more than 16 minutes. For animals whose body temperature depends on the environment, time spent in a cool running stream can have some tradeoffs, according to new research.

Short-term exposure to high levels of air pollution kills 1 million globally every year

Science Daily - 06/03/2024
Every year, more than one million deaths globally occur because of exposure to short-term (hours to days) fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in air pollution, according to a new report, with Eastern Asia reporting more than 50% of deaths attributable to short-term PM2.5 globally.

Daily step count of 9,000 to 10,000 may counteract risk of death and cardiovascular disease in highly sedentary people

Science Daily - 06/03/2024

Tiny worms tolerate chornobyl radiation

Science Daily - 06/03/2024
A new study finds that exposure to chronic radiation from Chornobyl has not damaged the genomes of microscopic worms living there today -- which doesn't mean that the region is safe, the scientists caution, but suggests that these worms are exceptionally resilient.

Having self-control leads to power

Science Daily - 06/03/2024
Out-of-control behavior by CEOs and other powerful people constantly makes headlines -- so much so that some might consider impulsivity a pathway to power. New research finds that having self-control is often what leads to power.

Harmful 'forever chemicals' removed from water with new electrocatalysis method

Science Daily - 06/03/2024
Scientists have developed new electrochemical approaches to clean up pollution from 'forever chemicals' found in clothing, food packaging, firefighting foams, and a wide array of other products. A new study describes nanocatalysts developed to remediate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS.

For a healthy fruit snack, what would you choose?

Science Daily - 06/03/2024
Next time you're packing lunch for your kid or reaching for a healthy afternoon bite, consider this: only three types of packaged fruit snacks -- dried fruit, fruit puree and canned fruit with juice -- meet the latest recommendations for high-nutrition snacks set by federal dietary guidelines, according to food scientists.

Researchers explore non-invasive method for sampling drug response

Science Daily - 06/03/2024
Harnessing a pervasive type of cellular messenger shows early experimental promise as a routine way of sampling and monitoring the body's response to prescription drug exposure. Experiments have successfully isolated drug-metabolizing enzymes from extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are widely secreted throughout the body for cellular communication.

Evolving hydrogen-storage technology: Guidelines developed for the design of anti-evaporation catalysts

Science Daily - 06/03/2024
A research team has identified materials capable of catalyzing the conversion of ortho-hydrogen to para-hydrogen. These catalysts should be essential to the spread of mass-transportation/storage of liquid hydrogen.

A smart molecule beats the mutation behind most pancreatic cancer

Science Daily - 06/03/2024

Using light to precisely control single-molecule devices

Science Daily - 06/03/2024
Researchers flip the switch at the nanoscale by applying light to induce bonding for single-molecule device switching.

Lab-grown liver organoid to speed up turtle research, making useful traits easier to harness

Science Daily - 06/03/2024
Researchers developed protocols for growing organoids that mimic a turtle liver, the first organoids developed for a turtle and only the second for any reptile. The discovery will aid deeper study of turtle genetics, including the cause of traits with potential medical applications for humans such as the ability to survive weeks without oxygen.

New method measures the 3D position of individual atoms

Science Daily - 06/03/2024
Since more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision of smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter using a special type of microscope. However, this method has so far only provided the x and y coordinates. Information on the vertical position of the atom -- i.e., the distance between the atom and the microscope objective -- is lacking. A new method has now been developed that can determine all three spatial coordinates of an atom with one single image.
