Study shows highlighting others' achievements on LinkedIn sparks the most engagement
If you're trying to stand out on LinkedIn, it might seem like posting about your own achievements is a smart approach. But new research from The University of T...
The Bayeux Tapestry tells only the winner's story—but the other side can be found in old English texts
As the Bayeux Tapestry comes to London, the year 1066 and the Norman Conquest are in the spotlight. The tapestry—an embroidered cloth nearly 70 meters long, cre...
Blue and fin whale sightings on the rise in the Southeast Atlantic
More than 40 years after the end of commercial whaling, new research reveals a recent increase in sightings of the world's two largest whale species in the sout...
Imaging ellipsometry tracks MXene thin-film quality during fabrication without damage
A German–Israeli research team led by Dr. Andreas Furchner has demonstrated how imaging ellipsometry enables non-destructive characterization and quality contro...
Understanding the mechanisms of collective cell movement
Like schools of fish and flocks of birds, our cells can also migrate collectively in coordination with their neighbors. This harmonious movement of cells occurs...
Just outside Jupiter, one region may have forged six meteorite parent bodies
When the solar system formed, a disk of gas and dust orbited the young sun. Over the course of millions of years, the dust gradually clumped together to form ki...
We're 'green chemists'—why we think this emerging science can transform the way the world uses its resources
Society depends on chemistry far more than we consciously realize, from medicines to energy to electronics. However, chemistry is viewed with as much apprehensi...
Why we live alone—and what it means for the climate and our sense of community
Solo living in your own home places a greater strain on the planet's resources than living with others, as everyone needs their own appliances—a toaster, a wash...
Making biomolecules glow: New dye solves imaging interference problem
Biomolecules, also known as organic molecules, include sugars, proteins and lipids and are the building blocks of all life. They play a role in the structure an...
Novel porous gel changes color, shrinks and hardens when it detects target molecules
Researchers at Kyoto University and Tohoku University have developed a new porous polymer gel that selectively recognizes specific molecules (referred to as "gu...
Nickelate reveals nodeless gap, providing key clue to high-temperature superconductivity
The mechanism of high-temperature (TC) superconductivity is a key challenge in condensed matter physics. Recently, Chinese scientists made significant progress...
Some technologies use accelerated natural processes to capture carbon, but can they store it durably?
Natural geological processes have been regulating Earth's climate for millions of years. Accelerated versions of these processes are now being promoted as techn...
