“#How stimulus dollars are spent will affect emissions for decades” Key in determining post-pandemic emissions is how governments choose to spend stimulus monies–whether they use it to prop up fossil fuel incumbents or bolster clean energy transitions already underway. Credit: angkhan The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns have led to a record crash in emissions….
“#Bedrock type under forests greatly affects tree growth, species, carbon storage” The forest inventory plots in the Ridge and Valley physiographic province in Pennsylvanias used in this study are shown. Inventory plots were restricted to land owned and managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation of Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry and the Pennsylvania Game…
“#Government health, safety regulations backfire with conservatives, study shows” Health and safety risks from product consumption, including obesity, vaping, drug misuse and texting while driving, as well as circumstances surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, pose significant problems in the United States and around the world. Public policy makers often impose regulations in an attempt to steer…

“#Engineers find neat way to turn waste carbon dioxide into useful material” HR-TEM images for (a) ZnO-5, (b) ZnO-7 and (c) ZnO-9. Credit: Advanced Energy Materials (2020). DOI: 10.1002/aenm.202001381 Chemical engineers from UNSW Sydney have developed new technology that helps convert harmful carbon dioxide emissions into chemical building blocks to make useful industrial products like…
“#Passing challenging introductory chemistry course gives biggest boost to underrepresented students” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Studies have shown that students from certain backgrounds are less likely than their peers to complete an undergraduate degree in science, technology, engineering or mathematics—or STEM. These groups are low-income students, first-generation college students, female students and students from underrepresented…
“#Intracellular biopsy technique for fast microRNAs profiling in living cells” A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image shows the diamond nanoneedles penetrate the cell membrane. Credit: DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aba4971 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are gaining more attention in studies of human diseases such as cancer, because changes in miRNA expression are frequently associated with abnormal cellular functions. To achieve…
“#Molecular twist makes one catalyst useful for three hydrogen applications” By turning the red, blue, and green positions of one molecule like turning the steering wheel of a car, a single molecule developed by researchers in Japan can be turned into three types of catalysts for fuel cells, hydrogen production, or hydrogenation. The new insights…
“#Research team achieves massive sexual conversion of the malaria parasite in a dish” The technique will facilitate the design of new tools to block disease transmission Credit: Oriol Llorà Batlle/ISGlobal A research team at ISGlobal, an institution supported by the “la Caixa” Foundation, has developed a system to induce massive sexual conversion of the P….
