I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#How sour beer gets so… sour” Beer samples (right) were collected every 2-3 weeks to track changing concentrations of organic acids and trace components during aging in barrels (left). Credit: Bryan Doty/Sour Cellars Sour beer, the tart and tangy outcome of a brewing process that’s been used in Europe for centuries, has recently surged in…
“#Converting solar energy to hydrogen fuel, with help from photosynthesis” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Global economic growth comes with increasing demand for energy, but stepping up energy production can be challenging. Recently, scientists have achieved record efficiency for solar-to-fuel conversion, and now they want to incorporate the machinery of photosynthesis to push it further. The…
“#Versatile new material family could build realistic prosthetics, futuristic army platforms” Researchers have developed a new family of polymers that can self-heal, have shape memory and are recyclable.

“#Practical solution for preventing corrosive buildup in nuclear systems” Researchers have devised a practical solution for preventing corrosive buildup in nuclear systems. Image shows specimens of a standard reactor zirconium alloy with and without our CRUD-resistant coating. The uncoated specimens at left are covered with CRUD in our flowing reactor experiment, while the two coated…
“#The molecular deflection of light radiation by means of diamantane” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain An international team led by the chemist Heinz Langhals of Ludwig-Maximilians Universitaet (LMU) in Munich has succeeded in the molecular deflection of light radiation by means of diamantane. Novel applications such as efficient light collectors or broadband light absorbers are promising….
“#Forensic research proves that textile fibres can be transferred between clothing in the absence of contact” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Breakthrough forensic research at Northumbria University, Newcastle, has revealed for the first time that textile fibers can, under certain circumstances, be transferred between clothing in the absence of contact. This new forensic discovery has not…
“#Uranium reveals its true nature” Credit: EPFL/EML Most people are familiar with uranium as a fuel for nuclear power plants. And while that’s the most common application, this element is also used in many other fields, such as dyes, medical devices, and weapons. Scientists at EPFL’s Environmental Microbiology Laboratory (EML) have recently made an important…
