Turning (more) fat and sewage into natural gas Researchers have developed what is, to date, the most efficient means of converting sewage sludge and restaurant grease into natural gas. Study teases out factors associated with postpartum overdose A new study uncovers several risk factors associated with postpartum opioid overdose. No such thing as a low-risk surgery for frail patients Even a minor surgery such as a laparoscopic gallbladder removal can prove to be a high-risk and even fatal procedure for frail patients, according to new research. Theoretical tubulanes inspire ultrahard polymers Engineers print 3D blocks based on theoretical tubulanes and find they're nearly as hard as diamond. The smell of old books could help preserve them Old books give off a complex mélange of odors, ranging from pleasant (almonds, caramel and chocolate) to nasty (formaldehyde, old clothes and trash). Detecting early signs of paper degradation could help guide preservation efforts, but most techniques destroy the very paper historians want to save. Now, researchers have developed an electronic nose that can non-destructively sniff out odors emitted by books of different paper compositions, conditions and ages. Perovskite solar cells: Possible aspects of high efficiency uncovered A team has demonstrated that hybrid halide perovskites crystallize without an inversion center. Interactions between the organic molecules and adjacent iodine atoms can lead to the formation of ferroelectric domains, which, indirectly, can result in higher solar-cell efficiencies. The formation of these ferroelectric domains cannot occur in purely inorganic perovskites. Leukaemia cells can transform into non-cancerous cells through epigenetic changes Researchers have discovered that a leukemic cell is capable of transforming into a non-cancerous cell through epigenetic changes. Spot the difference: Two identical-looking bird species with very different genes While reports of species going extinct are sadly becoming common, an international team of scientists has identified a new species of bird living on the Southern coast of China, that diverged from their Northern relatives around half a million years ago. World's oldest glue used from prehistoric times till the days of the Gauls By studying artefacts that date back to the first 6 centuries AD through the lens of chemistry, archaeology, and textual analysis, researchers have discovered birch tar was being used right up to late antiquity, if not longer. The artefacts in question -- found in a region where birch is scarce, thus raising the question of how it was procured -- are testimony to the strength of tradition among the Gauls. Researchers capture moving object with ghost imaging Researchers have developed a way to capture moving objects with the unconventional imaging method known as ghost imaging. The new method could make the imaging technique practical for new applications such as biomedical imaging, security checks and video compression and storage. |
