Virtual future selves improve students' planning and motivation, with gains seen after six months
Future-oriented thinking is a cornerstone of healthy decision-making, academic success and mental well-being. Yet many people struggle to act in ways that benefit their future selves, often prioritizing immediate reward…
New iron–scandium catalyst extends carbon nanotube growth at high temperatures
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are among the most promising nanomaterials for future technologies because of their exceptional mechanical strength, electrical conductivity and thermal performance. However, translating these re…
Silver nanoparticles pave the way for precise DNA cutting and joining
DNA is composed of long chains that act as the blueprint for living organisms. In genetic engineering, scientists cut DNA at specific sites and join the resulting fragments to other DNA sequences, enabling applications …
A compact, multifrequency radar built by a team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory will make it easier to collect information about dynamic cloud systems. Cal…
Global rice production nearly doubled between the 1960s and the 2010s, despite the negative impacts of climate change, according to a new study from the Univer…
Can networks of genes be stimulated using resonance? Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute are investigating whether the protein p53, which activates a range…
On a quiet weekend morning in a greenhouse in Aarhus University Flakkebjerg, rows of wheat plants stand with their roots submerged in clear water. There is no …
Researchers have discovered a "megasite" of dead whales along with new species of marine life feasting on the corpses.
The moon may look unchanged from afar, but its surface is constantly reshaped by microscopic impacts and a steady stream of particles from the sun, a process k…
When comparing different types of antifouling paints against fouling on leisure boats, the results were the opposite of what many would expect. Of the paints t…
Sunlight, water, air and metal-organic catalysts—that could be all it takes. TU Wien has shown how catalyst design can be advanced for solar-driven NH3 synthes…
For almost a century, researchers have known that vertical land motion—the lifting and sinking of the ground—affects sea level locally. As the ground sinks, th…
Researchers at the Center for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) have developed a new system that combines spore trapping with advanced DNA sequencing to confi…
