In mineral exploration projects, drill core logging and petrographic studies provide the first key pieces of information regarding ore mineralogy, gangue mineral associations, and potential ...

This interesting study adapts machine learning tools to analyze movements of a chromatin locus in living cells in response to serum starvation. The machine learning approach developed is useful, the ...

On the edge of California's Monterey Bay, ecologist Matthew Savoca and a team of volunteers sift through sand and seawater for microplastics, one of the planet's most pervasive forms of pollution.

Virtual particles exploit the natural fuzziness of the subatomic world, where if these ephemeral particles live briefly enough, they can also briefly borrow their energy from empty space. The haziness ...

Microplastics have become an invisible but persistent threat in rivers, lakes, oceans, and even in the water we drink. These tiny plastic fragments can drift for miles, settle on the seafloor, or ...

Developed by researchers at MIT, the method uses the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule to help probe ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

SRP hopes a huge flume on the Verde River watershed will help measure the flow of water more accurately. The flume will be able to melt ice in the winter, solving a problem SRP has dealt with when ...

Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) on Thursday told CNN anchor John Berman we "have way too many workers" in the federal workforce and would not oppose using a government shutdown to downsize. "Look, as far ...

The discovery could significantly reduce the production costs of fuels, chemicals, and materials. A research team from the Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and the University of ...
