Archaeological Research Demonstrates that Humans can Boost Biodiversity Cultural variety is anticipated to have a net positive influence on environmental biodiversity. The homogeneity of human life forms may thus be viewed as a…
New UV Broadband Spectrometer Transforms Air Pollutant Analysis A research team has created a broadband UV dual-comb spectrometer that can continuously assess air contaminants and analyze their interactions with the environment in real-time.…
Atmospheric Circulation Atmospheric circulation refers to the large-scale flow of air across the Earth caused by temperature and pressure variations. It is the large-scale movement of air…
Butterfly Valve A butterfly valve is a valve that isolates or controls the flow of fluid. The closing mechanism consists of a rotating disk. It is a…
Laser-treated Cork Absorbs Oil in a Carbon-neutral Ocean Cleaning Researchers employ laser treatments to make common cork into an effective tool for repairing oil spills. They experimented with different fast-pulsing laser treatments, closely examining…
Lighthouse in the Gobi Desert A new study published in the journal PLOS ONE investigates the weight of significant fossil sites on our knowledge of evolutionary links between fossil groups,…
Global Air Pollution is driven by Atmospheric and Economic Factors Carbon monoxide emissions from industrial activity are harmful to human health and a reliable measure of overall air pollution levels. Many countries want to minimize…
Electromagnetic Forming (EMF) Electromagnetic forming (EMF) is a high-velocity, cold-forming method for electrically conductive metals, most notably copper and aluminum. It is a high-speed forming method that uses…
Magnetic Bearing A magnetic bearing is a type of bearing that sustains a load by magnetic levitation. Magnetic bearings provide mechanical support for moving parts without requiring…
Retention Ponds can Substantially Reduce Tire Particle Pollution New research has found that the presence of wetlands and retention ponds alongside major highways resulted in an average reduction of nearly 75% in the…
Asian Monsoon Transports Ozone-depleting Chemicals to the Stratosphere New research demonstrates that powerful monsoon winds, aided by a warming climate, are propelling unusually large amounts of ozone-depleting compounds high into the atmosphere over…
Forward Converter A forward converter is a sort of switching power supply circuit that converts a DC input voltage into a higher or lower DC output voltage.…
