Land management for economic as well as environmental benefits in China

Expanding monoculture threatens valuable services from land, such as flood control, water purification and climate stabilization. A new approach promises to protect these benefits, while improving biodiversity and human livelihoods in rural areas around the world. A new strategy being rolled out in China suggests that farmers can do much more than harvest crops. The

It is rocket science: A new rocket fuel that is cleaner, safer and just as effective

Research published this week in Science Advances shows that it may be possible to create rocket fuel that is much cleaner and safer than the hypergolic fuels that are commonly used today. And still just as effective. The new fuels use simple chemical “triggers” to unlock the energy of one of the hottest new materials,

CHIME telescope detects second repeating fast radio burst every recorded

Detections of FRBs at low frequencies also provide a new clue to the astrophysical puzzle A Canadian-led team of scientists has found the second repeating fast radio burst (FRB) ever recorded. FRBs are short bursts of radio waves coming from far outside our Milky Way galaxy. Scientists believe FRBs emanate from powerful astrophysical phenomena billions

Ocean acidification caused by high levels of human-made CO2 is dissolving the seafloor

Alterations to seabed raise fears for future The ocean floor as we know it is dissolving rapidly as a result of human activity. Normally the deep sea bottom is a chalky white. It’s composed, to a large extent, of the mineral calcite (CaCO3) formed from the skeletons and shells of many planktonic organisms and corals.

A novel non-toxic to humans treatment against Alzheimer’s Disease could be brought quickly to trials

Research conducted at the Lady Davis Institute provides proof of concept that an existing drug holds promise for reversing loss of memory and brain lesions associated with Alzheimer disease. New research conducted at the Lady Davis Institute (LDI) at the Jewish General Hospital reveals that a novel drug reverses memory deficits and stops Alzheimer disease

Could the secret to longevity be in the microbiome and the gut?

Experiments in fruit flies show increased lifespan thanks to a combination of probiotics and an herbal supplement You are what you eat. Or so the saying goes. Science now tells us that we are what the bacteria living in our intestinal tract eat and this could have an influence on how well we age. Building

New highly efficient artificial photosynthesis device can generate hydrogen and could turn CO2 into fuel

A new, stable artificial photosynthesis device doubles the efficiency of harnessing sunlight to break apart both fresh and salt water, generating hydrogen that can then be used in fuel cells. The device could also be reconfigured to turn carbon dioxide back into fuel. Hydrogen is the cleanest-burning fuel, with water as its only emission. But

Flexible liquid crystal devices using highly functional organic materials

Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and McGill University have developed a new dye-free photoalignment method that enables 2D patterns of liquid crystals in one step by guiding nonpolarized light temporally and spatially on the photopolymerization process. This new method provides a pathway for the simple creation of highly functional organic materials such
