Technology used by World War I aviation aces inspires discovery of new mobile operations
Abstract. Credit: Nano Letters (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.4c04174 Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst took inspiration from the synchronization of machine guns and propellers on World War I fighter planes to manipulate cell behavior by precisely adjusting the pH of the cell environment in real time. We have designed a new technology to As described in Nano Letters, their findings…

Improved monitoring of mine remediation: selenium isotopes are a good indicator of cleanup operations
Credit: Canadian Light Source A new testing technique developed using synchrotron light could significantly improve the way we monitor the effectiveness of remediation practices to remove selenium contamination from mining activities. Selenium is a naturally occurring nutrient that humans and animals need in small amounts to maintain good health. However, exposure to higher concentrations can cause neurological problems in humans…
