CNN — The largest whales in the world are more than just amazing creatures. Like the ocean, soil and forests, whales can help save humanity from the accelerating climate crisis by sequestering and storing carbon emissions that are warming the planet, researchers say. In a paper published Thursday in the journal Trends in Ecology & …
Diagram of the spirulina production system and biomass flow. Credit: marine biotechnology (2022). DOI: 10.1007/s10126-022-10173-5 A new study led by Dr. Asaf Tzachor, in collaboration with an international team of scientists, analyzed a state-of-the-art biotechnology system that cultivates spirulina. The system, designed and operated by Vaxa Impact Nutrition, is placed in the ON Power Geothermal …
Schematic of a generic superconducting nanowire single photon detector. The leads in this study were made entirely of tungsten silicide, with no gold contacts. Credit: S. Kelley/NIST For decades, astronomers and physicists have tried to solve one of the deepest mysteries of the cosmos: around 85% of its mass is missing. Many astronomical observations indicate …
