| Microbially produced fibers: Stronger than steel, tougher than Kevlar Posted: 20 Jul 2021 03:58 PM PDT A new fiber, made by genetically engineered bacteria is stronger than steel and tougher than Kevlar. |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 09:23 AM PDT To better understand how familiarity impacts social fishes, a group of research scientists studied this idea using schooling coral reef fish. |
| 15,000-year-old viruses discovered in Tibetan glacier ice Posted: 20 Jul 2021 09:05 AM PDT Scientists who study glacier ice have found viruses nearly 15,000 years old in two ice samples taken from the Tibetan Plateau in China. Most of those viruses, which survived because they had remained frozen, are unlike any viruses that have been cataloged to date. |
| Long-period oscillations of Sun discovered Posted: 20 Jul 2021 08:44 AM PDT A team of solar physicists has reported the discovery of global oscillations of the Sun with very long periods, comparable to the 27-day solar rotation period. The oscillations manifest themselves at the solar surface as swirling motions with speeds on the order of 5 kilometers per hour. |
| Ultrathin magnet operates at room temperature Posted: 20 Jul 2021 08:43 AM PDT Scientists have created an ultrathin magnet that operates at room temperature. The ultrathin magnet could lead to new applications in computing and electronics -- such as high-density, compact spintronic memory devices -- and new tools for the study of quantum physics. |
| Untrained beer drinkers can taste different barley genotypes Posted: 20 Jul 2021 08:43 AM PDT When it comes to craft beer, the flavor doesn't have to be all in the hops. As a panel of amateur beer tasters at Washington State University recently demonstrated, malted barley, the number one ingredient in beer besides water, can have a range of desirable flavors too. |
| The climate impact of wild pigs greater than a million cars, study finds Posted: 19 Jul 2021 12:35 PM PDT By uprooting carbon trapped in soil, wild pigs are releasing around 4.9 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide annually across the globe, the equivalent of 1.1 million cars, according to new research. |
