Researchers isolated the signal of ocean global warming by analyzing historical temperature records. Volcanic loading in Hawaii triggered earthquakes with divergent mechanisms. Climate scientists found anticorrelated precipitation patterns between China and Brazil, suggesting oceanic circulation triggers abrupt climate events.
Researchers found heavy negative ions in Titan's upper atmosphere, which may form complex molecules essential for life. The discovery poses questions about atmospheric chemistry and aerosol formation, suggesting that these ions form in the upper atmosphere before reaching the surface.
Stevens researchers discover charge-directed heterolytic fragmentation mechanism in ortho-hydroxybenzaldehyde, while meta- and para-isomers undergo charge-remote homolytic cleavage. This study provides new insights into mass spectrometry.
A new approach to locating and removing water contaminants such as perchlorate and nitrates has been discovered. Researchers found that anion-pi interaction, a type of molecular binding, occurs off-center in solid-state structures, which could lead to the development of sensors for anion detection.
Researchers discover that iron exposure causes a distinct metallic smell in humans, linked to skin oil and blood decomposition. The key compound responsible for this 'metallic' odor is identified as 1-octen-2-one, produced when oils on skin are oxidized by certain enzymes.
Liu's research focuses on hydrophilic macro-ionic solutions, which form single-layer, hollow, spherical structures called 'blackberries.' These structures have unique properties and potential applications in biomedical materials.
Scientists developed a high-pressure photoelectron spectroscopy system to study chemical underpinnings of everyday catalytic, biological, and ecological phenomena. They found that negatively charged ions concentrate at the surface of salt grains as they dissolve in water.
Scott Oliver has been awarded a $500,000 NSF career grant to develop a new class of cationic microporous inorganic materials with unprecedented potential applications. These materials can trap anionic pollutants and are stable under high temperatures or acidic/basic conditions.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins discovered a compound that doubles the hearts' ability to contract and relax, stimulating the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide. This improvement is particularly notable in failing hearts, without any reported toxicity.
