The Global Positioning System (GPS) is enabling geologists to study earthquakes in real time, revealing incremental motion and slow squeezing within plates that can lead to earthquakes. This technology is improving earthquake hazard studies by allowing for more accurate predictions of seismic activity.
Scientists have successfully demonstrated a technique to observe the dynamics of electrons as they move across the boundaries where metals and non-metals meet. The experiment showed that electrons can become delocalized, free to roam, before becoming localized and trapped in the interface.
Researchers at Rockefeller University are conducting a study to examine the potential of three plant-derived compounds - curcumin, rutin, and quercetin - to prevent colorectal cancer. The study aims to determine whether these compounds can safely inhibit the development of colon polyps and reduce cancer risk.
An international team of scientists conducted a study on air pollution in Mexico City's basin, where inversions trap pollutants and fine particles pose significant health risks. The study provides insights into particle concentrations, transport patterns, and implications for U.S. cities.
A new study by UC Davis researchers finds that few birds cleaned and released back into the wild after oil spills can survive more than one or two years. The study's findings may lead to improved techniques for removing oil from birds and handling and rehabilitating them.
