Do volcanoes or an asteroid deserve blame for dinosaur extinction?

Scientists have obtained more precise dates for the Deccan Traps volcanic lava flows, linking peak activity more closely to the asteroid or comet impact 66 million years ago and the coincident mass extinction. But if greenhouse gases emitted before the impact created a hothouse climate that set life up for a fall when the impact cooled the planet, those gases did not coincide with the largest lava flows from the Deccan Traps. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221141511.htm

Yeasts reach across tree of life to domesticate suite of bacterial genes

New research finds that some yeast picked up a whole suite of genes from bacteria that gave them the new ability to scavenge iron from their environment. It's one of the clearest examples yet of the transfer of genes from one branch on the tree of life to another. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221141459.htm

'Goldilocks' thinking to cut cost of fuel cells in electric vehicles

Electric vehicles running on fuel cells tout zero emissions and higher efficiency, but expensive platinum is holding them back from entering a larger market. A new method increases fuel cell electrode activity at least tenfold, using 90 percent less metal. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221141337.htm

Getting to the bottom of fairy circles

Fairy circles are round gaps in arid grassland that are distributed very uniformly over the landscape and only occur along the Namib Desert in southern Africa and in parts of Australia. Scientists have got to the bottom of this with soil investigations and drones. The results suggest Australian fairy circles were caused by processes like the weathering of the soil by heavy rainfall, extreme heat and evaporation. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221122954.htm

With nanopore sensing, physics researchers detect subtle changes in single particles

Researchers have discovered that a technique known as nanopore sensing can be used to detect subtle changes in clusters, or extremely small chunks of matter that are bigger than a molecule but smaller than a solid. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221151506.htm

Sustainable, solar-driven chemical manufacturing

A team of researchers is working to upend energy-intensive, fossil fuel-dependent chemical manufacturing processes and replace them with sustainable, solar-driven reactions that rely on renewable feedstocks. The team recently designed a novel reactor that uses solar energy and plant waste to sustainably produce adiponitrile, an precursor material used in Nylon production. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221145636.htm

Electric car batteries inspire safer, cheaper way to make compounds used in medicines

Inspired by the refined electrochemistry of electric car batteries, scientists have developed a battery-like system that allows them to make potential advancements for the manufacturing of medicines. Their new method avoids safety risks associated with a type of chemical reaction known as dissolving metal reduction. Their method would offer significant advantages over current methods of chemical manufacturing, but until now, has largely been sidelined due to safety considerations. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221141501.htm

Expanding the use of silicon in batteries, by preventing electrodes from expanding

Silicon anodes are generally viewed as the next development in lithium-ion battery technology. Silicon's ability to absorb more charge translates to longer battery life and smaller batteries, if researchers can check the physical expansion of the silicon that comes with charging. Research suggests that adding MXene ink to the silicon electrode-making process would do just that. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221130302.htm

Equilibrium: When does one of the central ideas in economics work?

Many situations in economics are complicated and competitive. New research raises the question of whether many theories in economics may suffer from the very fundamental problem that the key behavioral assumption of equilibrium is wrong. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221122924.htm

New weapon to combat counterfeit goods: use your smartphone to check for fake merchandise

New iridium catalyst enables efficient selective synthesis of valuable drug ingredients

The researchers found that transient formation of hydrogen bonding between a substrate and the catalyst induced such high segregation in the reaction. By using inexpensive and readily available feedstock hydrocarbons, the researchers produced a group of chiral lactams in different shapes. Their diverse structures allow lactams to correspond to different pharmaceutical drugs. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190221110520.htm

Automated speed enforcement doesn't just reduce collisions -- it helps reduce crime
