Anemic galaxy reveals deficiencies in ultra-diffuse galaxy formation theory

A team of astronomers have discovered a bizarre, solitary ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG). This transparent, ghost-like galaxy, named DGSAT I, contradicts the current theory on the formation of UDGs. All previously studied UDGs have been in galaxy clusters. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190227111123.htm

Directed evolution builds nanoparticles

Directed evolution is a powerful technique for engineering proteins. Scientists now show that it can also be used to engineer synthetic nanoparticles as optical biosensors, which are used widely in biology, drug development, and even medical diagnostics such as real-time monitoring of glucose. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190227111146.htm

Detecting cyanide exposure

Cyanide exposure can happen occupationally or in low levels from inhaling cigarette smoke -- or from being poisoned by someone out to get you. The effects are fast and can be deadly. But because cyanide is metabolized quickly, it can be difficult to detect in time for an antidote to be administered. Now researchers report a new precise and accurate biomarker of cyanide exposure. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190227111144.htm

Now you see heat, now you don't

Hiding an object from heat-sensing cameras could be useful for military and technology applications as well as for research. Efforts to develop such a method have been underway for decades with varying degrees of success. Now, researchers report that they have fabricated an inexpensive, easy-to-produce film that makes objects completely invisible to infrared detectors. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190227111140.htm

Climate rewind: Scientists turn carbon dioxide back into coal

Scientists have harnessed liquid metals to turn carbon dioxide back into solid coal, in research that offers an alternative pathway for safely and permanently removing the greenhouse gas from our atmosphere. The new technique can convert CO2 back into carbon at room temperature, a process that's efficient and scalable. A side benefit is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a supercapacitor, so it could potentially be used as a component in future vehicles. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190226112429.htm

'Immunizing' quantum bits so that they can grow up

Qubits need a better immune system before they can grow up. A new material, engineered into a thin strip, is one step closer to 'immunizing' qubits against noise, such as heat and other parts of a computer, that interferes with how well they hold information. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190226155014.htm

How power-to-gas technology can be green and profitable

Hydrogen production based on wind power can already be commercially viable today. Until now, it was generally assumed that this environmentally friendly power-to-gas technology could not be implemented profitably. Economists have now described, based on the market situations in Germany and Texas, how flexible production facilities could make this technology a key component in the transition of the energy system. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190226112315.htm
