Researchers tap rare pristine air to reveal pollution's impact

Human-caused pollution spurs the production of climate-changing particles known as secondary organic aerosols much more than previously thought. Researchers made the finding by analyzing air samples that were captured aboard a research aircraft as it zigzagged between pristine air over the Amazon rainforest and polluted air over the nearby city of Manaus. It was like a trip back (and forth) through time, as scientists weaved between the two vastly different settings. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190402113045.htm

Dark matter is not made up of tiny black holes

An international team of researchers has put a theory speculated by the late Stephen Hawking to its most rigorous test to date, and their results have ruled out the possibility that primordial black holes smaller than a tenth of a millimeter make up most of dark matter. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190402113042.htm

Artificial intelligence enables recognizing and assessing a violinist's bow movements

In playing music, gestures are extremely important, in part because they are directly related to the sound and the expressiveness of the musicians. Today, technology exists that captures movement and is capable of detecting gestural details very precisely. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190402113019.htm

Harnessing photonics for at-home disease detection

With nothing more than a photonic chip and an ordinary camera, researchers have managed to count biomolecules one by one in a small sample and determine their position. Their tiny device -- a marriage of optics and smart image analysis -- is even able to detect a graphene sheet only a single atom thick. This type of sensor could one day play a key role in personalized medicine. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190402113017.htm

New alternatives may ease demand for scarce rare-earth permanent magnets

From computer hard discs to smart phones, magnets are at the forefront of technology. Magnets containing rare-earth elements are among the most powerful available, but these elements can be difficult to obtain. Now, scientists have identified magnets based on more readily obtainable rare earths, as well as some promising magnets that don't contain these materials at all. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190402081606.htm

Hands spread flame retardants, plasticizers throughout homes

Hundreds of everyday items, from furniture to cell phones to floor wax, contain organophosphate ester (OPE) flame retardants and plasticizers. Some of these compounds make their way into the air, onto surfaces and even inside our bodies, with uncertain health effects. Today, researchers report that hands play a central role in transferring OPEs throughout the indoor environment. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190402081603.htm

Muscle-like material expands and contracts in response to light

The Transpolar Drift is faltering: Sea ice is now melting before it can leave the nursery

The dramatic loss of ice in the Arctic is influencing sea-ice transport across the Arctic Ocean. Today only 20 percent of the sea ice that forms in the shallow Russian marginal seas of the Arctic Ocean actually reaches the Central Arctic, where it joins the Transpolar Drift; the remaining 80 percent of the young ice melts before it has a chance to leave its 'nursery.' from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190402081557.htm
