Wristband samplers show similar chemical exposure across three continents

Researchers have deployed chemicals to individuals on three continents, they found that no two wristbands had identical chemical detections. But the same 14 chemicals were detected in more than 50 percent of the wristbands returned from the United States, Africa and South America. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190422131539.htm

From coal to gas: How the shift can help stabilize climate change

A transition from coal-based energy to cleaner-burning gas has long been viewed as a staple of many climate action plans, despite concerns over leakage and possible harmful emissions. A recent study finds that not only is such a shift central to meeting climate targets and stabilizing global temperature rise, but that the benefits of cleaner-burning gas outweigh its possible risks. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190422112759.htm

New technique produces longer-lasting lithium batteries

Researchers have developed a new method for safely prolonging battery life by inserting a nano-coating of boron nitride (BN) to stabilize solid electrolytes in lithium metal batteries. The team focused on solid, ceramic electrolytes, which show promise in improving safety and energy density, compared with conventional, flammable electrolytes in Li-ion batteries. Rechargeable solid-state lithium batteries they are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190422112749.htm

Geomagnetic jerks finally reproduced and explained

The Earth's magnetic field experiences unpredictable, rapid, and intense anomalies that are known as geomagnetic jerks. The mechanisms behind this phenomenon had remained a mystery until the recent research. Scientists have now created a computer model for these geomagnetic jerks, and provided an explanation for their appearance. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190422112806.htm

ISS Daily Summary Report – 4/19/2019

Medical Proteomics: The crew performed a blood draw session in support of the JAXA Medical Proteomics experiment.  Medical Proteomics evaluates changes of proteins in blood serum, bone and skeletal muscles after space flight, and supports identification of osteopenia-related proteins. By combining research results for space mice, astronauts and ground patients, proteins related to osteopenia can … from ISS On-Orbit Status Report https://blogs.nasa.gov/stationreport/2019/04/19/iss-daily-summary-report-4192019/

Island lizards are expert sunbathers, and researchers find it's slowing their evolution

If you've ever spent some time in the Caribbean, you might have noticed that humans are not the only organisms soaking up the sun. Anoles -- diminutive little tree lizards -- spend much of their day shuttling in and out of shade. But, according to a new study, this behavioral 'thermoregulation' isn't just affecting their body temperature. Surprisingly, it's also slowing their evolution. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190422105000.htm

Photonics: The curious case of the disappearing cylinders

A pair of researchers describes a way of making a submicron-sized cylinder disappear without using any specialized coating. Their findings could enable invisibility of natural materials at optical frequency and eventually lead to a simpler way of enhancing optoelectronic devices, including sensing and communication technologies. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190422090852.htm

From 2D to 1D: Atomically quasi '1D' wires using a carbon nanotube template

Researchers have used carbon nanotube templates to produce nanowires of transition metal monochalcogenide (TMM), which are only 3 atoms wide in diameter. These are 50 times longer than previous attempts and can be studied in isolation, preserving the properties of atomically quasi '1D' objects. The team saw that single wires twist when perturbed, suggesting that isolated nanowires have unique mechanical properties which might be applied to switching in nanoelectronics. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190420090531.htm

Biomimetics: Artificial receptor distinguishes between male and female hormones

Researchers at Tokyo Tech have revealed that an artificial receptor preferentially binds male steroid hormones from a mixture of male and female hormones in water. Based on their findings, they succeeded in the preparation of a prototype detection system for male hormones at the nanogram level. This achievement could lead to the development of ultrasensitive analytical devices for medical diagnostics and anti-doping testing in sports. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190422082246.htm
