Fracking: Earthquakes are triggered well beyond fluid injection zones

Using data from field experiments and computer modeling of ground faults, researchers have discovered that the practice of subsurface fluid injection used in 'fracking' and wastewater disposal for oil and gas exploration could cause significant, rapidly spreading earthquake activity beyond the fluid diffusion zone. The results account for the observation that the frequency of man-made earthquakes in some regions of the country surpass natural earthquake hotspots. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190502143353.htm

New approach could accelerate efforts to catalogue vast numbers of cells

Artistic sketches can be used to capture details of a scene in a simpler image. Researchers are now bringing that concept to computational biology, with a novel method that extracts comprehensive samples -- called 'sketches' -- of massive cell datasets that are easier to analyze for biological and medical studies. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190503134649.htm

Stickier than expected: Hydrogen binds to graphene in 10 femtoseconds

Graphene is an extraordinary material consisting of pure carbon just a single atomic layer thick. It is extremely stable, strong and conductive. In electronics, however, graphene has crucial disadvantages. It cannot be used as a semiconductor, since it has no bandgap. Now researchers have produced an ''atomic scale movie'' showing how hydrogen atoms can chemically bind to graphene to produce a bandgap in one of the fastest reactions ever studied. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190503123126.htm

New approach for solving protein structures from tiny crystals

Scientists have developed a new approach for solving atomic-scale 3-D protein structures from tiny crystals. The advance will open up this structural biology technique to a wide range of hard-to-crystallize proteins in bacteria, viruses, plants, and humans. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190503112743.htm

Crowd oil: Fuels from air-conditioning systems

Researchers have proposed a method enabling air conditioning and ventilation systems to produce synthetic fuels from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water from the ambient air. Compact plants are to separate CO2 from the ambient air directly in buildings and produce synthetic hydrocarbons which can then be used as renewable synthetic oil. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190503100816.htm

Needleless vaccine will protect children from dangerous viruses

Orally administered vaccine can protect millions from hepatitis B. Oral vaccines are both safer and less expensive than injections. Therefore, researchers are continuously pursuing ways to produce an oral vaccine that is sufficiently effective. Now, physicists have delivered virologists a 'recipe' for improving vaccine drops using methods from the world of nanophysics. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190503100808.htm

Monitoring the lifecycle of tiny catalyst nanoparticles

In order to tailor nanoparticles in such a way that they can catalyze certain reactions selectively and efficiently, researchers need to determine the properties of single particles as precisely as possible. So far, an ensemble of many nanoparticles is analyzed. The problem of these investigations is that the contributions of different particles interfere, so that the properties of individual particles remain concealed. Researchers have now developed a novel method in order to observe single nanoparticles before, during and after an electrochemical reaction. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190503100806.htm
