| Chicago wouldn’t last long under zombie invasion, model finds Posted: 04 Nov 2016 09:05 AM PDT In the unlikely event of the zombie apocalypse, it would take less than two months for the undead to take control of the city, says a new study. |
| Diamond nanothread: Versatile new material could prove priceless for manufacturing Posted: 02 Nov 2016 11:37 AM PDT Would you dress in diamond nanothreads? It's not as far-fetched as you might think. And you'll have a carbon chemist and engineer to thank for it. |
| Shoring up the power grid with DIY scrap-metal batteries Posted: 02 Nov 2016 10:18 AM PDT With residential solar energy ramping up, consumers are looking for ways to store extra energy without breaking the bank. To help solve this problem, a team of scientists has come up with a novel possibility: do-it-yourself, scrap-metal batteries. |
| Making high-performance batteries from junkyard scraps Posted: 02 Nov 2016 06:04 AM PDT Researchers have discovered how to make high-performance batteries using scraps of metal from the junkyard and common household chemicals. |
| Underwater mushrooms: Curious lake fungi under every turned over stone Posted: 01 Nov 2016 07:40 AM PDT While fungi are well known for being essential in cycling carbon and nutrients, there are only about 100,000 described species in contrast to the 1.5 to 3 millions, assumed to exist on Earth. Of these, barely 3000 fungi belong to aquatic habitats. In fact, freshwater fungi have been researched so little, it is only now that an international research team provide the first lake-wide fungal diversity estimate. |
