MIT ultrasonic tech pulls drinking water from air in minutes

Feeling thirsty? It may be possible to draw clean water directly from the air around us. Even extremely dry regions contain small amounts of humidity, and certain materials can soak up that moisture and release it as usable drinking water. Over the past several years, researchers have created a range…

New report reveals major risks in turning oceans into carbon sinks

The world’s oceans are expected to play a key part in drawing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to help slow dangerous climate warming. A central question is whether the technologies designed for this role are ready to be expanded. According to an expert panel reporting to the European Union,…

A compact fusion machine just hit gigapascal pressures

Zap Energy has reached a major milestone with its Fusion Z-pinch Experiment 3, known as FuZE-3. The device has generated plasmas with electron pressures up to 830 megapascals (MPa), or a total pressure of 1.6 gigapascals (GPa), a level similar to the intense conditions found deep beneath Earth’s crust. This…

Scientists reawaken exhausted T cells to supercharge cancer immunity

A new study has identified a molecular cue that cancer cells use to exhaust the T cells responsible for destroying them, and the findings show that shutting down this signal may help restore the body’s immune defenses. The work, led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and published Nov. 17…

New research shows hot tubs trigger surprising health benefits saunas don’t

Hot tubs and saunas are both known for helping tired muscles relax and providing comforting warmth. However, recent research indicates that hot tubs may deliver more noticeable health benefits. A team at the Bowerman Sports Science Center at the University of Oregon examined how the body responds to three types…

Blocking a single protein forces cancer cells to self-destruct

Researchers at NYU Langone Health have identified how a specific form of cell death linked to the buildup of highly reactive molecules can slow the growth of lung tumors. This type of cell death, known as ferroptosis, originally evolved as a way for the body to clear out cells that…

Tregua Meloni-Mattarella, ma resta il gelo – Notizie – Ansa.it

Venti minuti di colloquio non bastano per la pace, ma fanno scattare la tregua tra Quirinale e Palazzo Chigi. Giorgia Meloni telefona al presidente Mattarella e poi sale al Colle per un colloquio che le fonti ufficiali definiscono cordiale e proficuo. ‘Il caso è chiuso’, è la parola d’ordine in…

Mario Rossi informatore, giallo sull’email ai giornali – Notizie – Ansa.it

  L’articolo lo ha pubblicato La Verità, firmato con uno pseudonimo, Ignazio Mangrano. Ma lo stesso identico testo è arrivato domenica all’ora di pranzo in almeno tre redazioni, di area di centrodestra, inclusa quella del Giornale, dalla casella mail [email protected], e firmato Mario Rossi.     Questo elemento getta tinte di…

Caso Kessler, la Germania discute sul suicidio assistito – Notizie – Ansa.it

Alice ed Ellen Kessler sono volate via il 17 novembre, “ci rivediamo al settimo cielo” hanno scritto all’amica Carolin Reiber, che ha ricevuto una lettera “da aprire solo il 18, con un meraviglioso gioiello di giada”, come rivelato l’Abendzeitung. E il loro gesto ha subito riaperto il dibattito sul suicidio…

Studente accoltellato, il branco era ‘pronto a rifarlo’ – Notizie – Ansa.it

Ridevano quando dicevano, tra le altre cose, che sarebbe rimasto “paralizzato” e che speravano morisse, con una “ilarità” che dimostra tutta la loro “disumana indifferenza”. E non basta perché, come risulta dagli atti e soprattutto dalle intercettazioni, erano anche pronti a “cimentarsi nuovamente”, scrive la gip, nello “sfogare” quella loro…

Quantum computers just simulated physics too complex for supercomputers

Scientists study matter under extreme conditions to uncover some of nature’s most fundamental behaviors. The Standard Model of particle physics contains the equations needed to describe these phenomena, but in many real situations such as fast-changing environments or extremely dense matter, those equations become too complex for even the most…
