The top-tier instrumentation at Carnegie’s Earth and Planets Laboratory (EPL) makes it one of the best places in the world to study materials under pressure. Jill Yang is the high-pressure research ...

With centralized production, the price of ammonia-based fertilizers is affected by the volatility of the fossil fuel market, complex supply chains and long-distance transportation costs. Now, an ...

Metabolism is one of the strongest drivers of interkingdom interactions-including those between microorganisms and their multicellular hosts. Traditionally thought to fuel energy requirements and ...

We report a synthetic route to mesoporous crystalline aluminosilica materials using high pressure and temperature. In the first step a large-pore periodic mesoporous aluminosilica SBA-15 material was ...

Recent computational studies have predicted that rare-earth superhydrides are promising high-temperature superconductors. Of these phases having very high hydrogen content (XHn, n > 6, where X is the ...

Cyanobacteria can survive in many environments that are often nutrient-limited. They have developed a suite of responses to deal with both biotic and abiotic stresses. In this review the responses of ...

The Visible Integral-field Replicable Unit Spectrograph (VIRUS) consists of 156 identical spectrographs (arrayed as 78 pairs) fed by 35,000 fibers, each 1.5 arcsec diameter, at the focus of the ...

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solution necessary to achieve net-zero-carbon-emissions goals. While the BECCS potential from large industrial ...

As the decarbonization of the electric power sector gathers pace, electric power systems will need to evolve in multiple ways: larger amounts of intermittent renewables will need to be deployed, as ...

We report the discovery of two ultra-faint satellites in the vicinity of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in data from the Magellanic Satellites Survey (MagLiteS). Situated 18 deg (similar to 20 kpc) ...

NASA's Perseverance and ESA's Rosalind Franklin rovers have the scientific goal of searching for evidence of ancient life on Mars. Geochemical biosignatures that form because of microbe-mineral ...

The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene product is mutated in the vast majority of human colorectal cancers. APC negatively regulates the WNT pathway by aiding in the degradation of beta-catenin, ...
