Engineers in the US and Mexico have developed a way to use soot from emissions to improve solar thermal devices. The coatings are not only cheaper to produce but more efficient than using materials like graphene, while reducing pollution. Source of Article
While stellarator fusion reactors have conventionally featured irregularly shaped magnetic coils, scientists have now developed simpler and straighter versions they say can offer some important benefits. Source of Article
A robust new study led by researchers from Stanford University has found THC can trigger inflammation in blood vessel cells, and the researchers call for medical marijuana users to be aware of potential cardiovascular risks. Source of Article
Skin plays a key role in our sense of touch, but its sensitivity is hard to replicate. Now, researchers have developed a new type of electronic skin (e-skin) containing tiny embedded hairs that can precisely perceive touch and the direction it moves. Source of Article
Paleontologists have discovered the largest raptor dinosaur ever found. The new species, known as Maip macrothorax, was a super predator of the megaraptor family that stalked the forests of Argentina some 70 million years ago. Source of Article
A fascinating new study has provided compelling evidence that all is not what it seems when it comes to stereotypes around modern day dog breeds and certain behaviors, finding modern breed classification has only a small influence on behavior. Source of Article
On April 19, the one-year anniversary of its first flight, NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter visited and took images of the crash site of the protective aeroshell and parachute that helped deliver it and the Perseverance rover to the Red Planet. Source of Article
Preliminary data from a large Phase 3 clinical trial is offering promising signs for a new anti-obesity drug. Called tirzepatide, the drug helped overweight and obese participants lose up to 22.5 percent of their total body weight over 72 weeks. Source of Article
Direct air carbon capture is currently far too costly – but this London company says it can do it at enormous scale for a tenth the price, using engineered algal blooms in ponds located near desert coastlines. Oh, and it'll de-acidify the ocean, too. Source of Article
NASA’s InSight lander has recorded the two strongest quakes detected so far on Mars, with both measuring over magnitude 4. These seismic events rolled in from the far side of the Red Planet, and one also clocked the record for longest marsquake. Source of Article
