Changing how a country types: New keyboard standard makes typing in French easier: New standard created with state-of-the-art algorithm adopted by France

"Algorithms, like the ones we have developed for the French keyboard, can help us make better decisions..

Rainforest conservation in Peru must become more effective: How the effectiveness of the National Forest Conservation Program could be increased

In their publication the scientists analyze the "National Forest Conservation Program" (NFCP).It was launched by the Peruvian government in 2010 to curb the deforestation of the rainforest..

Calculating temperature inside moon to help reveal its inner structure

She found the temperature to be between 1,300 and 1,470 degrees Celsius, which is at the high end of an 800 degree range that previous scientists had determined.

Optical tweezers achieve new feats of capturing atoms

In a new study, a team led by physicist Cindy Regal showed that it could organize groups of individual atoms into large grids with an efficiency unmatched by existing methods.

Squeezed nanocrystals: A new model predicts their shape when blanketed under graphene

Ames Laboratory scientist are experts in 2D materials, and recently discovered a first-of-its-kind copper and graphite combination, produced by depositing copper on ion-bombarded graphite at high temperature and in an ultra-high vacuum environment. This produced a distribution of copper islands, embedded under an ultra-thin "blanket" consisting of a few layers

Researchers uncover additional evidence for massive solar storms

For the past 70 years, researchers have studied these solar storms by direct instrumental observations, which has led to an understanding of how they can pose a risk to the electrical grid, various communication systems, satellites and air traffic. Two examples of severe solar storms in modern times that caused

Few pathways to an acceptable climate future without immediate action

By adapting a popular computational climate change assessment model to better account for uncertainties in human activity and the atmosphere's sensitivity to carbon dioxide levels, the researchers created a novel method for exploring the consequences of different climate change futures to better inform policy decisions. The work is detailed in

The Intriguing Holographic Universe Theory and Its Roots in Ancient Philosophy

The idea of a holographic universe is a relatively new scientific theory.It suggests a whole new way of perceiving the universe.

Scientists successfully create Hybrid Human-Chicken Embryos

A group of stem cell scientists has made an unprecedented accomplishment as they have successfully combined artificial human cells with the embryo of chickens, in a shocking scientific experiment that aims to understand better how life develops

A doubt about 5G safety

The 5G technology uses frequencies from 2.5Ghz to 300Ghz. This means that the range of the waves is shorter, therefore antennas must be placed even closer each other than the current 3G/4G networks, which operate in range of frequency much lower.

Research Reveals Plants Can Think, Choose & Remember

A provocative research from 2010 published in Plant Signaling Behavior proposes that since they cannot escape environmental stresses in the manner of animals, they have developed a “sophisticated, highly responsive and dynamic physiology"

NASA Happily Reports The Earth Is Greener, With More Trees Than 20 Years Ago Thanks To China & India

Thanks to China and India, human-induced 'greening' has increased by 5% across the earth! Why are we only getting the 'bad news' stories about the climate all the time? Is it politically convenient? Does it fit narratives? Is it always true? Are we only being told one side? Are we

The Dangers of 5G to Children’s Health

Mobile and wireless technologies are a ubiquitous feature of modern life.

Capitalist Agriculture: Putting Soil on a Diet of Snake Oil and Doughnuts

The Monsanto Tribunal in the The Hague (source). In their rush to readily promote neoliberal dogma and corporate-inspired PR, many government officials, scientists and journalists take as given that profit-driven transnational corporations have a legitimate claim to be custodians of natural assets. The premise is that under capitalism water, food,

Women in Science

This fact sheet presents the latest UIS data on research and experimental development (R&D) available as of June 2018. The gender gap in science Overall, women account for a minority of the world’s researchers. Despite the growing demand for cross-nationally-comparable statistics on women in science, national data and
