Since pigs can tolerate high levels of the metal, researchers at Texas Tech University in Amarillo recently investigated whether copper might be used to promote pig gut health and reduce the shedding of microbes to the environment.

Researchers have created sheets of gold metal measuring only a single atom layer thick. The new material, dubbed “goldene”, has unique properties that could see it become useful for catalysis, carbon dioxide conversion and much more.

In research that may lead to next-generation airplanes and spacecraft, MIT engineers used carbon nanotubes to prevent cracking in multilayered composites.

Scientists have found a way to transform metal waste into a highly efficient catalyst to make hydrogen from water, a discovery that could make hydrogen production more sustainable.

The length of time that Yellowstone Lake is covered by ice each year has not changed in the past century, despite warming temperatures in the region, according to new research led by University of Wyoming scientists.

A massive new analysis of high seas salmon surveys dating back to the 1950s is enhancing the understanding of salmon ecology, adding details about where various species congregate.

By fueling the growth of plants that become kindling, carbon dioxide is driving an increase in wildfire severity and frequency, reports a new study.

Researchers observed that adolescent rats fed on a junk food diet had lower levels of key neurotransmitters associated with memory than their snackless counterparts.

New research has identified that gentrified parts of a city have notably more urban wildlife than ungentrified parts of the same city.

Machine learning (ML) enables the accurate and efficient computation of fundamental electronic properties of binary and ternary oxide surfaces. Their ML-based model could be extended to other compounds and properties.
