• A catalytic two-step: Transforming industrial CO2 into a renewable fuel February 19, 2025
  Scientists have taken a critical next step in creating a scalable process to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and 'recirculate' it as a renewable fuel. Chemists now describe their latest breakthrough in creating methanol -- a widely used liquid fuel for internal combustion and other engines -- from industrial emissions of CO2, a […]
• 300 new intermediate-mass black holes plus 2500 new active black holes in dwarf galaxies discovered February 19, 2025
  Within the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's early data, scientists have uncovered the largest samples ever of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies hosting an active black hole, more than tripling the existing census of both. These large statistical samples will allow for more in-depth studies of the dynamics between dwarf galaxy evolution and black hole […]
• New process gets common rocks to trap carbon rapidly, cheaply February 19, 2025
  Scientists have discovered how to turn common minerals into materials that spontaneously remove and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In the lab, the materials pull CO2 from the air thousands of times faster than occurs with natural rock weathering.
• Jumbled proteins paint a bold target on the backs of brain tumors February 19, 2025
  Immune therapy has transformed how cancer is treated, but many tumors continue to evade these treatments, thanks to their resemblance to healthy tissue.
• Global retreat of glaciers has strongly accelerated February 19, 2025
  Researchers present a global assessment of ice loss since the beginning of the millennium. In a global comparison, the glaciers in the Alps and Pyrenees are melting the fastest.
