Authenticating a Document Using a Paper's Fingerprint
Even altered paper (i.e., heated, scribbled upon or water damaged paper) can be analyzed, according to researchers.
New Way of Producing Hydrogen Fuel Discovered
A U.S. based team of researchers and MIPT scientists have assembled a nanoscale biological structure capable of producing hydrogen from water using light.
Antidepressants Found in Great Lakes Fish
Researchers are concerned that the Niagara River, connecting Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, is just a sampling of a larger problem.
New Aerospace Test is a Green Alternative to Explosive Testing
Sandia National Laboratories has successfully demonstrated a new and more environmentally-friendly method to test a rocket part to make sure its avionics can withstand the shock from stage separation during flight.
Deforestation Linked to an Increase in Sick Children in Cambodia
Symptoms — including diarrhea, acute respiratory infection and fever — thought to be the source of childhood mortality, increased in relation to regions of Cambodia losing dense forest areas.
Chemicals Found in Yoga Mats Affect Fertility
Flame retardant chemicals found in products such as yoga mats are thought to be tied to disrupted fertility treatments such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), according to a recent study.
That's a Wrap: New Material for High-quality Bioimaging
If plastic wrap keeps food from desiccating, why not wrap biological tissues to preserve their water content?
Further Along the Path to Hydrogen Fuel Cells
New research shows promise for using liquid-metal membranes to generate the pure hydrogen needed to power hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Reconstructing the Life of the Dodo
No complete specimens exist, but analysis of bone histology sheds some light on the bird's life history and ecology.
Stroke Risk Predicted by MRI Mapping Method
The method indicates whether plaques in carotid arteries have high cholesterol concentrations and are therefore more likely to cause a stroke.
Controlled Burning System Reveals Landmines
The controlled use of smoldering combustion reveals the presence of landmines in peat soils.
