Newswise — Nitrogen is an essential component in the production of amino acids and nucleic acids — both necessary for cell growth and function. Although the atmosphere is composed of nearly 80% nitrogen, this nitrogen is in the form of dinitrogen (N2), which cannot be processed by most organisms. Atmospheric nitrogen must first be converted,…
Newswise — Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT, President Sun Kyu, Park) has introduced a groundbreaking vapor pressure equation. This innovative study addresses the limitations of the Lee-Kesler method which has been widely used methods in the field of thermodynamics, offering a versatile and comprehensive solution for vapor pressure calculations across diverse…

DNA stores the instructions for life and, along with enzymes and other molecules, computes everything from hair color to risk of developing diseases. Harnessing that prowess and immense storage capacity could lead to DNA-based computers that are faster and smaller than today’s silicon-based versions. As a step toward that goal, researchers report in ACS Central…
Newswise — Woods Hole, Mass. (Dec. 5, 2024) — Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) investigating the pathways of the proposed wastewater discharge from the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) find it has a high probability of remaining in Cape Cod Bay for at least one month after release. Their findings are based…
Newswise — Wearing sunscreen is important to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation but doesn’t cool people off. However, a new formula, described in ACS’ Nano Letters, protects against both UV light and heat from the sun using radiative cooling. The prototype sunblock kept human skin up to 11 degrees Fahrenheit (6 degrees…
