This is what Donald Trump’s admi

The five: magnetoreceptive animals
Scientists have discovered that humans may be able to pick up on the Earth’s magnetic field. Here are some other species with animal magnetism Last week, researchers from the California Institute of Technology announced that they believe humans have the ability to pick up on the Earth’s magnetic field – a power known as magnetoreception. In an experiment, participants’ brains were described as “f

May I have a word about… the many multiple sins against English | Jonathan Bouquet
One of my colleagues is roused to volcanic harrumphing by the tangible outcomes of insidiously intangible infelicities For some people, it’s the little things that truly offend; sins against the English language that cause them to believe that the whole glorious edifice is crumbling. One of my colleagues is roused to volcanic harrumphing by the use of the word “multiple”. He might like to avert h

New IR treatment for 'tennis elbow' reduces pain and inflammation without surgery
Tennis elbow, the painful chronic condition that affects up to 3 percent of the US adult population, can be effectively treated through transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE), an image-guided, non-surgical treatment that decreases abnormal blood flow to the injured area to reduce inflammation and pain, according to research presented today at the Society of Interventional Radiology's 2019 Annua

Breakthrough in air purification with a catalyst that works at room temperature
Researchers have shown that a newly engineered catalyst made of gold nanoparticles supported on a metal oxide framework shows breakdown of ammonia impurities in air, with excellent selectivity for conversion to nitrogen gas. Importantly, it is effective at room temperature, making it suitable for everyday air purification systems. The team successfully identified the mechanism behind this behavior

With additional engineering, the method could be scaled up to scan ship
