Vita moln kan bli hotfullt mörka
1dMoln består av väldigt många små vattendroppar. För att moln ska kunna bildas krävs att de meteorologiska förutsättningarna vind, fuktighet och temperatur är de rätta. Det krävs också mycket små partiklar svävande i luften, som tjänar som embryon för molndropparna. I varje molndroppe finns en liten partikel på vilken droppen har bildats – en kondensationskärna. Dessa kan bestå av exempelvis luftfö

Elchocksexperiment: Nio av tio ökar styrkan i elstötarna när en auktoritet ber dem
1dMånga av oss tror inte att vi skulle lyda order om att begå våld. Men i ett polskt experiment valde omkring 90 procent att ge vad de trodde var en annan medverkande allt starkare elstötar när en auktoritet bad dem. – Det är mycket sannolikt att vi alla skulle bete oss likadant, säger psykologen Tomasz Grzyb i Vetenskapens värld.

A controllable membrane to pull carbon dioxide out of exhaust streams
1dA system developed by chemical engineers could provide a way of continuously removing carbon dioxide from a stream of waste gases, or even from the air. The key component is an electrochemically assisted membrane whose permeability to gas can be switched on and off at will, using no moving parts and relatively little energy.

Calcium bursts kill drug-resistant tumor cells
1dMultidrug resistance (MDR) — a process in which tumors become resistant to multiple medicines — is the main cause of failure of cancer chemotherapy. Tumor cells often acquire MDR by boosting their production of proteins that pump drugs out of the cell, rendering the chemotherapies ineffective. Now, researchers have developed nanoparticles that release bursts of calcium inside tumor cells, inhibi

Arctic Ocean sediments reveal permafrost thawing during past climate warming
1dSea floor sediments of the Arctic Ocean can reveal how permafrost responds to climate warming. Researchers have found evidence of past permafrost thawing during climate warming events at the end of the last ice age. Their findings caution about what could happen in the near future: Arctic warming by only a few degrees Celsius may trigger massive permafrost thawing, coastal erosion, and the release
