A new computer simulation of domestic catsâ noses suggests that the convoluted nasal structures involved in their sense of smell function similarly to parallel coiled gas chromatographsâlaboratory equipment used for highly efficient analysis of the chemical makeup of substances . Zhenxing Wu of the Ohio State University , U.S . and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS Computational Biology  on June 29, 2023. Vertebrates use their

Researchers report a new single-photon Raman lidar system that operates underwater and can remotely distinguish various substances . They also show that the new system can detect the thickness of the oil underwater up to 12 m away , which could be useful for detecting oil . spills âDifferentiating substances in water

In addition to the early season projections from NOAA and its partners , NOAA also issues HAB forecasts during the bloom season . These forecasts provide the current extent and five-day outlooks of where the bloom will travel and what concentrations are likely to be seen , allowing local decision makers to make
Some vocabulary from bad old days of the Cold War has come back to haunt us. Russia has announced that it has deployed its RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in Belarus. The 112 ft long, 211 ton missile is said to carry 15 Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicles (MIRVs). As new and scary as this […]
Atomic hydrogen (the major isotope protium) is the simplest, lightest and most abundant neutral atom in the universe. Molecular hydrogen, H2, is the simplest neutral molecule in the universe. Seems very simple. Well, hold on. Turns out that molecular hydrogen has two distinct forms and it relates to the business of nuclear spin. Quantum mechanics […]
