Purdue study downgrades Arctic methane emissions thanks to soil microbes
Rising global temperatures are expected to thaw Arctic permafrost, reinvigorating the microorganisms that live in the region’s carbon-rich soils. When that happens, those microbes will begin consuming the carbon stored in the permafrost and emitting massive amounts of methane, one of the most powerful greenhouse gases on the planet.
New technologies aim to make 3D cameras easier to use
A 3D camera should be as easy to use as one found on a smartphone.
Device could ‘hear’ disease through structures housing cells
Similarly to how a picked lock gives away that someone has broken into a building, the stiffening of a structure surrounding cells in the human body can indicate that cancer is invading other tissue.
Chemistry startup ready to take unique Purdue adhesive technology to the market
A novel underwater adhesive technology, based on a glue used naturally by marine creatures, soon may provide a safer adhesive option for industries ranging from biomedical to aerospace.
