How mangrove roots interact with water flow is believed to be a key element in mitigating coastal erosion. Researchers are the first to quantify the optimal mangrove root hydrodynamic with a predictive model, which provides insight into the sediment transport and erosion processes that govern the evolution of the shapes of shorelines. Results can provide useful guidance for coastal managers restoring estuarine mangrove forests or planting mangroves as part of living shoreline stabilization.

Maria Stefaniak Maria Stefaniak was born in Poland and graduated with a Bachelor and Master of Science at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT). She is doing her doctoral studies in the frame of the double-diploma BGF Cotutelle program at WUT and Subatech-IMT Atlantique in France. Stefaniak’s research focuses on the studies of properties of strongly interacting matter and its transition between the quark gluon plasma (QGP) and the gas state. One of the methods to access such extreme condition...

Atos supercomputer to help unlock secrets of the Universe Paris (France), London, (UK) 1 June 2021 – Atos today announces it has been awarded a contract by the University of Edinburgh to deliver its most efficient supercomputer, the BullSequana XH2000, the most energy-efficient supercomputing system on the market. This is the largest system dedicated to GPU computing deployed at a customer site in the UK. The new system will constitute the Extreme Scaling Service of the UK’s DiRAC ...

A detector in Italy has observed what seem to be hints of strange dark matter particles for more than 20 years – but a similar detector in Spain is throwing doubt on the results

Narrating the basic knowledge of nanofibrous filters. The mechanical-dependent and electrostatic-dependent nanofibrous filters were summarized according to their mechanical adsorption and electrostatic adsorption to the nanoparticles, respectively, which will help to understand and design better performance nanofibrous filters.

Developing a novel and convenient method to prepare dual emission nitrogen-doped carbon dots, which can be used as a ratiometric fluorescent probe for detecting dopamine based on the variation of the ratio (I595nm/I435nm).

 E-Mail Credit: XU Yingsheng Recently, the researchers from Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, by using valence engineering, developed three manganese oxides as electrodes with different Mn valences for high-performance capacitive desalination. Reverse osmosis and thermal distillation are widely used to treat salt water with high salt concentration, but they have disadvantages including high energy consumption and ...

 E-Mail The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) is establishing eleven new Collaborative Research Centres (CRC) to promote world-class research at universities. This was announced by the relevant Grants Committee, which met by video conference due to the coronavirus pandemic. The new CRCs will initially receive a total of approximately €138 million over a period of four years from 1 July 2021 onwards. This includes a 22-percent programme allowance for indirect p...

 E-Mail What does quark-gluon plasma - the hot soup of elementary particles formed a few microseconds after the Big Bang - have in common with tap water? Scientists say its the way it flows. A new study, published today in the journal SciPost Physics, has highlighted the surprising similarities between quark-gluon plasma, the first matter thought to have filled the early Universe, and water that comes from our tap. The ratio between the viscosity of a fluid, the measure of how runny it is, a...

A recent study published 26 May estimates a cumulative monetised impact of at least £1.8 billion on UK science and economy from the UKs synchrotron, Diamond Light Source, reflecting favourably with the £1.2 billion investment made in the facility to date. And it costs less than a cup of coffee as each taxpayer contributes only £2.45 a year towards it. The study measures Diamonds scientific, technological, societal, and economic benefits and highlights the significant impact it...
