The cause of Earth’s deepest earthquakes has been a mystery to science for more than a century, but a team of Carnegie scientists may have cracked the case. New research published provides evidence that fluids play a key role in deep-focus earthquakes which occur between 300 and 700 kilometers below the planet’s surface. The research team includes Carnegie scientists Steven

Researchers at the University of Arizona recently developed an innovative technique to capture the unused solar energy that illuminates a solar panel. As reported in the Journal of Photonics for Energy (JPE), they created special holograms that can be easily inserted into the solar panel package. This method can increase the amount of solar energy converted by the solar panel over the course of a year by about five percent.
Findings on Neanderthal oral microbiomes offer new clues to evolution, health

A new study looking at the evolutionary history of the human oral microbiome shows that Neanderthals and ancient humans adapted to eating starch-rich foods as far back as 100,000 years ago, much earlier than previously thought.
The research, funded in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation, suggests that such foods became important early in human evolution, well before the recognized shift in the human diet with the introduction of farming. While these early humans probably didn t realize it, the benefits of bringing starch-rich foods into their diet likely helped pave the way for the expansion of the human brain thanks to the glucose in starch, the brain s main fuel source.
