Cookstoves have wide-reaching impacts on human health, air quality, and the climate. We measured emissions from uncontrolled cooking in 41 households ...
Biomineralization is a 550-million-year-old process by which organisms make hard structural features. The eggshell of a domestic chicken is roughly 95 percent the mineral calcium-carbonate and about 3.5 percent organic material by weight. The incorporation of organic material and the specific nanostructure lead to mechanical properties that provide distinct advantages for the animals that produce them.
Like any good veggie burger, the "Impossible Burger," which was first sold in 2016, has a base of plant protein. Wheat protein (also known as gluten) provides the "chew", while potato protein is responsible for water retention, creating that juicy consistency, as well as the crispy seared exterior.
It takes a certain amount of time for a vibration to propagate through the floor and reach each sensor, depending on how far the sensor is from the location of the footstep. The system measures the difference in the time it takes for that signal to arrive at each sensor; with four sensors, it can figure out where a person is walking, accurate within about a foot.

About 90 percent of the human population is right-handed - this has been the case for the last 10,000 years. But what sets lefties apart? A new study published in the journal Brain has identified the specific genes that are related to which hand you prefer.
From Bigfoot to King Kong, people have been faking photographs and videos for as long as the media have existed. With advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, creating fakes has become much easier in recent years.
Story and photos by S. Rose Eilenberg An interesting mix of generations milled around the lower level of the Carnegie Science Center on Monday, Feb. 4, eating, drinking and chatting. They were all there for Cafe Scientifique, a monthly program dedicated to creating a space for adults interested in science and technology to hear from experts, without the jargon, and ask questions.
