Researchers from National Taiwan University and Chulalongkorn University developed a copper-based catalyst system that improves low-temperature methanol synthesis from carbon dioxide hydrogenation by balancing two key steps in the reaction.

The city of Burbank launched a new trail accessibility program to help nature-lovers of all abilities enjoy dignified access to a popular hiking trail with the help of two mobility devices. As the San Fernando Valley’s first trail accessibility program, the initiative features the use of two Action Trackchair AXIS 40, a mobility device designed to navigate through outdoor terrains. Individuals who use wheelchairs will be able to make reservations for one of the two Trackchairs available at the Stough Canyon Fire Trail. “There are programs like this, maybe one can be found up in Northern California, but in terms of the level of accessibility and the level of support that we were given from the community to launch this program, this is the only one of its kind in this area,” said Sam Cohen-Suelter, Senior Recreation Leader for the city of Burbank. Among those who’ve enjoyed the new program already is Joci Scott, who said she was blown away by the launch. “I showed up thinking

Light has long been known to regulate plant growth. New research from Osaka Metropolitan University has discovered a new mechanism behind this regulation. A team led by Professor Kouichi Soga of the Graduate School of Science used a unique method to measure adhesion between the epidermal (the outermost layer) and inner tissues in young pea stems. They found that those grown in light exhibit enhanced adhesion. The research is published in Physiologia Plantarum.

Mexican American artist Natalia Virafuentes creates masks that combine ancient art with her life experiences, drawing inspiration from different cultures and her experiences living in distinct Chicago neighborhoods.

Two unrelated groups of nectar eaters, hummingbirds and sunbirds, have evolved different techniques to slurp the sweet liquid from flowers. The tongue suctioning employed by sunbirds is unique among vertebrates, according to recent research appearing in Current Biology.

A new study by scientists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) shows that when a pressure disturbance moves across an ultrasoft elastic material, such as a gel or a biological tissue, it generates a V-shaped wake that's strikingly similar to the waves that travel behind a boat.
