Why Occidental Stock Was Pushed Higher by Warren Buffett Today
Never underestimate the power of the Buffett Effect.
Carbon credit rule-makers must engage Indigenous People
Indigenous people protect the forests but the organisation writing up a rule-book for high-quality carbon offsets has not adequately consulted them
The post Carbon credit rule-makers must engage Indigenous People appeared first on Climate Home News.
New additives could turn concrete into an effective carbon sink
Introducing additives to concrete manufacturing processes could reduce the sizeable carbon footprint of the material without altering its bulk mechanical properties, a study shows.

Retinal scans: A non-invasive, inexpensive method to track human aging
Is the eye a window into aging? New research has shown how imaging of the fundus, the blood vessel-rich tissue in the retina, can be used to track human aging, in a way that is noninvasive, less expensive and more accurate than other aging clocks that …

Brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed reveals new mysteries of cosmic explosions
Scientists believe the gamma-ray emission, which lasted over 300 seconds, is the birth cry of a black hole, formed as the core of a massive and rapidly spinning star collapses under its own weight.
Pulsing ultrasound waves could someday remove microplastics from waterways
Colorful particles of plastic drift along under the surface of most waterways. These barely visible microplastics — less than 5 mm wide — are potentially harmful to aquatic animals and plants, as well as humans. Now, a team reports a two-stage device…

Modern origami method creates glass shapes by folding
The ancient art of origami is well known for transforming sheets of paper and other foldable materials into complex 3D shapes. But now, chemical engineers have extended the centuries-old practice to produce intricate shapes made of glass or other hard …

Components of cytoskeleton strengthen effect of sex hormones
Researchers discover that actin acts in the cell nucleus and is partly responsible for the expression of male sexual characteristics.

Early study shows cones in retinal degeneration, thought to be dormant, may retain visual function
New research in mice suggests that ‘dormant’ cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal activity for vision.

Conserving wildlife can help mitigate climate change
Solving the climate crisis and biodiversity crisis are not separate issues. Animals remove billions of tons of carbon dioxide each year. Restoring species will help limit global warming, new science reveals.
New form of omega-3 could prevent visual decline with Alzheimer’s disease
For the first time, researchers have developed a form of the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that is capable of crossing into the eye’s retina to ward off visual declines related to Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and other disorders.
SMART warnings could protect communities at risk from flooding
Engaging communities in developing a real-time early warning system could help to reduce the often-devastating impact of flooding on people and property — particularly in mountainous regions where extreme water events are a ‘wicked’ problem, a new stu…
