The material is made up of hollow cage-like molecules that have high storage capabilities for greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and sulphur hexafluoride - a more potent gas that can last thousands of years in the atmosphere. Dr Mark Little, who jointly led the research at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, said the discovery has the potential to "help solve society's biggest challenges'

researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh create hollow, cage-like molecules with high storage capacities. Sulphur hexafluoride is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide and can last thousands of years in the atmosphere. Dr Marc Little said: “This is an exciting discovery because we need new porous materials to help solve society’s biggest challenges”

WHO currently assesses the public health risk of cattle-to-human transmission of the virus "to be low,' but notes that their assessment will be reviewed should further epidemiological or virological information become available. In the U.S., efforts to monitor the spread of the disease are being handled by the United States Food and Drug Administration, which is monitoring contamination in dairy sources. Webby says some cows have been asymptomatic and that it's not nearly as deadly among cattle as

Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance has received an $8.2 million grant from the Harold Alfond Foundation to train about 1,000 educators in the state and reach 20,000 students over the next five years. Some of the teachers will tour businesses relying on computer science and find ways to fuse the discipline with their classroom lessons. The project builds on Maine’s efforts to expand computer science education across grade levels.

Nalini Joshi Imagine the tap of a card that bought you a cup of coffee this morning also let a hacker halfway across the world access your bank account and buy themselves whatever they liked. This is not a science fiction scenario. It may well become a reality when sufficiently powerful quantum computers come online. These devices will use the strange properties of the quantum world to untangle secrets that would take ordinary computers more than a lifetime to decipher.

NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center already predicts above-average temperatures for most of the Continental U.S. and Alaska now through June. It’s that time of year when we’re bracing for the hot summer months, seeing more and more 110+ degree days. Dr. Joellen Russell says extreme heat and weather events like wildfires and flooding are predicted to get worse. “Not a list we like to be on the top of,” Dr. Russell said.
