New research concludes novel ideas tend to generate conflicting evaluations because people lack common points of reference from which to judge them. Such mixed reviews lead to negative perceptions about the idea’s usefulness, resulting in missed opportunities to drive innovation. New research concludes novel ideas tend to generate conflicting evaluations because people lack common points …
Chemists have presented a new approach in which a single carbon atom is inserted into the carbon skeleton of cyclic compounds in order to adjust the ring size. The method could be relevant, for example, for the production of active ingredients in new pharmaceutical products. Chemists have presented a new approach in which a single …

A study has found that green ammonia could be used to fulfill the fuel demands of over 60% of global shipping by targeting just the top 10 regional fuel ports. Researchers looked at the production costs of ammonia which are similar to very low sulphur fuels, and concluded that the fuel could be a viable …

Three decades of data have informed a new Nebraska-led study that shows how the depletion of groundwater — the same that many farmers rely on for irrigation — can threaten food production amid drought and drier climes. The study found that, due in part to the challenges of extracting groundwater, an aquifer’s depletion can curb …
