Study generated the first-ever meridional profile of Mars’ radiant energy budget, or REB, which represents the balance or imbalance between absorbed solar energy and emitted thermal energy across the latitudes. "On Mars, we observe a polar energy surplus and a tropical energy deficit.” https://www.uh.edu/news-events/stories/2024/december/12192024-mars-wx-breakthrough.php 3 comments 20/12/2024 science

Hope is a key factor in recovering from anxiety disorders, suggests a new study, which found that cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) can result in clear increases in hope, associated with changes in anxiety symptoms, in social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and OCD. http://www.uh.edu/news-events/stories/2019/october-2019/101419-hope-anxiety-gallagher.php 3 comments 15/10/2020 science
Researchers have reported a significant breakthrough in producing hydrogen and clean drinking water from seawater, one of the most abundant resources on earth. The device, composed of inexpensive non-noble metal nitrides, manages to avoid many of the obstacles that have limited earlier attempts. http://www.uh.edu/news-events/stories/2019/november-2019/11112019ren-seawater-catalyst.php 364 comments 12/11/2019 science

Scientists are studying Earth germs that could be contaminating other planets. Despite extreme decontamination efforts, bacterial spores from Earth still manage to find their way into outer space aboard spacecraft. Scientists are examining how and why some spores elude decontamination. http://www.uh.edu/news-events/stories/2018/june2018/062718-george-fox-space-bacteria.php 3 comments 28/6/2018 space
A protein in the brain that binds to alcohol could be the key to curing alcoholism. The protein, called MUNC 13-1, plays a pivotal role in the development of tolerance to alcoholism, so targeting it could help reduce tolerance to alcohol and reduce addiction http://www.uh.edu/news-events/stories/2018/june2018/06051018-joydip-das-alcohol.php 30 comments 6/6/2018 science
