| (Institute of Physics) Scientists have developed a simple process to treat waste coffee grounds to allow them to store methane. The simple soak and heating process develops a carbon capture material with the additional environmental benefits of recycling a waste product.The results are published today, Sept. 3, 2015, in the journal Nanotechnology. |

| (DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) A team of scientists with Berkeley Lab and the University of Illinois created solar cells that collect higher energy photons at 30 times the concentration of conventional solar cells, the highest luminescent concentration factor ever recorded. |
| Made from solar concentrate |
| (University of Texas at Arlington) UT Arlington electrical engineers have patented an innovative method that improves a controller's ability to make real-time decisions. |
| UT Arlington patent allows real-time learning based on previous decisions |
| (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) At the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in September, members of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology and their colleagues will describe an experiment conducted over six days at a large public garden in Singapore, in which self-driving golf carts ferried 500 tourists around winding paths trafficked by pedestrians, bicyclists, and the occasional monitor lizard. |

| (University of Texas at Arlington) A team of researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington has developed a computer program to automatically create a working app from an artist's concepts. The product, called PixeltoApp, may soon enter the marketplace, aided by a National Science Foundation I-Corps grant. |

| (Arizona State University) Bacteria's ability to become resistant to antibiotics is a growing issue in health care: Resistant strains result in prolonged illnesses and higher mortality rates.One way to combat this is to determine bacteria's antibiotic resistance in a given patient, but that often takes days -- and time is crucial in treatment. ASU scientists have developed a technique that can sort antibiotic-resistant from 'susceptible' bacteria, and it happens in a matter of minutes. |

| (Association for Psychological Science) People who are born premature tend to accumulate less wealth as adults, and a new study suggests that this may be due to lower mathematics abilities. The findings, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, show that preterm birth is associated with lower academic abilities in childhood, and lower educational attainment and less wealth in adulthood. |
| Preterm birth linked with lower math abilities and less wealth |
| (Michigan State University) The simple parenting strategy of helping toddlers understand emotion may reduce behavioral problems later on, finds a federally funded study led by a Michigan State University researcher. |
| Helping toddlers understand emotion key to development |
| (University of Alberta) The University of Alberta Faculty of Science continues its leadership in the field of digital learning with the launch of its first electronic textbook this fall. Available as an app through iTunes and Google Play, the textbook is based on the content from the U of A's extremely successful Dino 101 Massive Open Online Course, an introduction to dinosaur paleobiology. |
| There's an app for that |
| (University of Michigan) Daily marijuana use among the nation's college students is on the rise, surpassing daily cigarette smoking for the first time in 2014. |
| Daily marijuana use among US college students highest since 1980 |
| (BMJ) Over 80 percent of medical students with mental health issues feel they receive poor or only moderately adequate support from their medical schools, finds a small online survey published in Student BMJ today. |
| Medical students with mental health problems do not feel adequately supported |
| (American Chemical Society) It's the most important meal of the day. Or is it? Breakfast has been the topic of much debate. For years, we were told to eat a complete breakfast. But what does that even mean? Should a complete breakfast include eggs, or should you avoid them altogether? Does any of this apply to brunch? We settle all of your breakfast concerns in our latest Reactions video. Fire up the toaster, and watch it here: https://youtu.be/837yGlLsHVY. |

| (ESO) Dominating this image is part of the nebula Gum 56, illuminated by the hot bright young stars that were born within it. For millions of years stars have been created out of the gas in this nebula, material which is later returned to the stellar nursery when the aging stars either expel their material into space or eject it as supernova explosions. This image was taken with the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope in Chile. |
