Framework sets new benchmarks for 3D atom maps in amorphous materials
Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the three-dimensional positions and elemental ide...
Geochemical research reveals dietary variability in modern pastoralists
The pastoralist lifestyle is often depicted as an unchanging dietary reliance on herd animals and mobility. This is particularly the case in eastern Africa, whe...
Overlooked threat: Dams trigger temperature-driven disease in iconic salmonid fish
A new study published in Communications Biology reveals a critical, yet previously overlooked, environmental consequence of man-made dams constructed across riv...
Tropical feedback loop: Butterfly mimicry patterns evolve faster near the equator
In the early 1990s, Keith Willmott and a friend, both undergraduate students from the United Kingdom, arrived in Ecuador with impressionable minds and big aspir...
Beyond polymers: New state-of-the-art 3D micro and nanofabrication technique overcomes material limitations
Building things so small that they are smaller than the width of a human hair was previously achieved by using a method called two-photon polymerization, also k...
'Holiday mode': Why our green habits vanish on vacation
Being in "holiday mode" makes tourists less environmentally responsible, according to a recent University of Queensland study. Researchers found that while tour...
Networks are keeping NASA's Artemis II mission connected

A sea turtle with 3 flippers swims free after Florida rehab, now followed by satellite
Cheers rose from a bundled-up crowd as a loggerhead sea turtle that survived a likely shark attack trundled back into the ocean after months of rehabilitation i...
Plant mothers send molecular 'text messages' to pollen
Small RNAs are short RNA molecules that help determine which genes in a cell are switched on or off. Until now, it was assumed that the small RNAs necessary for...
Changing land use can increase threat of animal‑to‑human disease spread
Changes to land use can directly heighten the risk of diseases spreading from animals to humans, new University of Stirling–led research has shown. The study, l...
Proton-trapping MNene transforms ammonia production for food security and economic growth
With a new electrochemical synthesis via an electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), achieving carbon-free ammonia production is closer to reality thr...
