“#Study of kelp in New Zealand reveals earthquake history” Credit: CC0 Public Domain A team of researchers at the University of Otago in New Zealand has found that studying the genes of kelp growing offshore can reveal some of the earthquake history of a given area. In their paper published in the journal Proceedings of…
“#A new species of darkling beetle larvae that degrade plastic” Credit: Pohang University of Science & Technology (POSTECH) An enormous plastic garbage island exists in the North Pacific that is seven times the size of the Korean Peninsula. The island, called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, is the result of 13 million tons of plastic…
“#Specialized cellular compartments discovered in bacteria” Escherichia coli. Credit: Rocky Mountain Laboratories, NIAID, NIH Researchers at McGill University have discovered bacterial organelles involved in gene expression, suggesting that bacteria may not be as simple as once thought. This finding could offer new targets for the development of new antibiotics. The study, published in Proceedings of…
“#New research reveals antifungal symbiotic peptide in legume” A peptide-based antifungal agent (three-dimensional structure shown in the upper right corner), when fluorescently labeled with red dye and visualized using confocal-microscopy, becomes dispersed in the cytoplasm and accumulates in the nucleolus of a common plant fungal pathogen, Botrytis cinerea. Calcofuor white (cyan) was used to stain…
“#How smart, ultrathin nanosheets go fishing for proteins” The protein complex to be examined (yellow) is attached to the smart nanosheet via a nickel complex with the aid of a marker (red chain with pentagons). Unwanted proteins (gray) are repelled by the hydrogel (black grid). After freezing the entire structure, including a thin film of…
“#Q&A: Toward a new way of producing solar cells” Credit: University of Luxembourg Physicists from the University of Luxembourg together with international scientists have investigated the oxidation process of solar cell materials whose results could change the current way of producing solar cells. The study has been published in the renowned journal Nature Communications in…
“#A mechanical way to stimulate neurons” A scanning electron microscope image of cultured neural cells shows the team’s newly developed nanodiscs (colored area) arrayed along the cell surface, where they can exert enough force to trigger a response. Credit: Massachusetts Institute of Technology In addition to responding to electrical and chemical stimuli, many of the…
“#China blows up dam in eastern province to ease flood risk” The Guanyinge temple, a 700-year old structure built on a rock in the Yangtze River in Wuhan, is surrounded by flood water Chinese authorities blew up part of a dam in eastern Anhui province to relieve flood pressure, local media reported, as heavy rains…
“#World facing bankruptcy time bomb: study” Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Governments around the world are scrambling to save companies battered by coronavirus lockdowns but the world is nevertheless facing a massive surge in bankruptcies by a third, a study conducted by a trade insurance firm said Monday. “COVID-19 is creating an insolvency time bomb,” said…
“#Dogs may use Earth’s magnetic field to navigate” Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A team of researchers from Czech University of Life Sciences, Virginia Tech and Barry University has found evidence that suggests dogs may use Earth’s magnetic field as a navigational aid. In their paper in the eLife Sciences initiative, the group describes their study…
