“#Video: Flight over Korolev Crater on Mars” This movie was created using an image mosaic made from single orbit observations from the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Mars Express, which was first published in December 2018. The mosaic combines data from the HRSC nadir and colour channels; the nadir channel is aligned perpendicular to the…
“#Just add nano-materials for stronger, tougher diving fins” Underwater equipment specialist Alchemy teamed up with Adamant Composites to apply nano-materials to produce stronger, tougher composite material for diving fins. Credit: Alchemy Adding microscopic nano-materials to carbon fibre composites has resulted in stronger, tougher fins for divers. A space material company teamed up with a market…
“#The sun is setting on unsustainable long-haul, short-stay tourism, making regional travel bubbles the future” Credit: www.shutterstock.com Unprecedented border closures and the domestic lockdown have paralyzed New Zealand’s $40.9 billion a year tourism industry. In the process, the vulnerability of the sector to external shocks and the tenuous nature of tourism employment have been exposed….
“#Coronavirus: It is morally indefensible for a nation to keep life-saving drugs for itself” The world eagerly awaits new vaccines and drugs to combat COVID-19. To deal with a global pandemic, the production of new treatments needs to be scaled up towards supplying the whole world—and as quickly as possible. Borderless open and collaborative science…
“#Lockdown returns: Some ask how far coronavirus measures can go before infringing on human rights” Credit: CC0 Public Domain As of this morning, 10 “hot spot” postcodes in Melbourne’s suburbs have gone back into Stage 3 coronavirus lockdown. In these suburbs, stay-at-home restrictions will be enforced by police patrols, “booze bus”-style barriers and random checks…
“#Thermophones offer new route to radically simplify array design, research shows” The team of researchers used devices, known as thermophones, to create a fully controlled array from just a thin metal film attached to some metal wires. Credit: David Tatnell Scientists have pioneered a new technique to produce arrays of sound produced entirely by heat….
“#A three-dimensional phase diagram of heavy-fermion compound with coexisting quantum phases” Credit: Knafo et al. URu2Si2 is a metal that belongs to the family of heavy-fermion compounds in which several quantum phases (e.g., magnetism and superconductivity) can compete or coexist. These metals exhibit small energy scales that are easy to tune, a characteristic that makes…
“#Stimulating production of enzyme in roundworms found to increase lifespan” VRK-1 is a nuclear protein that increases worm life span. (A) VRK-1::GFP was localized in the cellular nuclei of multiple tissues including neurons (asterisks), intestine (arrowheads), and hypodermis (fig. S1B, arrows) at L2 larval stage. Nuclear DNA was stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; blue). See also…
“#Researchers visualize new states of ribosome translation with cryo-EM” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The stages in which ribosomes synthesize life-sustaining proteins have been revealed in unprecedented real-time detail by UMass Medical School structural biologists Andrei Korostelev, Ph.D., and Anna Loveland, Ph.D. Their new study of this fundamental molecular mechanism, captured using state-of-the-art, time-resolved, cryo-electron microscopy…
“#Researchers map law of variations in plant roots” Plant root strategies: Plant roots worldwide vary in their strategy for obtaining nutrients. Do-it-yourselfers have all their equipment on baord. Outsourcers form alliances with soil fungi in exchange for sugars. Credit: Wageningen University It has long been one of the best kept secrets in the underground world:…
