“#Future space travelers may follow cosmic lighthouses” An image of NICER on the exterior of the space station with one of the station’s solar panels in the background. Credit: NASA For centuries, lighthouses helped sailors navigate safely into harbor. Their lights swept across the water, cutting through fog and darkness, guiding mariners around dangerous obstacles…
“#A Metal-like quantum gas: A pathbreaking platform for quantum simulation” Fig. 1. Schematic of the metal-like quantum gas. Credit: NINS/IMS Electronic properties of condensed matter are often determined by an intricate competition between kinetic energy that aims to overlap and delocalize electronic wave functions across the crystal lattice, and localizing electron-electron interactions. In contrast, the…
“#Extremely low thermal conductivity in 1-D soft chain structure” (a) The thermal conductivity as function of temperature. Insert is the chain structure of BiSeI. (b) The morphology of wire shape chains in 1D BiSeI. Credit: ©Science China Press Researchers have reported a new type of simple one-dimensional (1-D) crystal structured bismuth selenohalides (BiSeX, X =…
“#Super-resolution microscopy reveals a twist inside of cells” Credit: CC0 Public Domain If you want to understand the underlying mechanisms of cellular motility and division, then the centriole is the organelle of interest. Each cell has a pair of centrioles which help to segregate chromosomes during cell division. These special organelles are multi-molecular machines composed…
“#Pioneering research reveals certain human genes relate to gut bacteria” A bacterial culture taken from fecal sample. Credit: Chloe Russell, as featured in her book Up Your A-Z An Encyclopedia On Gut Bacteria The role genetics and gut bacteria play in human health has long been a fruitful source of scientific enquiry, but new research…
“#COVID-19 lockdown reveals human impact on wildlife” Movebank data worldmap. Credit: MPIAB/ MaxCine In an article published in Nature Ecology & Evolution today, the leaders of a new global initiative explain how research during this devastating health crisis can inspire innovative strategies for sharing space on this increasingly crowded planet, with benefits for both wildlife…
“#Experimentally identifying effective theories in many-body systems” Experimental setup at the Kirchhoff Institute for Physics at Heidelberg University. Credit: Alexis Bonnin One goal of science is to find physical descriptions of nature by studying how basic system components interact with one another. For complex many-body systems, effective theories are frequently used to this end. They…
“#Satellites have drastically changed how we forecast hurricanes” Credit: CC0 Public Domain The powerful hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas on September 8, 1900, killing an estimated 8,000 people and destroying more than 3,600 buildings, took the coastal city by surprise. The accompanying video looks at advances in hurricane forecasting in the 120 years since, with…
“#Tsetse flytraps: Biotechnology for Africa’s rural population” Credit: CC0 Public Domain The tsetse fly occurs in large regions of sub-Saharan Africa. The flies feed on human and animal blood, transmitting trypanosoma in the process—small, single-cell organisms that use the flies as intermediate host and cause a dangerous inflammation of the lymph and nervous system in…
“#Student discovers 18 new species of aquatic beetle in South America” Rachel Smith collects aquatic beetles along a river margin in Suriname. Credit: Andrew Short It would be striking for a seasoned entomologist with decades of fieldwork to discover such a large number of species unknown to science. But for University of Kansas student Rachel…
