“#Use of forests to offset carbon emissions requires an understanding of the risks” Increasing climate-driven disturbance risk over time has major impacts on forest carbon. Conceptual diagram of stationary/constant (top) versus non-stationary/increasing (bottom) permanence risks from disturbance at a landscape scale in a changing climate. Disturbance risks are illustrated via circles and include fire, drought,…
“#Achievement isn’t why more men are majoring in physics, engineering and computer science” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain While some STEM majors have a one-to-one male-to-female ratio, physics, engineering and computer science (PECS) majors consistently have some of the largest gender imbalances among U.S. college majors—with about four men to every woman in the major. In…
“#Forest loss escalates biodiversity change” A deforested area. Credit: Malkolm Boothroyd New international research reveals the far-reaching impacts of forest cover loss on global biodiversity. The research, led by the University of Edinburgh and the University of St Andrews, investigated the impacts of forest loss on species and biodiversity over time and around the world,…
“#Natural fluid injections triggered Cahuilla earthquake swarm” Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A naturally occurring injection of underground fluids drove a four-year-long earthquake swarm near Cahuilla, California, according to a new seismological study that utilizes advances in earthquake monitoring with a machine-learning algorithm. In contrast to mainshock/aftershock sequences, where a large earthquake is followed by many…
“#Researchers create a photographic film of a molecular switch” Molecular structure of the photo-responsive molecular switch (in the center) surrounded by solvent molecules. The scientists revealed a light-induced pedalo-type motion, which goes both forward and backward. The image is on the cover of the print edition of the journal, which was published today (June 18)….
“#Vapor fix lifts up perovskite crystal performance” The new bromine vapor treatment enhances the transport properties of MAPbBr3 crystals. In this treatment, the researchers suspended the crystals above in a sealed container holding liquid bromine kept at room temperature.

“#Researchers identify key steps in development of kidneys” Credit: CC0 Public Domain The discovery of how certain key structures in the kidneys are formed could have important implications for treating renal fibrosis (or scarring), a feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to a new study by a researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). Interestingly,…
“#Researchers make next-generation, high-toughness battery component” Research shows that graphene (rGO) can help prevent the propagation of cracks in ceramic materials used for battery electrolytes. Credit: Brown University A team of Brown University researchers has found a way to double the toughness of a ceramic material used to make solid-state lithium ion batteries. The strategy,…
“#New Argentine fossils uncover history of celebrated conifer group” Leaf litter from an Australasian-type Araucaria growing at the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, California. Pictured are the three types of tree organs, leafy branches, pollen cones and cone scales that are preserved as fossils at Laguna del Hunco and Río Pichileufú,…
“#Mapping microbiomes to improve food quantity, quality and safety” Credit: marekuliasz, Shutterstock Thanks to its key role in development, immunity and nutrition, the microbiome—the genetic material of all microorganisms that live in the human body—has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. The gut microbiome in particular, and how it affects overall health, has…
