Much research…
“#Newly observed phenomenon could lead to new quantum devices” Diagram depicts the different conditions that give rise to a Kohn anomaly in ordinary metals (at left), versus a material called a Weyl semimetal (at right). The vertical axis shows energy, while the horizontal axis is momentum space. In the conventional metal, a Kohn anomaly can…
“#How young embryos conduct quality control” Apoptosis of aneuploid cells in mosaic epiblast during implantation. Credit: Zernicka-Goetz laboratory The first few days of embryonic development are a critical point for determining the failure or success of a pregnancy. Because relatively few cells make up the embryo during this period, the health of each cell is…
“#Tiny sand grains trigger massive glacial surges” A surging glacier in the St. Elias Mountains, Canada. Credit: Gwenn Flowers About 10 percent of the Earth’s land mass is covered in glaciers, most of which slip slowly across the land over years, carving fjords and trailing rivers in their wake. But about 1 percent of glaciers…
“#Brazil drives increase in worldwide forest loss” Credit: SciDev.Net Primary forest destruction contributed carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to 400 million cars last year, as tree cover loss increased by 2.8 percent compared with 2018. Primary forests located in the tropics are especially important for carbon storage and global biodiversity. Last year the tropics lost 11.9…

These tactics are extremely costly and have failed to stamp out retail…
“#Disclosure of climate-related financial risks not enough to drive action” Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new Griffith University study cautions over-reliance on a financial disclosure framework for driving climate action. Published in Nature Climate Change, the study highlights that while important, financial disclosure frameworks do not themselves drive market change. It recommends the positive global…
“#Pollution in Asian tropopause layer comes from human activities and natural sources, study finds” The two transport pathways for aerosols. Credit: WU Xue The Asian Tropopause Aerosol Layer (ATAL) is a thin layer of aerosol with a thickness of about 3-4 km, which appears regularly at the height of the tropopause layer during the Asian…
“#At-home language skills development requires strong motivation, study shows” Credit: CC0 Public Domain The coronavirus pandemic was an unwelcome surprise to thousands of Erasmus students. However, high levels of foreign language proficiency and intercultural competence can also be acquired at home. A recent study shows that self-motivation, strategy and reflection are the driving forces for…
