New research could unlock the potential of bladeless wind turbines
Insights from a new study could help unlock the full potential of a developing form of smaller-scale wind power generation, researchers say. Engineers from the University of Glasgow have used sophisticated computer simulations of bladeless wind turbines (BWTs) to identify for the first time how future generations of the technology could be built for maximum efficiency.
New model explains violent extremism
Psychology Jihadists and extremists on the far right may have something in common. Researchers have developed a model consisting of social and psychological factors that explain how violent extremism arises.
Bodybuilding in Ancient Times: How the Sea Anemone Got Its Back
A new study from the University of Vienna reveals that sea anemones use a molecular mechanism known from bilaterian animals to form their back-to-belly body axis. This mechanism ("BMP shuttling") enables cells to organize themselves during development by interpreting signaling gradients. The findings, published in Science Advances
How ’supergenes’ help fish evolve into new species
Researchers have found that chunks of 'flipped' DNA can help fish quickly adapt to new habitats and evolve into new species, acting as evolutionary 'superchargers'. Why are there so many different kinds of animals and plants on Earth? One of biology's big questions is how new species arise and how nature's incredible diversity came to be.
Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations
ISTA scientists formalize how amorphous solids learn nontrivial behaviors. Can we understand and predict how complex systems learn?
Big data from VetCompass reaffirms value of Pimobendan in management of canine heart disease
A new VetCompass study from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has confirmed the findings of previous studies, showing positive outcomes for pimobendan treatment in dogs with heart disease. The results - using a successful application of "target trial emulation," - showed pimobendan prescription within six months of a newly diagnosed grade IV/VI heart murmur in dogs delayed the onset of congestive heart failure (CHF) and improved survival compared to not prescribing the medication.
Spiders that vomit toxins on their prey
Certain species of non-venomous spiders, such as the Uloboridae, neutralize their prey by regurgitating toxins rather than biting them. This hunting technique enables them to immobilize other insects, as revealed by a study conducted by the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Lausanne and published in "BMC Biology".
Bacteria fight and feast with the same tool
Many types of bacteria produce a protein complex that injects toxins into neighbouring cells to eliminate competitors. For the first time, researchers at ETH Zurich and Eawag discovered that these killer bacteria also use this weapon to feed on their neighbours.
Climate change impacts on biological production in the Mediterranean Sea
In just over 20 years, the northward shift of the subtropical jet stream - a high-altitude airflow - caused by climate change has reduced primary production in the northwestern Mediterranean by about 40%.
Toward more efficient hydrogen production
Scientists at EPFL have unraveled the details of the first crucial step in the oxygen evolution reaction, a bottleneck for clean hydrogen production, using advanced simulations and machine learning techniques.
