Lifesaver for wild bees: the importance of quarries
Connectivity and maintenance measures support wild bees in limestone quarries. A research team at the University of Göttingen, Germany's Nature And Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) in Rhede, and the Thünen Institute in Braunschweig has investigated the importance of limestone quarries for wild bee conservation.
Milestone in Defining Electrical Units
Scientists at the University of Würzburg and the German national metrology institute (PTB) have carried out an experiment that realizes a new kind of quantum standard of resistance. It's based on the Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect.
AI Helps Researchers Dig Through Old Maps to Find Lost Oil and Gas Wells
Key Takeaways. Experts estimate there are hundreds of thousands of oil and gas wells in the United States that are not formally documented or owned. Undocumented oil and gas wells can potentially leak chemicals into the water and air, including methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
3 Questions: Community policing in the Global South
International research co-led by Professor Fotini Christia finds an approach lauded in the US works differently in other regions.
’Chemical metronome’ helps the brain to keep time
Researchers uncover a 'chemical metronome' in the brain, which helps to synchronise the master clock telling us when it's time to sleeep.
A new theory on the origin of water
A team of astronomers has identified a potential new mechanism for bringing water to Earth, offering a promising departure from previous theories. Based on numerous observations of the Solar System, as well as observations of extrasolar debris disks by the ALMA radio telescope, the results are published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics .
A keener eye for the invisible
From smart textiles to self-driving cars: researchers are developing new types of detectors for infrared radiation that are more sustainable, flexible and cost-effective than conventional technologies. The key to success is not (only) the composition of the material, but also its size.
Researchers deal a blow to theory that Venus once had liquid water on its surface
A team of astronomers has found that Venus has never been habitable, despite decades of speculation that our closest planetary neighbour was once much more like Earth than it is today.
1,100 km in Antarctica to better understand the evolution of the ice cap
From early December 2024 until mid-January 2025, a series of observation systems will be deployed by the AWACA Autonomous and capable of operating continuously for three years in extreme weather cond
70% of young people with long Covid recover within two years
Most young people who were confirmed to have long Covid three months after a positive PCR test had recovered within 24 months, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.
CRISPR-Cas technology: balancing efficiency and safety
Researchers have uncovered a serious side effect of using the CRISPR-Cas gene scissors. A molecule designed to make the process more efficient destroys parts of the genome.
A new way to create realistic 3D shapes using generative AI
Researchers propose a simple fix to an existing technique that could help artists, designers, and engineers create better 3D models.
Animal products improve child nutrition in Africa
A study by the University of Bonn and the CABI Centre in Kenya shows that milk, eggs and fish are good for child development.
Decoding protein interactions: A step toward personalized medicine
Understanding how proteins interact is essential to decoding cellular processes and communication. In a groundbreaking study, researchers at the Friedrich Miescher Institute (FMI) have explored how every possible mutation in a protein affects its ability to bind with its partners, shedding light on how mutations influence cellular functions and the evolution of proteins.
The social status of an AI influences its acceptance
How do people evaluate the performance of an AI system? New research results from a group of sociologists at the University of Lucerne show that even non-human actors are subject to social prejudices.
New datasets will train AI models to think like scientists
What can exploding stars teach us about how blood flows through an artery' Or swimming bacteria about how the ocean's layers mix' A collaboration of researchers, including from the University of Cambr
