Growth before photosynthesis: how trees regulate their water balance
Growth before photosynthesis: how trees regulate their water balance
In order for trees to grow, they need to control their water balance meticulously. A study by the University of Basel shows how trees react to drought - and revises previous perceptions. Plants have small pores on the underside of their leaves, known as stomata. When the sun rises, these pores open and the plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, which they need, in addition to sunlight and water, for photosynthesis.

Researchers delve into incels’ rejection of work and study
McGill researchers' analysis of online forum conversations finds that some incels offer an ideological rationale for not working or studying, one reinforced by peer pressure The critically acclaimed Netflix drama Adolescence has put a spotlight on the culture and ideas of incels (involuntary celibates), an online subculture of people (mostly male and heterosexual), who define themselves as unable to find a romantic or sexual partner, largely due to their perceived unattractiveness.

The Antarctic water puzzle - how flooding contributes to ice melt
The Antarctic water puzzle - how flooding contributes to ice melt
Hidden beneath the Antarctic ice lies a system of lakes and watercourses. An research team, including researchers, has for the first time directly observed the subglacial streams of West Antarctica. Their study shows how individual flood events influence the melting of the ice. In the autumn of 2021, an international team of researchers from New Zealand's Antarctic Science Platform set off towards the South Pole.

Climate plans cities often inconsistent
A new study reveals that nearly 70% of climate adaptation plans in European cities contain significant inconsistencies, severely limiting their effectiveness in addressing rising climate risks. "As Europe warms twice as fast as other continents, this 'adaptation gap' poses growing threats to the 75% of Europeans who live in cities", says UT researcher and lead author Diana Reckien.

Universe decays faster than thought, but still takes a long time
Universe decays faster than thought, but still takes a long time
The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three scientists at Radboud University on the so-called Hawking radiation. They calculate that the last stellar remnants take about 10^78 years (a 1 with 78 zeros) to perish. That is much shorter than the previously postulated 10^1100 years (a 1 with 1100 zeros).

Researchers highlight disparities in ’aging in place’ 
Study delved into the social factors that influence whether older adults are able to remain in their homes and communities  While health status is an important factor in whether a person is able to grow old in their home and community (age in place), researchers at McGill University have shed new light on the social factors that can also have an impact, both directly and through their impact on health over a lifetime.

First evidence of mother-offspring attachment types in wild chimpanzees
First evidence of mother-offspring attachment types in wild chimpanzees
To the point Mother-offspring attachment in the wild: Wild chimpanzees develop secure or insecure-avoidant attachments to their mothers, but not disorganised attachments, suggesting that it is not a viable survival strategy in the wild. Attachment types: Chimpanzees with secure attachment are confident, while those with insecure-avoidant attachment are more independent.

Understanding which proteins work together
Understanding which proteins work together
Teamwork is crucial for proteins. Little is known, however, about which protein teams are actually active in which tissues. A new large-scale study by systems biologists at ETH Zurich is now redrawing the map. The human body and its organs are composed of a wide variety of cell types. Although all cells contain the same genes, they function very differently - partly because protein interactions differ between cells.

A step towards understanding machine intelligence the human way
A step towards understanding machine intelligence the human way
Researchers have discovered key 'units' in large AI models that seem to be important for language, mirroring the brain's language system. When these specific units were turned off, the models got much worse at language tasks. Large Language Models (LLMs) are not just good at understanding and using language, they can also reason or think logically, solve problems and some can even predict the thoughts, beliefs or emotions of people they interact with.

New insights into the energy balance of nerve cells in the brain
New insights into the energy balance of nerve cells in the brain
A research team at the Carl Ludwig Institute of Physiology at Leipzig University has shown for the first time how the energy content of individual nerve cells in the brain changes during so-called depolarization waves, waves of activity that occur in various brain diseases. The results provide an important basis for understanding the energy metabolism in the event of an acute lack of blood flow, such as occurs in strokes.

Early galaxies contribute to the ’afterglow’ of the universe
Data from the University of Bonn call into question the standard model of cosmology The "afterglow" of the universe is an important piece of evidence for the Big Bang. This background radiation also provides important answers to the question of how the first galaxies were able to form. Researchers at the Universities of Bonn, Prague and Nanjing calculate that the strength of this radiation has probably been overestimated up to now.

Internal Clocks Determine the Ups and Downs of Antarctic Krill
Internal Clocks Determine the Ups and Downs of Antarctic Krill
The behavior of Antarctic krill not only reacts to external environmental influences such as light or food. It also uses its internal clock to adapt to the extreme conditions of the polar environment. Individually, Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ) do not make much of an impression. With a maximum body length of six centimetres, a weight of just two grams and its transparent skin, it does not look very spectacular.

500-million-year-old ancient fossil mystery solved by scientists
A new study led by our Earth Sciences department has made a surprising discovery about a mysterious fossil from the Cambrian period - over 500 million years ago. The fossil, Shishania aculeata , was originally thought to be an early mollusc, a group that includes snails and clams. But new research shows that it is actually a sponge-like animal known as a chancelloriid.
