The genetic underpinnings of plumage for Eurasian white wagtails
For birds, simple does not always equal simple—and that difference can create interesting variations in plumage, according to new findings from University of Colorado Boulder researchers and their colleagues......»»
Photonic Berry curvature in double liquid crystal microcavities with broken inversion symmetry
Researchers at Skoltech and their colleagues proposed a photonic device from two optical resonators with liquid crystals inside them to study optical properties of this system that can be useful for future generations of optoelectronic and spinoptron.....»»
Why Business Agility Doesn’t Work Like Agile Software Development
Without making a deliberate effort to understand the intricacies of our colleagues’ work, we put an entire Agile transformation at risk. Continue reading........»»
Key factor identified that makes worms feel full after a good meal
In nematode worms, a key controller allows the worm to sense when it needs food and when it feels full, and then changes its behavior accordingly. Jennifer Tullet of the University of Kent and colleagues report these new findings in a paper published.....»»
