Emerald ash borer can survive polar vortex
Winters on the Canadian prairies can be brutally cold, but researchers at Western University and Natural Resources Canada have found that even a freezing polar vortex poses little problem for the invasive emerald ash borer......»»
Researchers devise a new way to control "3D" effects in chemical reactions
Researchers have observed steric effects—the interactions of molecules depending on their spatial orientation (not just between their electrons involved in bonding)—in a chemical reaction involving non-polar molecules for the first time. The brea.....»»

Observers explore the eclipsing polar BS Tri
Russian astronomers have performed spectroscopic and photometric observations of a peculiar eclipsing polar known as BS Tri. Result of this observational campaign, presented in a paper published December 23 on arXiv.org, shed more light on the proper.....»»
Perseverant bacteria challenge antibacterial treatment
Bacterial perseverance is a new phenomenon that helps explain how bacteria adapt to survive antibiotic treatments. A group of researchers at Uppsala University have studied how individual bacteria react when exposed to different antibiotics. The resu.....»»
High efficiency vortex beam generation without alignment center
The PBG group of Department of physics, Fudan University, recently proposed a method using a reflective photonic crystal slab to generate vortex with high conversion efficiency and without an alignment center......»»
Canadian polar bears near "bear capital" dying at fast rate

How wildlife in ponds has evolved to survive frozen water—and how you can help more animals stay alive
When filled with ice-skaters or a clumsy Bambi on a Christmas card, a frozen pond is a merry sight. But spare a thought for the living things trapped below. The aerial wizardry of dragonflies and summer sculling of pond skaters are long gone. As the.....»»
Could life survive on frigid exo-Earths? Maybe under ice sheets
Our understanding of habitability relies entirely on the availability of liquid water. All life on Earth needs it, and there's every indication that life elsewhere needs it, too......»»
Testing the stress levels of rescued koalas allows us to tweak their care so more survive in the wild
Koalas have adapted to Australia's rugged terrains. But bushfires, land clearing and other extreme threats can mean they suffer prolonged stress—and this has a significant effect on their wellbeing......»»
Study examines what microorganisms on Mars would need to survive
No life has yet been found on Mars, but it is exciting to explore the circumstances under which it might be possible. A team led by the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) with the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (.....»»
Evolution of bat wings and calls through "foraging syndromes" allows diversity to flourish
Bats are an evolutionary success story. With approximately 1,400 species living today, they thrive in every environment except the polar regions......»»
