Plastics causing multi-organ damage in seabirds
New research shows that the presence of plastics in seabirds can induce multiple organ and tissue damage affecting the entire body in a multitude of ways, not just limited to the stomach as previously assumed......»»
Seed burial by wind is most difficult on a substrate consisting mainly of medium-sized particles, researchers say
A soil seed bank provides diaspores for plant population recruitment and is vital for species diversity maintenance and plant community assembly. The formation of a soil seed bank involves three key processes: seed dispersal, seed settlement and seed.....»»
Team develops biocompatible adhesive applicable to hair transplants
Medical adhesives are materials that can be applied to various uses such as wound healing, hemostasis, vascular anastomosis, and tissue engineering, and they are expected to contribute greatly to the development of minimally invasive surgery and orga.....»»
Decoding how plants survive drought
National University of Singapore biologists have revealed how plants suppress the formation of stomata, the microscopic pores on their surface, to limit water loss during drought conditions......»»
Metal-organic frameworks behave like enzymes in catalysis
The construction of substrate-specific nanopockets in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with allosteric effects has been demonstrated to facilitate the formation of the transition state in catalytic reactions, as enzymes do......»»
Some everyday materials have memories, and now they can be erased
Some solid materials have a memory of how they have previously been stretched out, which impacts how they respond to these kinds of deformations in the future. A new Penn State study lends insight into memory formation in the foams and emulsions comm.....»»
Mechanical sensors help coordinate cell organization during eye development
In a surprising discovery with important implications for developmental biology and regenerative medicine, RIKEN biologists have learned how mechanical forces guide the formation of the eyes in chick embryos. Their research is published in Science Ad.....»»
Coronavirus formation is successfully modeled
A physicist at the University of California, Riverside, and her former graduate student have successfully modeled the formation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that spreads COVID-19, for the first time......»»
Researchers identify mechanism responsible for temperature and salinity "staircases" in Arctic Ocean
Researchers at the University of Toronto have identified the mechanism responsible for the formation of temperature and salinity "staircases" in the Arctic Ocean, resolving a mystery that has confounded oceanographers and climatologists alike for mor.....»»
Extra Hard Space Diamonds May Have Formed in an Ancient Cosmic Collision
A new formation method for rare “lonsdaleite” diamonds may illuminate a better way to produce them on Earth.....»»
New endoscope uses bendable GRIN lens for 3D microscopy
Researchers have created a flexible needle-like endoscopic imaging probe that can acquire 3D microscopic images of tissue. The bendability is possible thanks to a new flexible graded index (GRIN) lens developed by the researchers......»»

Solvent effect on film formation and device performance for 2D Dion-Jacobson perovskite solar cells
Quasi two-dimensional perovskite solar cells (2D PSCs) have received much attention recently due to their unique optoelectronic properties and excellent device stability. Among 2D perovskite, 2D Dion-Jacobson (DJ) perovskite has closer interlayer dis.....»»
It"s a planet: New evidence of baby planet in the making
Astronomers agree that planets are born in protoplanetary disks—rings of dust and gas that surround young, newborn stars. While hundreds of these disks have been spotted throughout the universe, observations of actual planetary birth and formation.....»»
