Model calculates energetics of piercing fangs, claws and other biological weapons
Researchers have created a model that can calculate the energetics involved when one organism stabs another with its fangs, thorns, spines or other puncturing parts. Because the model can be applied to a variety of organisms, it will help scientists.....»»
Resolving biology"s dark matter: DNA barcoding reveals hidden insect diversity

Physicists report emergence of ferromagnetism at onset of Kondo breakdown in moiré bilayer lattices
Moiré superlattices are materials consisting of two layers stacked on top of each other with either a small rotational misalignment or a lattice mismatch between them. The Kondo lattice model, on the other hand, describes systems in which conduction.....»»
Researchers develop database for catalytic bioparts with experimental evidence
Catalytic bioparts are fundamental to the design, construction and optimization of biological systems for specific metabolic pathways. A research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has recently developed a Registry and Database of Biopar.....»»
Understanding landslides: A new model for predicting motion
Along coastal California, the possibility of earthquakes and landslides is commonly prefaced by the phrase, "not if, but when." This precarious reality is now a bit more predictable thanks to researchers at UC Santa Cruz and The University of Texas a.....»»
