Researchers identify human societal tipping points to rapidly cut carbon emissions, citing examples of road transport and power generation transitions. Small coalitions of countries could trigger upward-scaling cascades to achieve more, say experts.
Researchers at KAUST have developed a computational algorithm to simulate ferrofluid behavior, enabling more accurate predictions of the liquid's response to a magnet. By simulating only the surface layer of the ferrofluid, they were able to reduce computational complexity and accurately reproduce complex spike patterns.
Researchers explore co-culture strategies to activate silent gene clusters in microorganisms, leading to the discovery of novel bioactive natural products with diverse and novel structures. These compounds exhibit various bioactivities, including extensive antimicrobial activities and potential cytotoxic activities.
A new study on Megalodon's reproductive biology sheds light on its growth and life expectancy. Researchers found that the shark gave live birth to babies larger than most adult humans, which likely fed on unhatched eggs in the womb.
Researchers at POSTECH developed a new liquid metal ink that can withstand harsh deformation and maintain electrical conductivity, enabling the creation of flexible electronics. The ink was successfully printed on various substrates, displaying negligible resistance changes even when stretched up to 500%.
The parasitic dinoflagellate Hematodinium infects marine crustaceans globally, resulting in mortalities due to organ malfunction. The pathogen has developed into an emerging epidemic threat to China's sustainable crab culture and wild populations.
