This genetic breakthrough could help thousands of species cheat extinction

Gene editing technologies — such as those used in agriculture and de-extinction projects — can be repurposed to offer what an international team of scientists is calling a transformative solution for restoring genetic diversity and saving endangered species. In a new Nature Reviews Biodiversity Perspective article published on July 18, the authors explore the promises, […]

Teen bats are spawning new viruses—here’s why scientists are paying close attention

New research by the University of Sydney offers important insights into how and when new coronavirus variants arise in bats. Bats are beneficial to our ecosystems and economy but, as habitat destruction and environmental stressors put them in closer proximity to humans, disease risks can emerge. The research, published in Nature Communications on July 17, […]

Additive Manufacturing of Monolithic Gyroidal Solid Oxide Cells

In a transformative leap that challenges longstanding constraints in energy conversion technology, researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking design paradigm for solid oxide cells (SOCs) that dramatically enhances their efficiency, durability, and structural integration. Traditional SOCs, fundamental devices capable of interconverting chemical energy and electricity at high temperatures, have been largely limited by planar, two-dimensional (2D) […]

The heatwave that shattered ecosystems, starved whales, and drove fish north

New research from the University of Victoria (UVic) highlights how marine heatwaves can dramatically impact marine ecosystems and offers a stark preview of how future ocean warming will reshape ocean life. From 2014 to 2016, the Pacific coast of North America experienced the longest marine heatwave ever recorded, with temperatures reaching two to six degrees […]

New study cracks the “tissue code” — just five rules shape organs

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells — and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute and the University of Delaware believe they’ve found an answer. In a new study published in the scientific journal Biology of […]
