Biology Disordered Interfacial Water Boosts Electrochemical C–C Coupling In the relentless pursuit to combat climate change, the electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and carbon monoxide (CO) into value-added, energy-rich multi-carbon products has emerged as a beacon of hope. These processes promise not only to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions but also to create sustainable fuel alternatives that could revolutionize the energy landscape. However, […] Written by Bioengineer August 6, 2025August 6, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Environmental Science Leveraging Next-Generation Tsunami Early Warning Systems to Save Lives – State of the Planet Damage from the March 2011 tsunami in downtown Ofunato, Japan. Photo: U.S. Navy When an enormous 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, the impact reached far beyond its epicenter. In the passing hours, tsunami alerts were issued by several nations with coastlines along the Pacific Ocean’s Ring of Fire, prompting evacuations and escalating […] Written by Guest August 6, 2025August 6, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences Crushing vs. Slashing: New skull scans reveal how giant dinosaurs killed A new analysis of the bite strength of 18 species of carnivorous dinosaurs shows that while the Tyrannasaurus rex skull was optimized for quick, strong bites like a crocodile, other giant, predatory dinosaurs that walked on two legs — including spinosaurs and allosaurs — had much weaker bites and instead specialized in slashing and ripping […] Written by Admin August 6, 2025August 6, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences Scientists reexamine 47-year-old fossil and discover a new Jurassic sea monster Paleontologists have identified a new species of ancient marine reptile from Germany’s world-renowned Posidonia Shale fossil beds, expanding our understanding of prehistoric ocean ecosystems that existed nearly 183 million years ago. The newly classified species, named Plesionectes longicollum (“long-necked near-swimmer”), represents a previously unknown type of plesiosauroid — the group of long-necked marine reptiles that […] Written by Admin August 5, 2025August 5, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biology Arc spreads Crumbs: Spatial restriction of tissue invagination to form a thin epithelial tube In this issue, Kim et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202409078) report that the scaffold protein Arc acts through Crumbs to spatially restrict where actomyosin-based apical constriction occurs across the invaginating Drosophila salivary gland. This restriction is needed for a long, thin tube to form. Written by Admin August 4, 2025August 4, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Biotechnology Advancing Microplastic Quantification with NMR Spectroscopy In the ever-evolving battle against plastic pollution, researchers are turning to increasingly sophisticated analytical techniques to quantify and characterize microplastics. A groundbreaking study published in Microplastics & Nanoplastics offers compelling evidence that nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy could transform the way scientists detect and measure these pervasive contaminants. By leveraging the nuanced molecular insights provided […] Written by Bioengineer August 3, 2025August 3, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences 700,000 years ahead of their teeth: The carbs that made us human As early humans spread from lush African forests into grasslands, their need for ready sources of energy led them to develop a taste for grassy plants, especially grains and the starchy plant tissue hidden underground. But a new Dartmouth-led study shows that hominins began feasting on these carbohydrate-rich foods before they had the ideal teeth […] Written by Admin August 3, 2025August 3, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
