Earlier this month, within a timeframe of less than 24 hours, a team of postgraduate and current students at the Columbia Climate School and the National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) worked through the night to develop and submit their entry for an international competition known as the U.N. Foresight Sprint. Part of the Global […]

Climate change and habitat loss are affecting animal populations around the world and reptiles such as South Australia’s own endangered pygmy bluetongue are susceptible to higher temperatures and declining long-term rainfall trends. Flinders University scientists are working on securing a sustainable future for the burrow-dwelling endemic skink (Tiliqua adelaidensis) by assessing their suitability to cooler […]

The Cajal body (CB) is a conserved non-membrane nuclear structure where several steps of small nuclear RNP particle (snRNP) biogenesis take place. It has been proposed that CB formation follows a liquid–liquid phase separation model, but this hypothesis has never been rigorously tested. Here, we applied live-cell imaging to show that the key CB assembly […]

Researchers have discovered two new viruses in bats that are closely related to the deadly Nipah and Hendra viruses — pathogens that can cause severe brain inflammation and respiratory disease in humans. The viruses, as well as other new viruses, bacteria, and parasites identified from bat kidneys, were reported this week in the open-access journal […]

In the rapidly advancing domain of photonics and metamaterials, researchers continually seek novel pathways to manipulate light with precision and efficiency unachievable by conventional means. A groundbreaking study published in Light: Science & Applications by Ahmed, Qi, and Chen heralds a significant leap forward in our understanding and engineering of metasurfaces, focusing on the integration […]

A recent climate initiative by the Norwegian government is facing opposition from the Saami Indigenous people, whose territories are directly affected. The proposed 54-kilometer power line would be built by the state-owned energy company Equinor in the northernmost portion of the country, well above the Arctic Circle. The Saami believe their rights to cultural preservation […]

Penn-led researchers have turned a deadly fungus into a potent cancer-fighting compound. After isolating a new class of molecules from Aspergillus flavus, a toxic crop fungus linked to deaths in the excavations of ancient tombs, the researchers modified the chemicals and tested them against leukemia cells. The result? A promising cancer-killing compound that rivals FDA-approved […]
