New way to tackle cancer cells

Лип 3 2017

Scientists have introduced, for the first time, the organelle-localized self-assembly of a peptide amphiphile as a powerful strategy for controlling cellular fate.

Боязнь нового более свойственна стрессированным косулям

Лип 3 2017

Исследование поведения европейских косуль (Capreolus capreolus) в неволе показало, что у этих животных неофобия (боязнь нового) связана с рядом других индивидуальных особенностей поведения. Особи, опасающиеся новых, незнакомых предметов, оказались более стрессированными и менее эмоциональными.

Record laser on chip created

Лип 3 2017

Researchers have developed the world’s most narrowband diode laser on a chip. This laser represents a breakthrough in the fast-growing field of photonics, and will bring applications like 5G internet and accurate GPS closer.

How insect outbreaks affect forests and bats

Лип 3 2017

New research indicates that bark beetle outbreaks in forests create several new roosting and foraging possibilities for the protected bat species Barbastella barbastellus. For example, maternity colonies of B. barbastellus were found beneath bark of beetle-killed spruces. Also, hunting activity of B. barbastellus increased with more extensive canopy opening due to bark beetles.

Two knees or not two knees: The curious case of the ostrich's double kneecap

Лип 3 2017

Ostriches are the only animals in the world to have a double-kneecap, but its purpose remains an evolutionary mystery. One of the authors said, "understanding more about different kneecap configurations in different animals could help to inform prosthesis design, surgical interventions, and even robots with better joints."

Under pressure: Extreme atmosphere stripping may limit exoplanets' habitability

Лип 3 2017

New models of massive stellar eruptions hint at an extra layer of complexity when considering whether an exoplanet may be habitable or not. Models developed for our own Sun have now been applied to cool stars favored by exoplanet hunters.
