Unveiling Tasmania’s Fiery Past: The First Signs of Early Humans Shaping the Landscape with Fire

Some of the first human beings to arrive in Tasmania, over 41,000 years ago, used fire to shape and manage the landscape, about 2,000 years earlier than previously thought.

Impaired Protein Blueprint Editing Sparks Cellular Demise

An international research team has uncovered a new mechanism crucial to the production of cellular proteins. When this mechanism is disrupted, the blueprints used by the cell to produce proteins are inaccurately edited through a process called splicing. The study sheds light on how specific mutations may lead to the retinal disease retinitis pigmentosa. Importantly

The Vulnerability of Superbugs: Uncovering Their Achilles’ Heel

To stem the surging antibiotic resistance public health crisis, scientists seek solutions inside the mechanics of bacterial infection. A new study has found a vulnerability related to magnesium availability. This limitation potentially could be exploited to stop the spread of antibiotic resistance. Recent estimates indicate that deadly antibiotic-resistant infections will rapidly escalate over the next

Revolutionizing Fashion: The Squid-Inspired Fabric for Temperature-Regulating Apparel

admin -
Inspired by the dynamic color-changing properties of squid skin, researchers have developed a method to manufacture a heat-adjusting material that is breathable and washable and can be integrated into flexible fabric. The composite material operates in the infrared spectrum and consists of a polymer covered with copper islands. Stretching the material separates the islands and

Rising Prices Hinder the Adoption of Heat Pumps, Research Reveals

admin -
The high cost of installing heat pumps for home heating could slow down people widely adopting the technology and leave government targets missed, research suggests. There has been a little to no reduction in the average installation cost of the green heating systems over the past decade in the UK, a study shows. Although projections

Nanoparticles Revolutionize mRNA Therapy with Targeted Organ Delivery

admin -
Engineers have discovered a simple and inexpensive means of directing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the revolutionary molecules that delivered the COVID-19 vaccines, to target specific tissues, presaging a new era in personalized medicine and gene therapy. The key is making small changes to the chemical structure of LNPs, including the incorporation of siloxane, a chemical group

Research is heralding in a new era for genetic sequencing and testing. Research led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London is heralding in a new era for genetic sequencing and testing. In the largest study of its kind to date, published today in Nature Medicine, an international group of researchers led by Queen

Getting to zero emissions: A call for unified energy planning

admin -
To help speed decarbonization, state regulators should reconceive of gas and electric utilities as serving the same purpose, according to a new report. Without coordinated action, the energy transition could become slower, more expensive, and more inequitable, the authors warn. As competition between gas and electric utilities heats up due to clean energy-promoting policies that

Small Wonders: Revitalizing Japan’s Shrinking Cities

admin -
A researcher examined the nonlinear multidimensional factors that correlate with population changes according to city size. The results indicate that population changes correlated with the financial strength index as an economic-related factor in medium-sized cities. Aging societies and population decline have been on the rise globally, but in Japan, the situation has exasperated tenfold. A

XRISM Mission Unveils Fresh Insights into Supermassive Black Holes

Data from an international space mission is confirming decades worth of speculation about the galactic neighborhoods of supermassive black holes. Some of the first data from an international space mission is confirming decades worth of speculation about the galactic neighborhoods of supermassive black holes. More exciting than the data, though, is the fact that the

Researchers Discover Unique Light Absorption Traits in Achiral Materials

admin -
Researchers have made a discovery that changes what we know about light and materials. They found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called achiral plasmonic metasurfaces, can absorb light differently depending on the handedness of the wavefront of light. This was surprising because, for years, such materials were found to be indifferent to any optical probes

Revolutionary Imaging Method Paves the Way for Affordable Agricultural Quality Evaluation

admin -
Hyperspectral imaging is a useful technique for analyzing the chemical composition of food and agricultural products. However, it is a costly and complicated procedure, which limits its practical application. A team of researchers has developed a method to reconstruct hyperspectral images from standard RGB images using deep machine learning. Hyperspectral imaging is a useful technique

Enhancing Quantum Measurement Precision through Squeezing Techniques
