<description><![CDATA[ A flesh-eating parasitic fly has spread north through Mexico to within a few hundred miles of the U.S. southern border. The New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) lays its eggs in open wounds and in the orifices of live, warm-blooded animals—including, occasionally, humans. The maggots then devour the animal&#039;s flesh, causing devastating lesions that can quickly kill the infested host. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/gut-bacteria-may-influence-social-behavior-through-smell</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a new study, Northwestern University neurobiologists discovered that gut bacteria and the nose work together to shape social behavior in mice, including who fights and who backs down. Using a combination of genetic and behavioral experiments, the scientists found gut microbes produce a pungent odor that other animals can smell. When detected, these scents trigger aggression and shape social hierarchies. The discovery reveals a previously unknown way the microbiome influences social interactions. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Biomolecular condensates are tiny, droplet-like structures made up of molecules that help organize key processes in living organisms. Because they are so small and constantly changing, it has been difficult for scientists to measure their physical properties or control how they behave. Leiden researchers at the Mashaghi Lab have now discovered a surprising new way to shape and control tiny droplets of molecules found in living organisms. The breakthrough could lead to smarter biomaterials, improve drug delivery and even new insights into the emergence of life on Earth. The work is published in Nature Communications. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/into-the-fungal-unknown-new-tool-maps-fungal-gene-functions-without-reference-genomes</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ While RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become a standard tool for profiling which genes are active in an organism, determining the actual biological functions of those genes in fungi remains a significant technical challenge. Most existing software tools are designed to cover a broad range of species, often lacking the specificity required for the unique genetic landscape of fungi. Furthermore, many non-model fungal species lack the high-quality reference genomes that traditional analysis methods rely on. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ University of Exeter scientists studied chemical communication by phages (viruses that infect bacteria). The phages assessed in the study have two choices when they enter a cell: lie dormant or kill the cell and release new virus particles to infect other cells nearby. It was recently discovered that some phages use chemical communication systems to optimize this decision. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ We are continually in an evolutionary arms race with bacteria. As we develop new antibiotics, they develop resistance, and so it goes on until some of our treatments no longer work. Superbugs and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are a huge global health problem. So what do you do when your medicines are ineffective? The answer for some researchers is to build their own biological weapons. A team including experts from the University of Oxford in the UK has developed a way to create specialized cells that hunt down and kill drug-resistant germs. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Asparagus is one of the most labor-intensive crops on the market. Harvesting demands extreme precision—the terrain is uneven, and the stalks are thin and of varying length. These challenges inhibit automation, leading to currently available harvesting robots being too slow and inefficient. Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a robot prototype that detects and localizes ripe green asparagus while moving at a commercially attractive speed. Further testing is planned to develop the harvesting ability of the robot. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/study-reveals-mechanisms-underlying-oxygen-tolerant-energy-conversion-in-a-marine-photosynthetic-bacterium</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Photosynthetic bacteria do not release oxygen during photosynthesis but can convert solar energy into chemical energy with remarkably high efficiency. They also utilize near-infrared light—wavelengths unused by plants—and thrive in diverse environments, including freshwater, seawater, and hot springs. Among these organisms, the marine purple nonsulfur bacterium Rhodovulum sulfidophilum is a model species notable for its strong tolerance to oxygen. However, the molecular mechanism by which its light-harvesting and energy-converting LH1-RC complex maintains highly efficient photosynthesis under oxic conditions remains unclear. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In a new study of viral abundance over a short time frame in the Sargasso Sea, researchers found that almost all viruses with cyclical changes in abundance were most active at night—somewhat surprising when the team expected microbial behavior to pick up pace when light was available for photosynthesis. It turns out the viruses most busy at night were not infecting bacteria that perform photosynthesis, which are among the types of bacteria known to be infected by viruses. Instead, these overnight viral hosts were microbes that focus on consumption of other organic matter because they can&#039;t produce their own food. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/targeting-the-tiniest-divide-research-reveals-potential-vulnerability-in-bacterial-reproduction</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A Université de Montréal study has found a previously unknown mechanism in bacterial reproduction that could be attacked by future antibiotics. Bacteria reproduce by dividing into two: they form a wall, or septum, between the two future cells while remodeling the old cell walls so the so-called &quot;daughter&quot; cells can separate without bursting. Until now, scientists had believed that once the dividing wall was built, bacteria gradually break down the links between its two sides to allow the cells to separate in a process called cleavage. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In biology and paleontology (the study of extinct organisms) there are a few ways to estimate the age of an animal&#039;s skeleton. One is the extent of fusion of sutures in the skeleton—how much the plates of bone have joined together as the animal matured. Another is the texture of the bone surfaces. Then there are growth marks recorded in the microscopic structure of bone. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Birds that live and breed in vegetated coastal areas, such as dunes and small islands, not only build nests but also—unintentionally—shape their own surroundings. This was discovered by Utrecht-based Earth scientist Floris van Rees. He studied five uninhabited islands in the Dutch Wadden Sea region, comparable to the barrier islands off North Carolina and in the Chesapeake Bay, and observed how seabirds have a major impact on plant growth. &quot;Plant species that retain sand better benefit from the presence of bird excrement, which in turn is beneficial for dune formation.&quot; This is particularly important now that sea level rise and coastal erosion are putting pressure on the habitats of many coastal birds. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Bats are reservoirs for several zoonotic viruses, such as Ebola and coronaviruses. These pathogens can spread to humans through direct contact with the flying mammals or their bodily fluids, or indirectly through contaminated food and water or through intermediate animal hosts. Efforts to reduce these risks have included culling and experimental attempts to vaccinate individual animals. However, these methods are often ineffective, as well as being impractical and potentially harmful to ecosystems. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Chesapeake Bay&#039;s most popular crustacean has a dark streak. Cannibalism is the No. 1 killer of juvenile blue crabs in mid-salinity waters where they are known to congregate, according to a new study from the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. But shallow waters can offer a vital refuge. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Neumark-Nord in northeastern Germany was a lake landscape in the last interglacial period. It is rich in archaeological finds discovered during lignite mining. The area in Saxony-Anhalt is one of the most important European paleontological sites for the European straight-tusked elephant Palaeoloxodon antiquus. Fossil remains of more than 70 elephants have been found there—animals that were once hunted in this region by Neanderthals. Because of this unusually large number of finds, the site provides a unique insight into the relationship between these massive animals and the humans of the Pleistocene. ]]></description>

<title>Photorespiration may help maintain plant epigenome by fueling C1 metabolism</title>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/photorespiration-may-help-maintain-plant-epigenome-by-fueling-c1-metabolism</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Photorespiration is a cellular conversion process in which plants release carbon dioxide and consume oxygen when exposed to light. Until now, it has been considered an especially wasteful by-product of photosynthesis. Yet according to the latest studies by researchers from Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich, and Heidelberg University, this process in fact plays an important role in the preservation of the plant epigenome, which controls which genes are turned on or off in response to environmental influences. The investigations show that photorespiration provides carbon atoms required for the environmentally induced modification of plant DNA. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/light-controlled-hydrogel-mimics-soft-human-tissue-for-more-realistic-cell-studies</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don&#039;t reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue. Now researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a water-rich, Jell-O-like material that more closely mimics how real tissues move, stretch and relax; and whose liquid or solid state can be precisely controlled by light. The work was recently published in the journal Matter and was directed by Distinguished Professor Kristi Anseth. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of &quot;dark matter&quot;: genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem Sorek at the Weizmann Institute of Science identified a new type of protein within this viral dark matter and dubbed it a &quot;sponge.&quot; Viral sponge proteins are porous and specialize in trapping molecules within deep pockets—much like a sponge that absorbs water. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The tall black-and-white residents of Antarctica, who waddle around its icy landscape, are in peril thanks to the rapidly warming global climate. Emperor penguins go through an annual transformation called catastrophic molting, during which they replace all of their feathers over a short period. This process begins in December and is usually completed before the end of February. During this time, the penguins depend on stable ice to stay warm and dry because the protective coat that normally makes them waterproof and cold-proof is still growing in. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/a-new-molecular-switch-for-inborn-immunity-identified</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Innate immune sensors—known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)—detect specific molecular components of bacterial or viral intruders. The PRRs forward the signals which results in the production of interferons, which in turn guide the immune cells. However, until now the precise mechanism of how these signals are forwarded has remained enigmatic. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Many proteins have a complex architecture that enables biological functions. Molecules can bind to specific sites on a protein and alter its function. A team at HZB has now investigated the Nsp1 protein, which plays a role in infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. They analyzed protein crystals, previously mixed with molecules from a fragment library, and discovered a total of 21 candidates as starting points for drug development. At the same time, they also decoded the 5000th structure at BESSY II. The study is published in the journal Acta Crystallographica Section D Structural Biology. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/villages-an-underestimated-habitat-with-potential-for-pollinators</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ When it comes to research on habitats for pollinating insects, villages have so far received relatively little attention. The project Summende Dörfer (Buzzing Villages), based at the Chair of Animal Ecology and Tropical Biology (Zoology III) at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU), aims to change that. In the Würzburg region and the Rhön, researchers examined a total of 40 villages to investigate which habitats within village environments are particularly insect-friendly and species-rich—and where improvements could be made. The results have now been published in the journal Ecological Applications. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Every time we feel a gentle tap on the skin, specialized nerve cells convert that physical force into an electrical signal the brain can interpret as touch. While scientists have long known that a protein called PIEZO2 acts as a key sensor for touch, it remained unclear why PIEZO2 is specialized for the localized mechanical forces experienced by sensory neurons, whereas its close relative PIEZO1 responds to broader mechanical stresses such as those generated when cells stretch, as occurs in blood vessels. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Environment Agency and the University of Stirling have published a new report on the links between phosphorus concentrations and ecology in English rivers. Phosphorus remains one of the most significant pollutants in England&#039;s rivers. In recent decades, the overall concentration of phosphorus in English rivers has declined, most likely due to the introduction of phosphorus removal technologies at sewage treatment works (STWs), changes to fertilizer use and adoption of best management practices in agriculture. ]]></description>

Peering deeper, into the heart of the atoms within, isn&#039;t as easy. It requires peeling through layers of particle accelerator data to shed light on protons, neutrons and the subatomic processes at play. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Many cutting-edge technologies, ranging from augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to LiDAR (light detection and ranging) systems, rely on components that enable the precise control of light. These components include so-called spatial light modulators (SLMs), systems that dynamically adjust the position of a light wave within its cycle (i.e., phase), as well as its amplitude or direction across several pixels. ]]></description>

<title>Cooling without gases: Molecular design brings solid&#45;state cooling closer to reality</title>
<link>https://www.ngo.ink/cooling-without-gases-molecular-design-brings-solid-state-cooling-closer-to-reality</link>
<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/cooling-without-gases-molecular-design-brings-solid-state-cooling-closer-to-reality</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Some solid materials can cool down or heat up when pressure is applied or released. This behavior enables cooling and heating technologies that do not rely on climate-damaging refrigerant gases. In practice, however, a major obstacle remains: many materials behave differently during heating and cooling, which makes their response difficult to use reliably in real devices. In a study published in the journal Communications Materials, researchers investigate a solid material known for its exceptionally large cooling/heating response (thermal response) under pressure and ask a simple question: can this response be made more reliable? They show that a very small change in composition leads to a clear improvement and use neutron experiments to explain why this improvement occurs. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Recent decades have witnessed rapid advancements in high-intensity laser technology. The combination of laser irradiation and novel materials is opening exciting avenues for the design of functional materials and devices. Semiconductors are ideal platforms for generating laser-driven functionalities because they can exhibit novel features such as ultrafast optical transparency. This effect arises from electronic occupation redistribution driven by ultrafast excitation, which manifests as a phenomenon called transient Pauli blocking. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information loss. Physicists have long known of a strange exception, called dynamical freezing, when quantum systems shaken at precisely tuned frequencies evade these laws. But how long can this phenomenon postpone thermodynamics? ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot both be known or measured with arbitrary precision at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object&#039;s physical state being measured—and therefore also the outcome of any subsequent measurement. How fast something is moving, for example, can depend on whether its position was measured beforehand. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may be, counterintuitively, antiferromagnets. Today, the most widely used magnetic materials are ferromagnets, which exhibit permanent magnetization and therefore strongly attract each other. Their opposite, called antiferromagnetic materials, exhibit no net magnetization at all. Despite a net zero magnetic field, they offer appealing properties that would solve the challenges of current magnetic technologies, like stray magnetic field generation or slow operation. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Quantum computers work by applying quantum operations, such as quantum gates, to delicate quantum states. Ideally, quantum computers can solve complex equations at staggeringly fast speeds that vastly outpace regular computers. In real hardware, the operations of quantum computers often deviate from the ideal behavior because of device imperfections and unwanted noise from the environment. To build reliable quantum machines, researchers need a way to accurately determine what a quantum device is actually doing. ]]></description>

<title>Will melting glaciers slow climate change? A prevailing theory is on shaky ground</title>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/will-melting-glaciers-slow-climate-change-a-prevailing-theory-is-on-shaky-ground</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For scientists who study the Southern Ocean, a long-standing silver lining in the gloomy forecast of climate change has been the theory of iron fertilization. As temperatures rise and glaciers in Antarctica melt, ice-trapped iron would feed blooms of microscopic algae, pulling heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. There&#039;s just one problem: The theory doesn&#039;t hold water. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/how-oxygen-enriched-earths-atmosphere-25-billion-years-ago</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Cyanobacteria, as they still exist today, were the first organisms to carry out photosynthesis and release oxygen. Produced in primeval oceans about 2.5 billion years ago, this oxygen accumulated in Earth&#039;s atmosphere on an immense scale. A research team led by University of Tübingen geomicrobiologist Professor Andreas Kappler has used laboratory experiments to investigate how this process was even possible, given that the iron dissolved in ocean water strongly inhibited the growth of cyanobacteria. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A study published in the journal Environmental Science &amp; Technology has revealed the toxic &quot;forever chemical,&quot; PFOS, can accumulate in exposed honeybee colonies and transfer to their honey, threatening pollinator viability, food security, and potentially human health. Conducted by researchers at the University of New England (UNE), the study monitored the effects of chronic sublethal exposure of PFOS on European honeybee colonies, showing prolonged exposure to environmental levels of PFOS changed the expression of some key proteins responsible for cell function in the honeybee. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/grasslands-are-vanishing-nearly-four-times-faster-than-forests-global-study-finds</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Along with forests, grasslands and wetlands are also being converted to cropland and pasture at an increasing rate around the world—often for livestock farming and the export of agricultural products. An international team of researchers, including Martin Persson from Chalmers, has now analyzed for the first time where, for what purpose, and how quickly natural non-forest ecosystems are being converted into agricultural land on a global scale. The results show that these ecologically highly valuable areas are converted at a rate almost four times faster than forests. ]]></description>

<title>Study of 40,000 cases links Somalia migration mainly to water scarcity</title>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/study-of-40000-cases-links-somalia-migration-mainly-to-water-scarcity</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A study published in Nature Food by researchers from the Politecnico di Milano and the University of California at Berkeley provides forward-thinking answers to the debate on the role of environmental stresses on migration processes. The analysis, conducted on a dataset of 40,000 cases of environmental migration in Somalia and led by Professor Maria Cristina Rulli, coordinator of the Glob3ScienCE (Global Studies on Sustainable Security in a Changing Environment) Lab, shows that the main reasons for these displacements can be attributed to water scarcity. Drought, the insufficient water content of the soil with respect to the needs of agriculture, and food insecurity caused as a result, directly affect Somalia&#039;s agricultural and pastoral communities, which represent about 80% of the national population. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A research team led by Dr. Chris Baumann and Dr. Dorothée Drucker from the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Paleoenvironment at the University of Tübingen has found that the European wildcat is increasingly using agricultural lands as hunting grounds in some parts of Germany, especially in summer when grain crops provide cover. Wildcats normally live in forests; this kind of behavioral change is seen as a response to pressure from human influences such as the fragmentation or destruction of forest areas and more intense agriculture. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/challenging-assumptions-behind-africas-green-revolution-efforts-and-calls-for-farmer-centered-development-models</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new study examining small-scale farming in Tanzania argues that major agricultural development initiatives, including the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), are built on flawed assumptions about how rural households make decisions. The research, led by Daniel Tobin of the University of Vermont, finds that household composition, gender dynamics, and labor constraints strongly shape how small-scale farmers allocate land and labor, factors that AGRA and similar programs routinely overlook. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Why does your dog rush to &quot;help&quot; when you are searching for something, while your cat seems… eh, less concerned? New research suggests that this difference may stem from deep evolutionary roots—and that, in certain situations, dogs behave more similarly to young children than to cats. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Anyone who has seen a hummingbird poking her beak deep into a trumpet creeper blossom, or a honeyeater using its brush-tipped tongue to extract nectar from eucalyptus flowers, has witnessed something that, from a human perspective, is rather remarkable. Although many bird species avoid sugar-rich foods, others survive almost entirely on sugar-rich nectar or fruit, processing massive sugar loads without developing the diseases that such diets cause in people and other animals. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The gilthead seabream, a species of commercial interest that migrates seasonally, does not form independent local populations in the northwestern Mediterranean but instead constitutes a single, functionally connected population on a large scale. Individuals spend the summer feeding in the coastal lagoons of the Gulf of Lion and, every autumn, undertake reproductive migrations of hundreds of kilometers to shared spawning grounds in the open sea, mainly in the Marseille region, but also in areas of the Catalan coast. They repeat this pattern year after year. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In the search for climate-friendly foods, scientists have spent decades reimagining what grows in the field. But a quieter question has lingered in the background: Will anyone actually want to eat it? A new study in the journal Agricultural Economics has applied this question to intermediate wheatgrass, finding that consumers will pay more for the perennial grain if the sustainability benefits are clearly explained—as long as it tastes good, too. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Wildlife trafficking is one of the world&#039;s most widespread illegal trades, contributing to biodiversity loss, organized crime, and public health risks. Once concentrated in physical markets, much of this activity has moved online. Today, animals and animal products are advertised on large e-commerce platforms alongside ordinary consumer goods. This shift makes enforcement harder—but it also creates a valuable source of data. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Researchers studying the soft-bodied Ediacaran biotas of the world generally accept that there are three distinct assemblages. The 575–560-million-year-old (Ma) Avalon Assemblage is best known from the Ediacaran of Newfoundland, Canada, characterized by the weird and wonderful fractal Rangeomorpha like Charnia that thrived in the deep, dark waters around the ancient continent of Avalonia. The 560–550-Ma White Sea Assemblage is best known from shallow marine rocks of Australia, Russia, and China, marking the acme of Ediacaran biodiversity and including some famous animal ancestors such as Dickinsonia and Kimberella. And the 550–538-Ma Nama Assemblage is a low-diversity biota that persisted until the extinction event preceding the Cambrian Radiation event at 538 Ma. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Throughout their lifetimes, healthy forests produce more oxygen than they use, while taking in greenhouse gases via plants and soils. This ecosystem-wide service, called carbon sequestration, regulates global climate and is an essential component of climate models and goals. Forest health, however, influences carbon cycling, and when trees get sick, the net reduction of greenhouse gases may be more limited than previously thought. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body&#039;s systems in balance. A new study from Northeastern University researchers published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences now unlocks a primary mechanism in how the body maintains its electrochemical balance through chloride ions, important in our most basic cellular functions. An imbalance in the body&#039;s electrochemistry can lead to diseases as diverse as high blood pressure or asthma. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ If you were one of the many amateur bakers who learned to bake sourdough bread during lockdown, you&#039;ll know how complex a single loaf can be. The rise of the bread, moisture, firmness and even crumb structure can make or break a baker&#039;s creation. It&#039;s why Latifeh Ahmadi, professor in the Brescia School of Food and Nutritional Sciences, studied each of those factors—and more—in an attempt to perfect the science of sourdough bread. But unlike your homemade loaf, Ahmadi was using a special ingredient of her own: acid whey. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Studying gene expression in a cancer patient&#039;s cells can help clinical biologists understand the cancer&#039;s origin and predict the success of different treatments. But cells are complex and contain many layers, so how the biologist conducts measurements affects which data they can obtain. For instance, measuring proteins in a cell could yield different information about the effects of cancer than measuring gene expression or cell morphology. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/why-plants-may-bloom-earlier-tiny-dew-droplets-are-triggering-early-flowering-in-plants</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Plants around the world are flowering earlier in the year, a trend attributed to climate change. But there could be another hitherto hidden trigger. Scientists led by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences suggest a cause may be morning dew drops, as explained in a paper in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/hidden-architecture-inside-cellular-droplets-reveals-new-targets-for-cancer-and-neurodegeneration</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into proteins, help clear cellular waste to prevent toxicity and disease, and can even suppress cancerous tumors. Because they behave like liquids, able to merge, flow and rapidly exchange their contents, scientists had long assumed condensates lacked internal organization and functioned as a simple liquid. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Scores of sea lions continue to beach themselves along the Southern California coastline, stricken with sickness. Toxic algae blooms are to blame, though a mechanical engineering innovation could shift the tide in favor of the marine mammals. Now, UNLV-led research published in Scientific Reports has successfully developed a synthetic California sea lion pelvic region, mimicking its bone and soft tissue. This allows medical professionals to conduct blood collection training on anatomically authentic models, improving efforts to treat the live animals. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ How do plants achieve their remarkably regular arrangement of leaves and flowers? And why does this pattern remain so stable, even as plants grow and respond to their environment? Researchers at Wageningen University &amp; Research and the Dutch fruit and vegetable breeding company Rijk Zwaan have identified the biological mechanisms that underpin this precision. Central to the process are so-called PLETHORA proteins, which act as key regulators of plant growth. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Basketball shoes on a gym floor, bicycle brakes in need of a tune-up, or the squeal of tires are everyday examples of squeaking sounds. Such sounds have long been attributed to stick-slip friction, or a cycle of intermittent sticking and sliding between surfaces. While this framework explains many rigid-on-rigid systems such as door hinges, it does not fully capture the physics of soft-on-rigid interfaces, like shoes on a floor. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ When you toss a coin, you put it into a higher-energy state until it falls back down again. It can then end up in one of two possible states: heads or tails. No matter which state the coin was in before, after the toss both outcomes are equally likely. A team at TU Wien has analyzed a quantum system that also has two equivalent ground states. By supplying energy through ion bombardment, this state can be changed. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Quantum technologies are anticipated to transform computing, communication, and sensing by harnessing the unusual behavior of matter at the atomic scale. Translating quantum&#039;s promise into practical devices will require physical systems that have desirable quantum properties and can be easily manufactured. Silicon, the material behind today&#039;s computer chips, is highly attractive as a platform because it plays to the strengths of the trillion-dollar semiconductor industry that has already been built. Identifying quantum building blocks—qubits—in silicon is, therefore, an important frontier research area. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/some-pesticides-can-slip-under-natural-protection-into-streams-researchers-find</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pesticides can harm aquatic ecosystems and human health, so scientists need to understand how they move from farm fields into streams. A management tool commonly implemented is riparian buffers—strips of vegetation, like shrubs or grasses, bordering streams—that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) advises can reduce the amount of nutrients, sediment and pesticides getting into waterways. But it&#039;s unclear how effective buffers actually are at stopping pesticides from entering streams, according to a multidisciplinary team led by Penn State researchers. To find out, the researchers conducted a study on a small agricultural stream, finding that adding buffers likely reduces the amount of specific pesticides from reaching the stream, but not others. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hike north on the Appalachian Trail and the scenery slowly transforms. Rugged, steep ridgelines in Tennessee and Virginia soften into the broad summits and smooth peaks of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. According to new research from William &amp; Mary Assistant Professor of Geology Joanmarie Del Vecchio, this contrast speaks to an ancient past. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ One of the best forms of heat relief is pretty simple: trees. In cities, as studies have documented, more tree cover lowers surface temperatures and heat-related health risks. However, as a new study led by MIT researchers shows, the amount of tree cover varies widely within cities, and is generally connected to wealth levels. After examining a cross-section of cities on four continents at different latitudes, the research finds a consistent link between wealth and neighborhood tree abundance within a city, with better-off residents usually enjoying much more shade on nearby sidewalks. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics and presents them in a way that is easily understandable for researchers. This includes experimental setups that humans might never have considered. The new AI doesn&#039;t just create a single design proposal; instead, it writes computer code that generates a whole series of physical experiments, that is, groups of experiments with similar outputs. The study has been published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In physics, the classical &quot;Hall effect,&quot; discovered in the late 19th century, describes how a transverse voltage is generated when an electric current is exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field. Simply put, the magnetic field causes the electrons, which are negatively charged, to drift sideways, creating a negative charge on one edge of the conducting strip and a positive charge on the opposite side. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ For decades, scientists viewed the genome of a newly fertilized egg as a structural &quot;blank slate&quot;—a disordered tangle of DNA waiting for the embryo to wake up and start reading its own genetic instructions. In research published in Nature Genetics, Professor Juanma Vaquerizas and his team have found that a surprising level of structure is already in place. They&#039;ve developed a breakthrough technology, called Pico-C, which enables scientists to see the 3D structure of the genome in unprecedented detail. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The decline of California&#039;s kelp forests since the marine heat wave of 2013–17 has seen only minor recovery despite heroic efforts at restoration carried out by scientists, fishermen, coastal tribes, volunteer divers and conservationists. Nor is the threat to kelp localized. Rather, the loss, like the expansion of mega-wildfires on land from Los Angeles to Siberia and from Canada to Australia, comes in response to an ever-warming world where 90% of the human-generated heat from the burning of fossil fuels is absorbed by the ocean. ]]></description>

A new study has pinpointed an odorant receptor that helps mosquitoes detect a repellent odor and steer away. The researchers found that activating this receptor switches on a dedicated neural pathway that can override the insects&#039; attraction to human scents, producing clear avoidance behavior. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/engineered-bacteria-can-consume-tumors-from-the-inside-out</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing a novel tool to treat cancer by engineering hungry bacteria to literally eat tumors from the inside out. &quot;Bacteria spores enter the tumor, finding an environment where there are lots of nutrients and no oxygen, which this organism prefers, and so it starts eating those nutrients and growing in size,&quot; said Dr. Marc Aucoin, a chemical engineering professor at Waterloo. &quot;So, we are now colonizing that central space, and the bacterium is essentially ridding the body of the tumor.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ More than 350,000 chemicals are used worldwide, and many find their way into the ocean through plastic pollution. As plastics accumulate in coastal waters, they continuously leach bioactive additives that can interfere with the chemical cues marine animals rely on to find food, avoid predators, choose habitats, and communicate. ]]></description>

However, to a fruit fly hovering above your head, the screen would represent a strobe light fit for an Ibiza rave. This is because the way different species sample time, and the rates at which they can perceive it, varies greatly across the animal kingdom. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/the-hidden-stress-facing-coral-reef-fish-in-the-arabian-gulf</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new study from NYU Abu Dhabi has found that small coral reef fish in the Arabian Gulf are facing a hidden but growing source of stress. When oxygen levels drop at night, a common occurrence on some of the world&#039;s hottest reefs, these fish must use extra energy just to recover the next day. Over time, this additional strain could impact their growth, survival, and the overall balance of reef ecosystems. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A key characteristic of modern human society is rapid urbanization, a process that can reshape natural environments and disrupt the habitats of many organisms. One widespread byproduct of urbanization is artificial light at night (ALAN), which has become one of the most pervasive human-made environmental disturbances. ALAN can affect animals by changing their physiology, behavior, and geographic distribution. In particular, it disrupts natural day-night cycles, circadian rhythms, predator-prey interactions, and reproduction across a wide range of species. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Antibiotics are medical marvels that have transformed once deadly bacterial infections into manageable conditions. But with a rise in antibiotic resistance that renders existing treatments ineffective, new agents are urgently needed. Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have now shed fresh light on why antibiotics that work well in laboratory tests often fail against real infections in humans. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/targeting-the-good-arm-after-stroke-can-lead-to-better-motor-skills</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Traditional stroke rehabilitation therapy focuses on restoring strength and movement to the more impaired side of the body, but a new randomized clinical trial has revealed that targeted therapy for the less impaired arm significantly improved movement and control for stroke survivors. The trial, led by researchers from Penn State and the University of Southern California (USC), compared the new approach to the standard best-practice therapy currently in use. The team said the findings, published today (Feb. 2) in JAMA Neurology, demonstrate that motor skills in the less-affected arm can be improved even years after a stroke occurs and could meaningfully enhance quality of life. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Most registered nurses who recently left hospital employment are motivated to return to health care work—and safe nurse staffing levels are the top factor that would bring them back, according to new research from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing&#039;s Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research (CHOPR). Published in JAMA Network Open, the study analyzed data from 4,043 actively licensed registered nurses who left direct care hospital positions within the last five years. Among them, 8% were employed outside health care, 36% were unemployed, and 56% were retired. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Language barriers contribute substantially to inequities in U.S. surgical care. Spanish-speaking patients are especially affected by communication challenges and inconsistent interpreter access during complex or time-sensitive encounters. A study led by Gezzer Ortega, MD, MPH, a physician investigator from the Center for Surgery and Public Health at Brigham and Women&#039;s Hospital, sought to understand how Spanish-speaking surgical patients perceive emerging interpreter technologies, specifically artificial intelligence (AI)-based interpretation and remote video interpretation (RVI), and how these modalities could be implemented in clinical practice. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Around 250 million years ago, what is today scorching desert in remote northwestern Australia was the shore of a shallow bay bordering a vast prehistoric ocean. Fossils recovered from this region over 60 years ago, and almost forgotten in museum collections, have now shed new light on the earliest global radiations of land-living animals adapting to life in the sea. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Kombu (Saccharina japonica) is a brown seaweed extensively cultivated and consumed in Japan, Korea and China. Despite its nutritional value, its strong fishy and grassy odor can deter some consumers. Additionally, many of kombu&#039;s nutrients are locked inside rigid cell walls and dense networks that the human digestive system cannot easily break down. As a result, much of this treasure trove of nutrients passes through the body without being absorbed. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ About 10 million years ago, Antarctica&#039;s Southern Ocean started to get so cold that it scared away most fish in the region. Among the fish that stayed were what are now known as black rockcod, part of a famously sturdy family of Antarctic fish. But the black rockcod&#039;s future could also now be in jeopardy as Southern Ocean temperatures are projected to shift in the opposite direction due to climate change. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Bats are some of the most highly specialized mammals to have ever evolved. This includes not only the evolution of active flight, but also their echolocation. This ability requires the bats to produce high frequency noises and then receive the sound back and interpret it to allow the animals to build up a detailed picture of the world through sound. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ New research from Monash University, in collaboration with Phillip Island Nature Parks, has found conclusive evidence that rivers are vital drivers of food and habitat for seabirds around the world. The research, published in Biological Reviews, examined 51 scientific studies that looked at how river water flowing into the sea affects seabird behavior, diet, health and population trends. The results revealed that nearly nine out of 10 studies reported a clear link between river-influenced ocean environments and seabird ecology, from where birds feed to how healthy they are and how successfully they breed. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/how-horses-whinny-helium-tests-reveal-whistling-while-singing-mechanism</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A horse&#039;s whinny is an unusually distinctive mix of sounds including both high and low frequencies. Reporting in Current Biology, researchers demonstrate how horses produce high-frequency sounds that defy their large size while simultaneously producing lower tones: they whistle through their larynx while vibrating their vocal folds as a human does while singing. Horses likely evolved these vocalizations to be able to convey multiple messages to one another at the same time, says the team. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Plants have an immune system, like people, and when it is triggered by threats like disease or pests, a plant&#039;s defenses are activated. But there&#039;s a downside to this protective mechanism: the plant&#039;s growth is suppressed when its immune system is turned on. Colorado State University researchers have found a way to boost a plant&#039;s growth while maintaining its immunity through a hormone treatment that shows promise for food production. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In 2013, farmers in the highlands of Ethiopia began to notice something unsettling: a familiar variety of wheat was failing in an unfamiliar way. Stems weakened, plants collapsed, and fields that had once held firm against disease were suddenly vulnerable. Three years later, the same unease surfaced thousands of kilometers away, when wheat crops in Sicily—including prized durum varieties destined for pasta—succumbed to a fast-moving stem rust outbreak that baffled local farmers. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ When honey bees find a good source of food, they return to their hive and perform a waggle dance. It consists of a series of movements that communicate the direction and distance to nectar, pollen or water relative to the sun. For years, scientists had a vague understanding of where this occurred in the hive, generally describing it as near the entrance. But in a new paper published in the journal PLOS One, researchers have developed a mathematical method to pinpoint the exact boundaries and shape of the region where this form of communication occurs, an area known as the dance floor. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group of proteins that shepherds electrons forward, passing them along like a relay baton, so they can penetrate the thick cell envelope comprising multiple layers of membranes that otherwise are not electroconductive. But how these proteins collaborate to achieve this has not been clear. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ What makes one bat take risks and venture far from its roost in search of food, while another stays close to familiar, safer areas? A new study from Tel Aviv University&#039;s School of Zoology reveals that the environment in which a bat is raised during the first months of its life largely determines how it will behave in the wild, sometimes even more than its innate personality. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ For many animals, siblings are a key component of their social environment during early life. Previous research has shown that the early social environment is important, but it has not yet been clear whether the number of siblings or the nature of their interactions is the decisive factor. &quot;The early social environment is often treated as a single, uniform factor,&quot; says Bruno Camargo dos Santos, behavioral ecologist of Wageningen University &amp; Research and lead author of a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. &quot;We wanted to experimentally disentangle what exactly makes the difference.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today&#039;s devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited—that is, the number of possible interactions between quantum bits before a serious error occurs in the highly sensitive system. For this reason, it is important to keep computing operations as efficient and lean as possible. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, it will eventually evenly mix. If you put a glass of ice water on the kitchen table, it will eventually melt and become room temperature. That concept rooted in energy transport is known as thermalization, and it is easy to comprehend because we see it happen every day. But this is not always how things behave at the smallest scales of the universe. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ It is commonly assumed that tiny particles just go with the flow as they make their way through soil, biological tissue, and other complex materials. But a team of Yale researchers led by Professor Amir Pahlavan shows that even gentle chemical gradients, such as a small change in salt concentration, can dramatically reshape how particles move through porous materials. Their results are published in Science Advances. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/how-do-clouds-form-in-antarctica-the-first-flight-based-aerosol-measurements-in-20-years</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Antarctica plays a crucial role in Earth&#039;s climate system by reflecting solar radiation back into space. The large white ice surfaces and clouds play a decisive role in this process. However, how clouds actually form in Antarctica, how they interact with the atmosphere and what role aerosols play in this process has not been sufficiently researched to date. Engaging in the SANAT flight campaign, the Alfred Wegener Institute, the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research and the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry aim to help close this knowledge gap. The flight-based aerosol measurements conducted in Antarctica are the first of their kind in 20 years and also the first to extend deep into the interior. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A study led by the University of Barcelona and published in the journal Nature Communications shows that climate change has profoundly altered extreme episodes of melting in the Greenland ice sheet by making them more frequent, more extensive and more intense. Since 1990, the area affected by extreme melting episodes has increased at a rate of 2.8 million km² per decade. Additionally, the production of water from ice melt has increased more than sixfold, rising from 12.7 gigatons per decade to 82.4 gigatons per decade. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/peatland-lakes-in-congo-basin-release-carbon-that-is-thousands-of-years-old</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Researchers at ETH Zurich have now discovered for the first time that large blackwater lakes in the extensive peatlands of the central Congo Basin are releasing ancient carbon. To date, climate researchers had assumed that carbon was stored safely for millenia in the peat. How the carbon is mobilized from the peat to the lake, where it is finally released to the atmosphere, is still unknown. Climate changes and altered land use, especially the conversion of forest to cropland, could exacerbate this trend—with consequences for the global climate. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ When the supercontinent Pangea began to fragment around 200 million years ago during the Early Jurassic, it reshaped the face of the planet. Vast new oceans opened, continents drifted apart and the familiar geography of today slowly emerged. For decades, many geoscientists have suggested that this dramatic breakup was fueled by an accumulation of heat beneath the supercontinent, a kind of planetary &quot;thermal insulation&quot; effect that caused the underlying mantle (the thick layer of rock between Earth&#039;s crust and its core) to grow unusually hot. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Unseen but all around us, the air we breathe in enclosed spaces is crucial to our health and well-being. Indoor air is not simply outdoor air that has been run through a filter: it has its own chemical makeup and a unique combination of particles, gases and microorganisms. Because indoor air has many sources of its own, concentrations of many pollutants can be as high as—or higher than—outdoor levels, especially during everyday activities like cooking or cleaning. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Several studies have predicted that not all geomagnetic reversals have been discovered, but it was unknown in which periods they might be hidden. Researchers led by the National Institute of Polar Research used a statistical method called adaptive kernel density estimation to model the frequency of geomagnetic reversals at high temporal resolution. Based on the model, they proposed that undiscovered reversals may be hidden in four periods after the Cretaceous Normal Superchron. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ An economic study calculates the effectiveness of a novel policy instrument: The underlying idea is that you are allowed to release the climate gas CO₂ into the atmosphere—but only if you promise to &quot;clean up&quot; later through carbon removal. The market forces activated by clean-up certificates can greatly strengthen the fight against global heating without placing an extra burden on the economy. The study was conducted by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and released in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Thick cloud cover can completely obscure the surface of the Earth from satellite view, while thinner haze and shadows distort the image of rural and urban regions. As such, many remote sensing images for monitoring climate, crops, and urban growth are only partially usable. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The extraction of gas and oil by fracking—large-scale fracturing of underground rocks by injecting water, sand and additives—is generating growing concern in Argentine Patagonia. Neuquén province—home to the country&#039;s largest hydrocarbon reserves—has experienced an increase in earthquakes since fracking operations began there in 2015. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A key question in any discussion about climate is &quot;How much rain fell?&quot; But perhaps there is an even more important one. Like any household budget, the global water economy is based on &quot;income,&quot; that is, water entering the system as precipitation, and &quot;expenditure&quot;—water leaving the system through various forms of evaporation. On land, water evaporates mainly through vegetation, in a process known as evapo-transpiration. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Volcanoes and wildfires can inject millions of tons of gases and aerosol particles into the air, affecting temperatures on a global scale. But picking out the specific impact of individual events against a background of many contributing factors is like listening for one person&#039;s voice from across a crowded concourse. MIT scientists now have a way to quiet the noise and identify the specific signal of wildfires and volcanic eruptions, including their effects on Earth&#039;s global atmospheric temperatures. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Digital technologies are widely viewed as drivers of efficiency, growth, and innovation. However, their contribution to climate change is significantly greater than previously understood. A new study published in the journal Communications Sustainability shows that digital industries were responsible for about 4.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. The bulk of these emissions were not captured by existing emissions accounting standards or official climate assessments. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), in collaboration with international partners, have shown that ocean temperature patterns help limit the global spread of droughts. Published in Communications Earth &amp; Environment, the study analyzed climate data from 1901–2020 and found that synchronized droughts affected between 1.8% and 6.5% of global land, far lower than earlier claims that one-sixth of the planet could dry out at once. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ With the current U.S. federal administration abandoning its leadership role in the fight against climate change, international efforts by governments to mitigate global warming appear to have stalled, at least for now. But according to Adelina Barbalau, an expert on climate finance in the Alberta School of Business, hope may lie elsewhere—in the global marketplace and the opportunities for multinational companies to pick up the slack. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.ngo.ink/staple-crops-are-a-major-contributor-to-global-deforestation-says-study</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Rice, maize, and cassava crops cumulatively account for approximately 11% of total global deforestation—exceeding that of cocoa, coffee, and rubber—according to an analysis between 2001 and 2022, published in Nature Food. These staple crops should not be overlooked in global efforts to reduce deforestation, the authors argue. ]]></description>
