'Cold bone': Researchers discover first dinosaur species that lived on Greenland 214 million years ago

Added: 08.11.2021 16:48 | 133 views | 0 comments

The two-legged dinosaur Issi saaneq lived about 214 million years ago in what is now Greenland. It was a medium-sized, long-necked herbivore and a predecessor of the sauropods, the largest land animals ever to live. The name of the new dinosaur pays tribute to Greenland's Inuit language and means "cold bone".

Towards self-restoring electronic devices with long DNA molecules

Added: 08.11.2021 1:26 | 145 views | 0 comments

The potential of DNA structural properties in single-molecule electronics has finally been harnessed by researchers in a single-molecule junction device that shows spontaneous self-restoring ability. Additionally, the device, based on a 'zipper' DNA configuration, shows unconventionally high electrical conductivity, opening doors to the development of novel nanoelectronic devices.

Not silent yet; the shifting sounds of spring

Added: 08.11.2021 1:26 | 133 views | 0 comments

Natural sounds, and bird song in particular, play a key role in building and maintaining our connection with nature - but a major new study reveals that the sounds of spring are changing, with dawn choruses across North America and Europe becoming quieter and less varied. An international team of researchers led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) developed a new technique, combining world-leading citizen science bird monitoring data with recordings of individual species in the wild, to reconstruct the soundscapes of more than 200,000 sites over the last 25 years.

A life less obvious: Study sheds light on the evolution of underground microbes

Added: 08.11.2021 1:26 | 150 views | 0 comments

Precambrian cratons -- some of Earth's oldest rocks -- were uninhabitable for microbes for much of their existence, with the longest period of habitability not much beyond a billion years, and many only for the past 50 million to 300 million years, according to a paper correlating Earth's deep biosphere with geologic history.

Not all acne is equal: Scientists reveal strains of C. acnes that promote skin health

Added: 08.11.2021 1:26 | 129 views | 0 comments

Researchers reveal correlation between ribotype (RT) strains of Cutibacterium acnes, which are found in human skin, and the lifespan of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Strains RT4 and 8, which are associated with acne in human skin, shortened the lifespan of the nematode, while RT6, which are predominantly found in healthy human skin, did not. Also, it was found that the healthy skin-related RT6 strain of C. acnes improved C. elegans resistance to the pathogenic organism Staphylococcus aureus.

New insights into kidney disease with tropical frog models

Added: 06.11.2021 18:44 | 145 views | 0 comments

Using cutting-edge genetic engineering, researchers have developed a model to study hereditary kidney disease with the help of tropical frogs. The method allows them to collect large amounts of data on anomalies, which can then be analyzed using artificial intelligence. The research opens up new opportunities in the search for new treatment approaches for the hitherto incurable disease.

Novel tag provides first detailed look into goliath grouper behavior

Added: 06.11.2021 18:44 | 134 views | 0 comments

A new study reveals detailed behavior of massive goliath groupers. Until now, no studies have documented their fine-scale behavior. What is known about them has been learned from divers, underwater video footage, and observing them in captivity. Using a multi-sensor tag with a three axis accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer as well as a temperature, pressure and light sensor, a video camera and a hydrophone, researchers show how this species navigates through complex artificial reef environments, maintain themselves in high current areas, and how much time they spend in different cracks and crevices -- none of which would be possible without the tag.
