Using the example of the freshwater polyp Hydra, a CRC 1182 research team shows how even creatures with very simple nervous systems can regulate the complex coordination of satiety and related behavioursOver the course of evolution, living organisms have gradually developed more complex nervous systems in order to coordinate increasingly comp...

 Ground-breaking research uncovers "molecular glue" that helps ensure memory formation and stabilizationWhether it's a first-time visit to a zoo or when we learned to ride a bicycle, we have memories from our childhoods kept well into adult years. But what explains how these memories last nearly an entire lifetime? A new study in the journal S...

 A team of scientists has sequenced the Australian bilby's genome and captured biological information on how they grow and evolve, an important tool for conservation of the threatened species.Dr Rich Edwards, from Minderoo OceanOmics Centre at UWA's Oceans Institute, was co-author of the study led by Professor Carolyn Hogg at the University of...

Electricity networks have demonstrated an extremely high level of reliability in the past: they were typically designed for centralized generation systems (power plants). And both electricity generation and consumption were relatively predictable. But today's evolving landscape is changing that: there is a notable shift towards decentralized genera...

 Being nursed by a single parent could be an evolutionary strategy to curb the spread of harmful microbes in mammals, according to a novel theory developed by mathematicians.The dense rainforest canopies of Malaysia are home to the only known case of a wild male mammal that produces milk. The Dayak fruit bat is a vanishingly rare case of male ...

 DURHAM, N.C. – In the several decades since sea otters began to recolonize their former habitat in Elkhorn Slough, a salt marsh-dominated coastal estuary in central California, remarkable changes have occurred in the landscape.Erosion of creekbanks and marsh edges in areas with large otter populations has slowed by up to 90%, at a time when r...

 NMBU's researchers will use novel methods to examine how climate change impacts Nordic bat populations across seasons and latitudes, with the goal of informing future conservation strategies.The Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) has received funding for a new project that will expand our understanding on how climate change affects ...

 In the 1880s Heinrich Hertz discovered that a spark jumping between two pieces of metal emits a flash of light – rapidly oscillating electromagnetic waves – which can be picked up by an antenna. To honour his groundbreaking work, the unit of frequency was named "Hertz" in 1930. Hertz's findings were later used by Guglielmo Marconi (Nobel Priz...

In the face of rapid environmental change and declining biodiversity, the University of Exeter and the National Trust are driving closer collaboration between their research teams to mitigate new challenges. Thi...

 Research reveals ants inflict pain with neurotoxinsUQ researchers have shown for the first time that some of the world's most painful ant stings target nerves, like snake and scorpion venom.Dr Sam Robinson and colleagues at UQ's Institute for Molecular Bioscience discovered the ant neurotoxins while studying the Australian green ant and South...

 A breakthrough in electrolyte design has enabled battery charging at very low temperatures and at unprecedented speed.A new electrolyte designed by Zhejiang University researchers enables lithium-ion batteries to be charged at temperatures between –70 °C to 60 °C, and reach up to 80% capacity within 10 minutes at room temperature. Their findi...

 UvA researchers present the AlgoSo cA I Opinion MonitorCurious about the AI use of, for example, 35-44 year olds? Or confidence in AI for a cancer diagnosis? With the UvA's AlgoSoc AI Opinion Monitor you can see how different groups in the Netherlands think about AI and to what extent they use it. 70% of Dutch people do not (yet) use generati...

 Over the past decades, floods in the Metropolitan City of Venice during heavy rainfall events have highlighted the inadequacy of sewer and drainage systems in this highly urbanized area.Given the future climate scenarios and the urbanization rate, worsening conditions and extreme events are expected in the next decades, posing rising threats ...

 One in seven species of deepwater sharks and rays are threatened with extinction due to overfishing, according to a new eight-year study released today in the journal Science.Specifically, the analysis found that sharks and rays are caught as incidental bycatch in fisheries targeting more commercially valuable species. However, they are kept ...

 NMBU has received funding for a project where the researchers will develop digital methods to analyze annual rings in tropical trees. The goal is to revolutionize the way we conduct climate research in the tropics.NMBU researcher Medley Mekonen Rannestad has received funding from The International Human Frontier Science Program Organization f...
