A study by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research reveals that wind turbines in agricultural landscapes displace bats from water bodies by up to 63%. This avoidance hinders survival during dry summers when access to water is crucial.

Researchers from NC State and Columbia University analyzed the genomes of dogs in Chornobyl City and the nearby Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), revealing no evidence of radiation-induced genetic mutations.

Researchers at MPI-SusMat have transformed dealloying, traditionally a corrosive process, into a tool for creating lightweight, porous martensitic alloys. The team developed nano-engineered materials with enhanced strength and reduced weight.

ETH Zurich researchers have pioneered 3D-printed walls and ceilings made from marble quarry waste bound with a geopolymer material. These hygroscopic components absorb and release moisture, significantly improving indoor comfort.

Radiation testing suggests that solar cells made from carbon-based materials could outperform conventional silicon for generating electricity.

New research explains how the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) enhances root gravitropism by promoting auxin production, allowing plants to grow steeper roots to access deeper water in drought conditions.

Researchers reveal that blue-throated macaws exhibit automatic imitation of intransitive actions, previously thought unique to humans. Macaws involuntarily mimicked movements, suggesting a mirror-neuron-like system.

Climate change is causing more rapid swings between intensely wet and dangerously dry weather, leading to droughts, flooding and fires.

Whole-genome sequencing of endangered cockatoo species brings new insights into their genetics, potentially offering fresh hope for their survival.

A study uncovers how H2O2-induced redox modification regulates the RNA demethylase SlALKBH2. This modification stabilizes SlALKBH2 and accelerates tomato ripening without altering its m6A demethylase activity.
