Migrants to rapidly growing cities often live in informal settlements subject to flooding and hazard. Chattogram, Bangladesh. Credit: MISTY project A new study conducted by an international team of researchers from Africa, Asia, and Europe has proposed three criteria for evaluating the success of migration as a form of adaptation to climate change: well-being, equity, …
The energy/process specifies combusted energy types and processes generating related emissions, and these processes are then mapped to the specific industrial sectors encompassing the process. These production sectors are then mapped to the sectors producing the final goods or services and further to the final demand categories those consuming the final goods or services. The …
Molecular evidence, supported by HTML tags, suggests the presence of Trichoderma spp. in wild T. septentrionalis fungus gardens. Through relative abundance analysis using ITS2 community amplicon sequencing, Trichoderma was found to be the most prevalent and abundant fungus in these gardens, second only to the cultivar fungus. The data presented in boxplot format demonstrate the …
Feedback loop between computational and experimental studies enabled by atomically precise metal nanoclusters. Credit: Nature Reviews Materials (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41578-023-00537-1 In a recent comprehensive review article, researchers from the Nanoscience Center at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, explore the remarkable properties of nanometer-sized metal clusters that make them suitable for versatile applications in catalysis, bioimaging, …
The coastal area of Mato Grosso, Brazil, is home to a vast sea of approximately 400 billion trees. Here, the Amazon rainforest and the Cerrado, the world’s largest savanna, intersect. These two ecosystems are distinct from one another, with the Amazon being a wet jungle and the Cerrado being a dry savanna covered in grasses, …
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A research collaboration led by a physicist from the Missouri University of Science and Technology has made significant strides in the study of light by utilizing a cutting-edge computational process. This process has accelerated and expanded the scope of numerical simulations, facilitating the observation of a phenomenon known as Anderson localization, …
Three perspectives of the so-called Fermi surface of the studied material, i.e., the surface on which the electrons move. On the left, the experimental result, in the center and on the right, the theoretical modeling. The red and blue colors represent a measure of the speed of the electrons. Both theory and experiment reflect the …
Aarhus University researchers, Minke Nijenhuis, Kurt Gothelf, and Lise Refstrup Linnebjerg Pedersen, have developed a revolutionary new method called triplex origami, which allows for the manipulation of DNA structure and compaction. This method utilizes triplex-forming strands to fold and bend double-stranded DNA, creating compact structures. The researchers have demonstrated that this technique can be used …
Rotating globe getty By extracting water from underground sources, humans have caused a substantial shift in the Earth’s position, tilting it about 80 centimeters (31.5 inches) eastward in the past three decades. During a process known as polar motion, the Earth’s rotational poles, which are the points around which the planet rotates, move in relation …
