Researchers study feed efficiency of pregnant Angus heifers
Principal coordinate analysis based on unweighted (A) and weighted (B) UniFrac distances of different levels of residual dietary intake. Analyzes based on 9999 permutations. Low RFI is represented by a blue circle…
Controlled rebound, evaporation and transport of droplets on a water-repellent surface
An easy and industrially applicable method to fabricate an extreme wettability surface on an Al-based superhydrophobic surface by a composite process of electrochemical mask etching and micro-milling (Fig. 1S1). Controlled droplet evaporation…
Why the stunning ‘Pillars of Creation’ photo from the James Webb Space Telescope has astronomers buzzing
The James Webb Space Telescope has taken a breathtaking look inside the “Pillars of Creation”, a spectacular formation of dust clouds made famous by its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope. The image…
NASA provides time-lapse movie showing how the universe has changed in 12 years
The Universe is over 13 billion years old, so a 12-year slice of that time may seem uneventful. But a NASA sped-up movie shows just how much that can change in just…
UK’s oldest human DNA obtained, revealing two distinct Paleolithic populations
The earliest genetic data from Paleolithic human individuals in the UK – the oldest human DNA obtained from the British Isles to date – points to the presence of two distinct groups…
Gestational exposure to flame retardant alters brain development in rats
New study from North Carolina State University shows that in utero exposure to FireMaster® 550 (FM 550) flame retardant, or its individual brominated (BFR) or organophosphate (OPFR) components, resulted in impaired brain…
CRISPR-Cas9: Even Good Gene Edits Can Go Bad: Finding Large Deletions, Other Abnormalities in CRISPR-Cas9 Edit ‘On Target’
A Rice University lab is leading efforts to reveal potential threats to the efficacy and safety of therapies based on CRISPR-Cas9, the Nobel Prize-winning gene-editing technique, even when it appears to work…
A disaster researcher’s career path is strewn with rocks
Mika McKinnon loves rocks. It’s a trait she seems to have passed on to her toddler who loves picking up rocks and giving them to strangers to make friends with. Rocks edges…
