1969 US weevil release to kill thistles later harmed 30+ native plants
Introduced in 1969 to combat invasive weeds, a European beetle has turned into an ecological threat. This beetle has diversified its appetite to include over thirty native plant species, notably rare…
'Switchable' smart gel may pave way for next-gen drug delivery and sensing tech
University of Birmingham scientists have developed a new material that changes from a gel to a liquid-like state under ultraviolet light and can be rebuilt using heat or dismantled by acid.
Plants could transform how scientists measure the climate benefits of tidal marshes
Growing up in New Jersey, Emily Wilson regularly passed tidal marshes without giving them much thought. They were part of the coastal landscape—stretches of green and blue she saw from the road.
Hidden losses of amphibians and dragonflies in Berlin's municipal water supply
A new study led by researchers at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin shows that Berlin's dragonfly populations have declined by more than half since 1963, while populations of frogs, toads and newts have fallen by more than three-quarters since 1981.
'Hidden stars' suggest that distant galaxies are much more massive than they appear
Astronomers have discovered that the most massive galaxies in the early universe contain far more small stars than expected. As a result, these early galaxies were likely much more massive than initial measurements suggested. This discovery challenges current understanding about how the first galaxies formed.
3D-printed membrane increases oxygen transfer in artificial lungs by up to 88%
For people with severe lung diseases, a transplant of a healthy organ is often their only chance of survival. However, donor lungs are in short supply. A new artificial lung could provide a solution.
