IN THE LAB
Lights, Carbon Nitride, Bone Regeneration!
Growing stem cells on carbon nitride sheets not only activates bone-related genes, but also releases calcium ions when exposed to red light.
Promiscuous Lamprey Engage In Sham Mating
Female lamprey can selectively release their eggs to the best mate during sham mating, researchers say.
Noradrenaline Improves Vision In Rats
Noradrenaline, a hormone and a neurotransmitter, could improve vision by targeting a very small subgroup of neurons or neural circuits in the brain.
Searching For Dark Matter With A Donut-Shaped Magnet
Scientists say that donut-shaped magnets can also look for axions, one of the particle candidates for the mysterious dark matter.
Fluctuating Sea Levels Threaten Southeast Asia’s Coastal Dwellers
Sea levels rose and fell two feet around 6,000 years ago in Southeast Asia, even without human-induced climate change.
Using Artificial Caterpillars To Test The ‘Enemies Hypothesis’
In tropical forests, plant diversity, plant species composition and plant structures affect the top-down control of herbivorous insects.
The World’s Thinnest Oxide Semiconductor
This oxide semiconductor is just one-atom thick, opening up new possibilities for flexible, wearable technologies.
How Do 2D Materials Crack?
To understand how thin two dimensional materials crack, we must go beyond existing theory, scientists say.
