Summary A new study reveals that the evolutionary changes to the carpus (wrist) in theropods, particularly concerning the pisiform bone, occurred before the emergence of avian flight. Previously thought to…
First returned rock samples shine a light on the Moon’s ‘dark side’ Soil samples from the far side of the Moon provide clues about the origin of lunar asymmetry and…
Summary Recent findings have shown that weight-loss surgery leads to significant cellular changes in adipose tissue, which may play a vital role in the metabolic improvements associated with these procedures.…
Millions of tonnes of nanoplastics are polluting the ocean Recent studies have uncovered alarming levels of nanoplastics, particles less than one micrometre in size, polluting the oceans. Researchers have found…
This article discusses the significant findings from the analysis of an Early Miocene rhinocerotid fossil, specifically examining the molecular evidence that allows for the phylogenetic placement of ancient species using…
Mapping the chemical complexity of plastics addresses the urgent global issue of plastic pollution by providing a comprehensive inventory of over 16,000 known plastic chemicals. This report outlines how the…
This article presents groundbreaking research on ancient proteins found in fossil specimens from the Turkana Basin in Kenya, shedding light on the enamel proteomes of extinct mammals. It explores how…
This article discusses the phenomenon of spontaneous two-photon emission (STPE) from single quantum dots, revealing how it can produce light with significant quantum correlations. By coupling a semiconductor quantum dot…
Summary This article presents a novel approach to moiré heterostructures created by twisting monolayers with triangular lattices and low-energy states at the M point of the Brillouin zone. These M-point…
Content Summary This article discusses a innovative platform for synthesising deuterated acids and bases using bipolar membranes (BPMs). It highlights how this method leverages heavy water dissociation to produce crucial…
