Warming waters in the Greenland Sea are creating summer feeding opportunities for baleen whales as fish populations shift northward into previously ice-covered regions. Researchers documented these whales exploiting newly accessible food sources in areas extending to the Arctic Circle and beyond.
Levitating molten metal on ISS could refine ultra-strong metallic glass
Researchers will remotely study metallic-glass alloys using hot, levitating droplets aboard the International Space Station starting August 31 for one week. The experiments, conducted with the European Space Agency and German Aerospace Center, aim to investigate properties of these alloys in microgravity conditions.
AI-designed “intrabodies” could unlock new treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and MND
Researchers engineered antibodies into smaller intracellular molecules that function inside human cells to combat disease. This approach may enable new treatments for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's disease, and motor neurone disease.
