Infrastructure disarray as a more appropriate metaphor for the sanitation challenges in India today.
Keep the Plasmid Party Rolling, But Keep it Cool with Structured Antisense RNAs
Bacterial plasmids constitute a wealth of shared DNA amounting to about 20% of the total prokaryotic pangenome. Plasmids replicate autonomously and control their replication by maintaining a fairly constant number of copies within a given host. Plasmids should acquire a good fitness to their hosts so that they do not constitute a genetic load.
Tales Around the Clock: poly(A) Tails in Circadian Gene Expression
Light is perhaps the main environmental cue (zeitgeber) that affects several aspects of physiology and behaviour, such as sleep/wake cycles, orientation of birds and bees, and leaf movements in plants. Temperature can serve as the main zeitgeber in the absence of light cycles, even though it does not lead to rhythmicity through the same mechanism as light.
Can We Manage Adaptation to Climate Change?
Adaptive Management has emerged as a promising approach to dealing with the complexity of the economic, political and ecological systems we live in.
Artificial Intelligence on the ISS
CIMON is the world’s first flying, autonomous astronaut assistant featuring artificial intelligence.
Tackling Diabetes: Toward Bifunctional Glucose and Dopamine Sensors with Plasma
A plasma-treated polyethylene is used as as an affordable and easy mediator to produce enzymatic glucose sensors that could be used for diabetic patients.
Climate Policies and Nationally Determined Contributions: Reconciling the Needed Ambition with the Political Economy
What it will take to stabilize global temperature below 2°C above pre-industrial levels? A new review article by Adrien Vogt-Schilb and Stephane Hallegatte discusses two potential solutions.
Co-Production in Climate Change Research: Reviewing Different Perspectives
Global environmental challenges like climate change are likewise challenging our conceptions of science, and the role of science in society. Climate science is having a growing influence on our lives – in the media, government policy, our schools or corporate...
Archaeologists Role in Water Management Issues
An opinion article addressing the unique professional understanding that archaeologists can contribute to contemporary water management.
The war against climate change: have we done enough?
Opinion: We can’t have a clean-energy revolution without molecules, polymers and materials. But what have we really done to help win the war against climate change?
