Researchers develop innovative model to study sense of smell
Using a newly devised, three-dimensional model to study the regeneration of nerve tissue in the nose, researchers have discovered that one type of stem cell thought to be dormant may play a more significant role in preserving the sense of smell than originally believed. …read more
Collaboration can unlock Australia’s energy transition without sacrificing natural capital
New research demonstrates that with collaboration between stakeholders, Australia can fully decarbonize its domestic and energy export economies by 2060 — a feat requiring $6.2 trillion USD and around 110,000 square kilomters of land — while avoiding harm to important areas for biodiversity outcomes, safeguarding agricultural activities, and respecting Indigenous land rights. …read more
Decades-old assumptions about brain plasticity upended
A new study challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites — not a shared site — to achieve different types of plasticity. …read more
Researchers develop recyclable, healable electronics
Electronics often get thrown away after use because recycling them requires extensive work for little payoff. Researchers have now found a way to change the game. …read more
Long shot science leads to revised age for land-animal ancestor
The fossils of ancient salamander-like creatures in Scotland are among the most well-preserved examples of early stem tetrapods — some of the first animals to make the transition from water to land. Thanks to new research, scientists believe that these creatures are 14 million years older than previously thought. The new age — dating back to 346 million years ago — adds to the significance of the find because it places the specimens in a mysterious hole in the fossil record called Romer’s Gap. …read more

Listening to electrons talk
Researchers present new experimental and theoretical results for the bound electron g-factor in lithium-like tin which has a much higher nuclear charge than any previous measurement. The experimental accuracy reached a level of 0.5 parts per billion. Using an enhanced interelectronic QED method, the theoretical prediction for the g-factor reached a precision of 6 parts per billion. …read more

Save twice the ice by limiting global warming
A new study finds that if global warming exceeds the Paris Climate Agreement targets, the non-polar glacier mass will diminish significantly. However, if warming is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius, at least 54 per cent could be preserved — more than twice as much ice as in a 2.7 C scenario. …read more
