Attack on 2 fronts leads ocean bacteria to require carbon boost
The types of ocean bacteria known to absorb carbon dioxide from the air require more energy — in the form of carbon — and other resources when they’re simultaneously infected by viruses and face attack from nearby predators, new research has found.
Nanoporous intermetallic compounds that boost hydrogen production
Hydrogen, a clean fuel, is incredibly dense in energy — three times more than diesel or gasoline. Its ability to power a sustainable future has been hindered by a lack of high performing catalysts. Now, a collaborative research group has developed nan…
Reliably estimating proportion of vaccinated populations in wildlife
Researchers develop a ground-breaking model to estimate bait vaccination effectiveness in wild animals based on the proportion of immunized animals in a population and the number of vaccine applications.
Color-changing fibers for smart clothes
When we think about clothing, we usually think of it as something we wear to cover our body, convey our style and protect us from the environment. What if the cloth changes its visual appearance when you stretch your hand?… such mechanoresponsive mat…

Native predatory fish help control invasive species in Hawaiian fishpond
Jacks and barracuda in He?eia fishpond were found to feed on Australian mullet, an invasive species introduced to Oahu waters in the 1950s. This recently published finding suggests that these native predatory fish may provide a form of biocontrol on po…
