There’s a term that crops up whenever Aotearoa New Zealand’s political debates turn to the Treaty of Waitangi and its contemporary relevance: “race relations.” There’s a term that crops up whenever Aotearoa New Zealand’s political debates turn to the Treaty of Waitangi and its contemporary relevance: “race relations.” Social Sciences Political science Phys.org – latest science and technology…
In recent years, machine learning models have become increasingly popular for risk assessment of chemical compounds. However, they are often considered “black boxes” due to their lack of transparency, leading to skepticism among toxicologists and regulatory authorities.

Together with a European team, researchers from Senckenberg am Meer in Wilhelmshaven have described a new fish species. Gaidropsarus mauritanicus is only about 73 millimeters long and lives in the deep-water coral reefs off the coast of Mauritania.

In polymers, the competition between the folding and aggregation of chains, both at an individual level and between chains, can determine the mechanical, thermal, and conductive properties of such materials. Understanding the interplay of folding and aggregation presents a significant opportunity for the development and discovery of polymeric materials with tailored properties and functionalities. In polymers,…
Aromatic ketones have long been valuable intermediates in chemical synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions where different chemical entities are combined to form new compounds. For instance, a process called deacylative cross-coupling removes the acyl group from the aromatic ketone, allowing it to bond with other chemicals and produce a wide variety of useful compounds. These…
More than 75% of the food consumed in the world today comes from just 12 plant and five animal species. The over-dependence on this small selection, which includes rice, maize and wheat, damages the environment and human health, and it makes our globalized food system vulnerable to shocks. But on top of all this, it…
More than 80% of Australians with children encourage them to read. Children whose parents enjoy reading are 20% more likely to enjoy it too.

A first-of-its-kind adaptive 3D printing system developed by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers can identify the positions of randomly distributed organisms and safely move them to specific locations for assembly. This autonomous technology will save researchers time and money in bioimaging, cybernetics, cryopreservation, and devices that integrate living organisms. A first-of-its-kind adaptive 3D printing system…
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have succeeded in something that has been pursued since the 1970s: explaining the X-ray radiation from black hole surroundings. The radiation originates from the combined effect of the chaotic movements of magnetic fields and turbulent plasma gas. Researchers at the University of Helsinki have succeeded in something that has been…
