Captured carbon dioxide (CO₂) could be stored deep beneath the German North Sea. However, due to limited storage capacity and potential environmental risks, this option should only be used for residual emissions that remain unavoidable—even under ambitious climate policies. Captured carbon dioxide (CO₂) could be stored deep beneath the German North Sea. However, due to limited…
The European catfish is the largest freshwater fish in Europe, reaching up to 2.8 meters in length and 130 kg in weight. It was first detected in Portugal in 2014. As a top predator, it has no natural enemies and exhibits high fecundity, with females capable of producing up to half a million oocytes (unfertilized…
Lead researchers Nicole Hiekel from the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) and Katia Begall from the Radboud Universiteit examined how gender role attitudes influence family planning decisions. The researchers analyzed survey data collected between 2020 and 2022 from the Generations and Gender Program for Denmark, Finland and Norway. “We specifically chose Scandinavian countries…
A new study posted to the SSRN preprint server by researchers from the University of Mannheim and the University of Essex shows that male and female fund managers invest in different sectors—influenced by their own consumption preferences. This has a significant effect on fund performance. A new study posted to the SSRN preprint server by researchers…

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, inside plant cells using a technique that results in a visible fluorescent signal. The technology can help researchers detect and track changes in RNA and gene expression in real time, providing a powerful tool for the development of…

Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy has revolutionized biology by visualizing dynamic cellular processes in three dimensions. However, light scattering in thick tissue and photobleaching of fluorescent reporters limit this method to studying thin or … Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy has revolutionized biology by visualizing dynamic cellular processes in three dimensions.
