In a paper published in the journal BMC Biology, paleontologists described an extinct species of koinobiont parasitoid wasp found in mid-Cretaceous amber from the Kachin region of Myanmar. The post Bizarre Parasitoid Wasp Species Found Preserved in Kachin Amber appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News. In a paper published in the journal BMC Biology,…
When Brisbane was awarded the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, it came with a widely publicized landmark promise: the world’s first “climate-positive” games.

School principals around Australia are responsible for about 4.5 million staff and students in almost 10,000 schools. Not only do they oversee students’ progress, but they are also responsible for the performance of staff and the well-being of everyone at their school. Their jobs are huge.

For young people in the early stages of their career, the idea of waiting 40 years or more to retire might feel like a marathon. For those already feeling burned out, it can be an excruciating thought. For young people in the early stages of their career, the idea of waiting 40 years or more to…
Researchers have unveiled a novel immune mechanism by which tandem kinases combat pathogen invasion: an atypical NLR protein, WTN1 (Wheat Tandem NBD 1), partners with the tandem kinase WTK3 to detect pathogen effectors and initiate immune responses, thereby conferring resistance to multiple fungal diseases in wheat. Researchers have unveiled a novel immune mechanism by which tandem…

Seeking to mimic self-assembly processes that occur naturally, RIKEN researchers have demonstrated that the self-assembly of rod-shaped viruses can be controlled by applying a magnetic field. This could help in the development of artificial self-assembly processes that are more controllable than existing ones. The study is published in Nature Communications. Seeking to mimic self-assembly processes that…
In the quest for next-generation energy, sensing, and pigment technologies, semiconducting metal oxides like titanium dioxide (TiO₂) have emerged as essential materials due to their abundance, stability, and intriguing photophysical properties. But there’s a catch: Their surfaces—where most chemical interactions occur—often behave unpredictably, limiting their performance in applications ranging from photocatalysis to solar energy harvesting. In…
