Chicken consumption has doubled in the U.S. since 1980, breezing past beef in 2010. But nearly three-quarters of production costs in the industry are bound up in what the birds eat.

In Europe as a whole, the increase in deaths from hot weather over the next century will outweigh the decline in deaths from cold weather, but in colder countries such as the UK, temperature-related deaths will decline overall In Europe as a whole, the increase in deaths from hot weather over the next century will outweigh…
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new dye that can strongly absorb second near-IR radiation and transform it to heat. Starting with a dye from the bile pigment family, they designed a unique ring structure which can bind rhodium and iridium. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new dye that can strongly…
In living organisms, protein molecules with different chemical structures called proteoforms, are produced from a single gene to perform a variety of physiological protein functions. It has been known for quite some time that humans have approximately 22,000 genes, but the total number of human proteoforms is still unknown. In living organisms, protein molecules with different…
Climate change will likely result in a significant rise in deaths from heat across Europe, substantially surpassing any decrease in cold-related deaths. This trend persists across climate change scenarios and even under high adaptation to heat, reinforcing the need for aggressive mitigation policies. Climate change will likely result in a significant rise in deaths from heat…
Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It’s responsible for the orbits of the planets and their satellites, but there are other forces that have shaped our planetary neighborhood. Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force…
Research conducted by an international team and led by biologists at the University of Kentucky has found that the ability to regenerate complex tissue may be more widespread in mammals than previously thought—an important step toward figuring out why many mammals, and humans in particular, have poor regenerative ability. Basic research studies like this hold…
There might be a type of exoplanet without dry land. They’re called “Hycean” worlds, a portmanteau of “hydrogen” and “ocean.” They’re mostly or entirely covered in oceans and have thick hydrogen atmospheres.

A team of paleoanthropologists and geneticists from Aix Marseille Univ, CNRS, EFS, ADES has found evidence of what may have been a contributing factor to the decline of Neanderthals. In their paper published in the journal Scientific Reports, the group describes how they conducted genetic sequencing of three hominid gene populations to learn more about…
Climate change is melting away glaciers around the world, but in the Andes Mountains, a wild relative of the llama is helping local ecosystems adapt to these changes by dropping big piles of dung.
