| Electrifying motorcycle taxis in Kampala, Uganda, shows air pollution benefits Posted: 21 Feb 2022 07:23 AM PST In a new study, researchers set out to understand the air pollutant emissions impacts of electrifying motorcycle taxis in Kampala, Uganda. |
| New simple method for surveying amphibians: A vital contribution to conservation efforts Posted: 21 Feb 2022 05:57 AM PST Amphibian biodiversity is declining worldwide and collecting information about their habitats and populations via monitoring is vital for conservation efforts. However, it is difficult to accurately monitor amphibians using conventional methods. To address these issues, scientists have developed a novel technique to identify the amphibious species that live in an area through environmental DNA analysis. It is hoped that the new method will revolutionize species monitoring, as it will enable anyone to easily survey a habitat by collecting water samples. |
| The formation of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet was very different than previously believed Posted: 21 Feb 2022 05:57 AM PST Roughly 35 million years ago, Earth cooled rapidly. At roughly the same time, the Drake Passage formed between South America and the Antarctic, paving the way for the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Thanks to these two factors, Antarctica was soon completely covered in ice. This massive glaciation was delayed in at least one region. |
| Blueprint for proteins: How mRNA gets its final shape Posted: 21 Feb 2022 05:57 AM PST Proteins need to interact in a complex manner for a so-called 'messenger RNA' (mRNA) to be created in human cells from a precursor molecule. mRNA provides a blueprint for proteins; the first vaccines against the coronavirus are also based on mRNAs. Scientists have now discovered how an essential final step in the production of mRNA precisely works. |
