| New study confirms the power of Deinosuchus and its 'teeth the size of bananas' Posted: 10 Aug 2020 11:10 AM PDT A new study, revisiting fossil specimens from the enormous crocodylian, Deinosuchus, has confirmed that the beast had teeth 'the size of bananas', capable to take down even the very largest of dinosaurs. |
| Biology blurs line between sexes, behaviors Posted: 10 Aug 2020 11:09 AM PDT Biological sex is typically understood in binary terms: male and female. However, there are many examples of animals that are able to modify sex-typical biological and behavioral features and even change sex. A new study identifies a genetic switch in brain cells that can toggle between sex-specific states when necessary, findings that question the idea of sex as a fixed property. |
| Nanocatalysts that remotely control chemical reactions inside living cells Posted: 10 Aug 2020 07:33 AM PDT The enzymes responsible for catalytic reactions in our body's biological reactions are difficult to use for diagnosis or treatment as they react only to certain molecules or have low stability. Many researchers anticipate that if these issues are ameliorated or if artificial catalysts are developed to create a synergetic effect by meeting the enzymes in the body, there will be new ways to diagnose and treat diseases. In particular, if artificial catalysts that respond to external stimuli such as magnetic fields are developed, new treatment methods that remotely control bioreactions from outside the body can become a reality. |
| Grasshopper jumping on Bloch sphere finds new quantum insights Posted: 10 Aug 2020 07:32 AM PDT New research has (pardon the pun) put a new spin on a mathematical analogy involving a jumping grasshopper and its ideal lawn shape. This work could help us understand the spin states of quantum-entangled particles. |
