Zebra finch chicks don’t babble for no reason

When babies learn to talk or birds learn to sing, the same principle applies: listen and then imitate. This is how the first babble becomes the first word or vocalization….

Trash to treasure

Researchers turn metal waste into catalyst for hydrogen. Scientists have found a way to transform metal waste into a highly efficient catalyst to make hydrogen from water, a discovery that…

Bumblebees Don’t Care about Pesticide Cocktails

In their natural environment, wild bees are exposed to various pesticides that can have a potentially toxic effect. A study by the University of Würzburg has now shown that bumblebees…

How blue-green algae manipulate microorganisms

Research team at the University of Freiburg discovers previously unknown gene that indirectly promotes photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria – also called blue-green algae – are known as the “plants of the ocean”…

Boron deficiency: oilseed rape reacts as with infection and pest infestation

Genetic mechanisms uncovered… Boron deficiency has a devastating effect on oilseed rape and related plants. However, little is known about the underlying genetic mechanisms. A study shows that the response…

A closer look at mechanochemistry

Ferdi Schüth and his team at the Max Planck Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim/Germany have been studying the phenomena of mechanochemistry for several years. But what actually happens at the…
