Big-Data Science in Porous Materials
By combining metal nodes with organic linkers we can potentially synthesize millions of possible metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Kevin…
Short-tailed shearwaters breeding in Australia forage in Antarctic waters
Nick Klomp discusses the first proof that short-tailed shearwaters Puffinus tenuirostris breeding in Australia forage in Antarctic waters.…
Photophobic and phototropic movement of a self-oscillating gel
A photosensitive self-oscillating gel that incorporates the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction can undergo rhythmic mechanical oscillations. Irving Epstein discusses the…
The neurophysiologic basis of immobilization-induced skeletal muscle decline
Short-term limb immobilization results in skeletal muscle decline, but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Christopher Gaffney discusses…
Human Astrocytes and Hypoxia
Hypoxia is a feature of neurodegenerative diseases, and can both directly and indirectly impact on neuronal function through…
Plasmodium knowlesi: experimental model, zoonotic pathogen and golden opportunity?
Janet Cox-Singh discusses Plasmodium knowlesi and why it be time to reconsider P. knowlesi as a candidate to…
How SAGE works
SAGE, the Science Advisory Group for Emergencies, is a formal part of the UK government’s emergency response structure…
Statistics and Scientific Method
Peter Diggle discusses how core statistical ideas of experimental design, modelling, and data analysis are integral to the scientific method
Evolution of large-scale flow from turbulence in a two-dimensional superfluid
Nonequilibrium interacting systems can evolve to exhibit large-scale structure and order. Lars Onsager proposed a statistical hydrodynamic model…
Food insecurity increases energetic efficiency, not food consumption
Food insecurity—defined as limited or unpredictable access to nutritionally adequate food—is associated with higher body mass in humans…
