Terrestrial Accretion Under Oxidizing Conditions
Researchers find that terrestrial accretion may have occurred under more oxidizing conditions than previously thought.
Caffeine in floral nectar enhances bee memory
Caffeine found in the nectar of some flowers enhanced the memory of reward in bees causing them to return more frequently to those flowers.
Increasing nitrogen pollution in China
Nitrogen pollution from emissions and agricultural use in China are rivaling the levels seen in Europe in the 1980s.
High salt levels recruit aversive taste pathways
High salt levels hijack bitter and sour neural pathways to make your food taste gross (and keep your electrolytes balanced!)
Argon dating determines time scale of Cretaceous mass extinction
High-precision argon dating was used to analyze tektites and bentonites derived from a bolide impact associated with the mass extinction event at the boundary of the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods.
Pharmaceutical pollution alters fish behavior
Environmental pollution by pharmaceuticals shown to alter the behavior of fish in natural populations causing ecological and evolutionary consequences.
Visualization of important protein molecules
This paper uses total internal reflection microscopy (TIRF) to visualize single molecules of proteins that are important in decoding, copying, and rearranging DNA.
