Researcher in China have mapped the spatiotemporal evolution of charge transfers in cuprous oxide photocatalyst particles, integrating three different techniques to reveal a holistic picture of the complex charge-transport mechanisms.
Scientists from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology have discovered two fossil repositories in the early Silurian strata in southwestern Chongqing and Guizhou, which are rewriting the evolutionary story of "from fish to human".
Researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology have found evidence to support the hypothesis that dinosaurs were not very diverse before their extinction and had declined overall during the last part of the Cretaceous.
Evolutionary chromosomal changes may take a million years in nature, but researchers are now reporting a novel technique enabling programmable chromosome fusion that has successfully produced mice with genetic changes that occur on a million-year evolutionary scale in the laboratory.
The hybrid magnet at the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility in Hefei, China set a world record for the highest steady magnetic field by a working magnet when it produced a steady field of 45.22 tesla on Aug. 12. It broke the previous world record of 45 tesla set in 1999.
Emma Lavaut and her colleagues found that a species of red seaweed uses the isopod crustacean Idotea balthica to transfer its male gametes for fertilization. Researchers recently concluded that the significantly expands the phylogenetic and temporal scope of animal-mediated male gamete movement, bringing the concept of "pollination" from plants to algae.
