A new tool developed by Museo Galileo researchers has restored 50 pages from fragments excised centuries ago

UBC researchers have found that more than five million amphibians and reptiles were displaced by development in British Columbia in just four years—and that there is no requirement to monitor survival rates. The paper published in the Journal of Wildlife Management is the first of its kind to document the large-scale herpetofauna relocation taking place in the province.

Researchers at University College Dublin and international collaborators have just published a detailed and accessible guide that aims to translate theoretical ideas into practical devices for quantum enhanced sensing technologies.

A Stanford team used geospatial data and detection algorithms to achieve a tenfold increase in rescues from modern slavery in the Brazilian Amazon. Now, they are planning to expand their approach.

How are heavy elements formed in the universe? Extremely neutron-rich atomic nuclei and their beta-decay rates play an important role in this process. Until now, it has been very difficult to determine these rates experimentally. Researchers at TU Darmstadt have developed theoretical predictions for such processes and successfully compared them with experimental data, where they exist. The results were published in Physical Review Letters.

An international team of researchers has reported a major advance in understanding quantum dynamics in semiconductor materials. They directly observed how excitons and phonons evolve together in perovskite nanocrystals, revealing a fully coherent quantum dance between light-induced electronic excitations and crystal lattice vibrations. They published their findings in Nature Communications.

It is difficult to identify funerary practices in Iron Age (c. 800 BC–AD 43) Britain, as human remains rarely survive. However, evidence is particularly prominent in north-west Scotland, because environmental conditions support the preservation of bone. To take advantage of this, a team of researchers from the U.K. and U.S. examined two individuals (one adult female and one juvenile male) buried in a low stone cairn at Loch Borralie in Sutherland, close to the north-west extremity of the Scottish mainland.

Many animals live in groups. Among seabirds in particular, most species form colonies during the breeding season. Although coloniality entails costs, such as increased competition for food and disease transmission, its repeated evolution across animal lineages suggests that group living provides important benefits.
