80-atom boron 'buckyball' finally steps into nanotechnology's spotlight

The nanoscale world appears to have a new ball to kick around. Researchers from Brown University have shown the first experimental evidence for a "buckyball" molecule made from 80 boron atoms. The new structure is the cousin of the carbon buckyball, known formally as Buckminsterfullerene—a soccer ball-shaped molecule made from 60 carbon atoms that helped launch the nanotechnology revolution when it was discovered just over 40 years ago.

Acoustic environment may explain why some bird songs outlast others

From melodic morning choruses to territorial songs that echo through forests and grasslands, birds rely on vocalizations to communicate, attract mates and defend valuable habitat. For songbirds, these vocal displays are not simply inherited instincts. Like human language, many bird songs are learned through a complex process of listening, imitation and practice.

Giant kelp's microscopic light antenna could inspire innovative climate solutions

New research reveals the microscopic machinery that helps giant kelp turn sunlight into energy, providing inspiration for innovative climate solutions. The study, published in Nature Communications, mapped one of the tiny antenna-like structures kelp uses for photosynthesis. Their unique architecture may hold the key to why kelp are the most efficient ocean organisms at capturing light and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
