Scientists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have uncovered for the first time the "ingenious" biological strategies that allow blue-tailed damselflies to produce strikingly vivid, angle-independent colors. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides a new blueprint for creating sustainable, highly saturated photonic materials that could replace toxic synthetic pigments in industries ranging from cosmetics to textiles.

Our brain prepares the body for an incoming meal before we even take the first bite. The aroma of food simmering on the stove, for instance, can trigger the brain to send signals to the pancreas, which in turn releases insulin into the bloodstream. A new Nature Metabolism study reveals how a key group of neurons helps mediate this process.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a powerful tool for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, enabling researchers to identify fish species from traces of DNA found in water without using invasive techniques on fish. Although this technique is gaining traction, it introduces certain biases and uncertainties at various stages, thereby affecting the production of reliable eDNA results. This challenge underscores the need to understand the technique's strengths and limitations.
