BIOINFORMATIC APPROACH HELPED TO IDENTIFY THE CHROMOSOMAL REVOLUTION IN BUTTERFLIES

2023-03-10 16:52 Bioinformatics used new computer technologies to study the structure of chromosomes and tested them on marigold butterflies. So it was possible to see unusual traces of rapid chromosomal evolution: some chromosomes merged together, and some of their sections turned 180 degrees. It was previously impossible to assume such large changes, because even in the best microscope, the chromosomes of butterflies are ...

THE FIRST RESULTS OF THE BAIKAL NEUTRINO EXPERIMENT BAIKAL-GVD ON THE SEARCH FOR NEUTRINOS OF ASTROPHYSICAL NATURE PUBLISHED

2023-02-24 17:03 The article of the Baikal-GVD collaboration was published in the authoritative scientific journal Physical Review D. It published the first results of the search for astrophysical neutrinos based on data collected by the Baikal deep-sea neutrino telescope Baikal-GVD. The presence of an astrophysical neutrino flux, previously detected by the Antarctic neutrino telescope IceCube, has been confirmed. The Baika...

Global Tourism Resilience Day 17 February

2023-02-17 11:42 For many developing countries, including the least developed countries, small island developing states, countries in Africa and middle-income countries, tourism is a major source of income, foreign currency earnings, tax revenue and employment. Because tourism connects people with nature, sustainable tourism has the unique ability to spur environmental responsibility and conservation. Sustainable tourism, ...

PLATINUM CATALYST FOR MULTIPLE USE WILL REDUCE THE COST OF SILICONE PRODUCTION AND PROTECT NATURE FROM POLLUTION

2023-02-10 11:48 Russian scientists have synthesized a stable platinum catalyst that can be used repeatedly — at least 45 times — to accelerate chemical reactions. It will reduce the cost of silicone production, as well as reduce environmental pollution with toxic platinum-based catalysts. The results of the study, supported by grants from the Russian Science Foundation (RNF), are published in the Journal of Catalysis. Sil...

Texas A&M-Led Research Team Identifies Oldest Bone Spear Point In The Americas

2023-02-03 15:28 A team of researchers led by a Texas A&M University professor has identified the Manis bone projectile point as the oldest weapon made of bone ever found in the Americas at 13,900 years. Dr. Michael Waters, distinguished professor of anthropology and director of Texas A&M’s Center for the Study of First Americans, led the team whose findings were published this week in Science Advances. The team studied b...
