A little-known species of tropical bee has evolved an extra tooth for biting flesh and a gut that more closely resembles that of vultures rather than other bees.

A combined experimental and computational study shows promising results for a new class of catalysts producing ammonia under mild conditions.

Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, can be captured and transformed into protein-rich feed for farmed fish -- an increasingly important food sector. A new analysis shows how to make the approach more cost-effective than current fish feeds.
