| The ethics of digital technology in the food sector – the future of data sharing Posted: 12 Nov 2021 09:15 AM PST Imagine a world in which smart packaging for supermarket ready meals updates you in real-time to tell you about carbon footprints, gives live warnings on product recalls, and instant safety alerts because allergens were detected unexpectedly in the factory. But how much extra energy would be used powering such a system? And what if an accidental alert meant you were told to throw away your food for no reason? |
| More evidence of an evolutionary ‘arms race’ between genes and selfish genetic elements Posted: 12 Nov 2021 07:05 AM PST Researchers discover further evidence of an evolutionary arms race within organisms -- and the mechanisms at play in this arms race -- to combat selfish genetic elements. |
| ESR-STM on single molecules and molecule-based structures Posted: 11 Nov 2021 12:43 PM PST Researchers extend single-atom electron spin resonance with STM from atoms to molecules, opening the power of synthetic chemistry to engineer their quantum states. |
| Sea urchins' ballistic escape from predators Posted: 11 Nov 2021 10:04 AM PST New research shows that sea urchins, albeit having a limited and ancestral sensory system, can show a complex behaviour when escaping a predator. These marine invertebrates tend to move slowly and with unpredictable movements, but when they smell a predator, they escape following a ballistic motion -- straightforward, quick and directional -- to escape the threat. |
