Looking to un-loch solar energy potential
Scotland's vast lochs may hold the key to future solar energy production, according to researchers at Glasgow Caledonian University. A team from the University's School of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment has secured funding to…
Declining deer population likely due to natural regulation
The population of the Yakushima sika deer has declined due to natural factors, suggesting that the population can be regulated without culling, according to new research. The Yakushima sika deer (yakushika: Cervus nippon yakushimae), a…
Hi-CO unravels the complex packing of nucleosomes
Scientists at Kyoto University’s Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) in Japan have developed a technology that produces high-resolution simulations of one of the basic units of our genomes, called the nucleosome. Their findings were…
