New disease surveillance tool helps detect any human-infecting virus

A new computational method called 'CATCH' designs molecular 'baits' for any virus known to infect humans and all their known strains, including those that are present in low abundance in clinical samples, such as Zika. The approach can help small sequencing centers around the globe conduct disease surveillance, which is crucial for controlling outbreaks. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190204124157.htm

The Caucasus: Complex interplay of genes and cultures

In the Bronze Age, the Caucasus Mountains region was a cultural and genetic contact zone. Here, cultures that originated in Mesopotamia interacted with local hunter-gatherers, Anatolian farmers, and steppe populations from just north of the mountain ranges. Here, pastoralism was developed and technologies such as the wheeled wagon and advanced metal weapons were spread to neighbouring cultures. A new study, examines new genetic evidence in concert with archaeological evidence to paint a more complete picture of the region. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190204085933.htm

Physicists uncover the topological origin of surface electromagnetic waves

In work that provides insights for several areas of wave physics -- Maxwell electromagnetism, topological quantum states, and plasmonics/metamaterials -- scientists showed that the well-known surface electromagnetic waves at interfaces between homogeneous isotropic media, obtained within classical Maxwell's electromagnetism, also have a purely topological origin, similar to quantum topological states. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190204085931.htm

Engineers harvest heart's energy to power life-saving devices

The heart's motion is so powerful that it can recharge life-saving devices, according to new research. Using a dime-sized invention, the heart's energy can be harnessed to power implantable devices, according to the study. Creating an energy source within the body could save millions of people who rely on pacemakers and other implantable devices from having to undergo surgery to replace batteries. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190204090003.htm

Much of the surface ocean will shift in color by end of 21st century

Climate change is causing significant changes to phytoplankton in the world's oceans, and a new study finds that over the coming decades these changes will affect the ocean's color, intensifying its blue regions and its green ones. Satellites should detect these changes in hue, providing early warning of wide-scale changes to marine ecosystems. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190204085950.htm
