Tectonics in the tropics trigger Earth's ice ages

Over the last 540 million years, the Earth has weathered three major ice ages -- periods during which global temperatures plummeted, producing extensive ice sheets and glaciers that have stretched beyond the polar caps. Now scientists have identified the likely trigger for these ice ages. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190314151645.htm

Design and validation of world-class multilayered thermal emitter using machine learning

Scientists designed a multilayered metamaterial that realizes ultra-narrowband wavelength-selective thermal emission by combining the machine learning (Bayesian optimization) and thermal emission properties calculations (electromagnetic calculation). The joint team then experimentally fabricated the designed metamaterial and verified the performance. These results may facilitate the development of highly efficient energy devices. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190315100056.htm

Sea quark surprise reveals deeper complexity in proton spin puzzle

New data from the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) add detail -- and complexity -- to an intriguing puzzle that scientists have been seeking to solve: how the building blocks that make up a proton contribute to its spin. The results reveal that different 'flavors' of antiquarks contribute differently to the proton's overall spin -- and in a way that's opposite to those flavors' relative abundance. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190314192651.htm

Scientists track patterns of island growth in crystals

Scientists have found that the seemingly random arrangement of islands that form to begin new layers during crystal growth can actually be very similar from layer to layer. The discovery may help scientists better understand of some of the mechanisms behind defect formation, as well as develop techniques to synthesize new types of crystals. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190315095810.htm

With single gene insertion, blind mice regain sight

People left blind by retinal degeneration have one option: electronic eye implants. Neuroscientists have now developed an alternative: gene therapy that, in tests, restored vision in blind mice. A gene for green opsin delivered via virus gave blind mice enough sight to discern patterns on an iPad at a resolution sufficient for humans to read. Given existing AAV eye therapies already approved, this new therapy could be ready for clinical trials in three years. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190315095808.htm

Pests and the plant defenses against them drive diversity in tropical rainforests

Researchers have been baffled by tropical rainforest diversity for over a century; 650 different tree species can exist in an area covering two football fields, yet similar species never grow next to each other. It seems like it's good to be different than your neighbors, but why? from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190314151548.htm

Unique diversity of the genetic history of the Iberian Peninsula revealed by dual studies

Researchers have analyzed ancient DNA from almost 300 individuals from the Iberian Peninsula, spanning more than 12,000 years. The first study looked at hunter-gatherers and early farmers living in Iberia between 13,000 and 6,000 years ago. The second looked at individuals from the region over the last 8000 years. Together, the two papers greatly increase our knowledge about the population history of this unique region. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190314151551.htm

From mirror-image biology to enhanced therapeutic proteins

Scientists have succeeded in reconstructing biomolecules in their mirror-image form. The researchers' goal is to create a mirror-image artificial protein synthesis system. Their aim is to produce mirror-image therapeutic proteins, such as antibodies, which would be protected from biological breakdown in the body and do not provoke any immune response. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190314151702.htm

Duplicate or mirror?

Seven of the ten most frequent medications contain chiral agents. These are molecules that occur in right- or left-handed forms. During chemical synthesis both forms usually occur in equal parts and have to be separated afterward, because chirality determines the agent's effect in the body. Physicists have now succeeded in using laser light for the purpose of creating either right- or left-handed molecules. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190314111012.htm
