Dialog / Countering false and omitted evidence of historically heterogeneous western US dry forests and mixed-severity fires
Evidence of forest structure and fires in pre-industrial dry forests—major forests covering ~26 million hectares (64 million acres) of the western U.S.—provides an essential historical baseline. Dry forests are dominated ...

Dialog / Unraveling the novel morphological features of an elusive knee ligament
Complex and strenuous movements at the knee are modulated by ligamentous structures surrounding the joint. One of these ligaments, the anterolateral ligament (ALL), has continuously puzzled scientists due to its elusive morphological ...

Dialog / The role of energy density for grid-scale batteries
Because the sun does not shine at night but all our screens do, we need energy storage to shift solar energy production during the day to when it is needed in the evening. To cope with this intermittence of renewables, we ...

Dialog / Evidence for rainfall-triggered seismicity in intraplate domain at the earthquake of 11 November 2019 in France
On 11 November 2019, a surface-rupturing earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth (about 1 km) near Montélimar city, along the Rhône Valley in southeast France. The earthquake caused significant damage in the villages ...

Dialog / Tailoring quantum oscillations of a Bose-Einstein condensate of excitons as qubits
What plagues quantum upscaling? Most quantum computing devices are dependent on using complex physical phenomena that are either very short-lived (~10-12 seconds) and/or only survive at ultra-low temperatures (e.g., 10-3 ...

Dialog / Understanding the role of the sun in climate change
Although the sun provides nearly all the energy needed to warm the planet, its contribution to climate change remains widely questioned. Many empirically based studies claim that it has a significant effect on climate, while ...

Dialog / Electron tunneling associated with ferritin in vivo in the retina, the cochlea, macrophages and other tissues
Electron tunneling associated with ferritin was proposed as early as 1988, but it is still viewed skeptically despite substantial evidence that it occurs. In our recent paper published in IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological ...

Dialog / Researchers find a new class of biomarkers to predict treatment outcomes in cancer patients
One of the big reasons that cancer is difficult to treat is that patients respond to treatments differently, and these differences can rarely be anticipated. In most cases, determining whether and how a patient will respond ...

Dialog / Disrupted gut microbiome involved in depression, finds research
As scientists, we're accustomed to reading about our medical research topics in academic publications, such as the British Medical Journal, and not so much via scrolling through sites like Buzzfeed. However, if there is one ...
