The dream of flying has always fascinated humanity. In evolutionary history, the ability to fly has emerged independently only three times: in birds, pterosaurs, and, uniquely among mammals, in bats.
Medical Xpress / Long-term obesity linked to expression of aging biomarkers
Long-term obesity is associated with the expression of biomarkers denoting antagonistic and integrative aging hallmarks in adults aged 28 to 31 years, according to a study published online July 11 in JAMA Network Open.
Phys.org / Ecologists fight to restore Midwest biodiversity, starting with comprehensive plant species database
Imagine a prairie. How many plant species do you see? Maybe you're picturing yellow coneflowers, some little bluestem, perhaps a few asters. But plant ecologists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign say these ecosystems ...
Phys.org / Uranium-based catalyst turns air nitrogen into ammonia
Ammonia (NH3) is vital for agriculture, as it is the basis for fertilizers that are needed to feed the world's population. Currently, ammonia is mostly produced by the Haber-Bosch process, which turns nitrogen gas (N2) from ...
