Tourist Photos Can Help Gauge Ecological Changes in Antarctica
Stony Brook University

A Stony Brook University-led research team has created a computerized method in which photos of penguins in Antarctica taken by tourists can be analyzed by the technique to decipher the location of the photo, thereby indicating the location of penguins over time and providing a clue as to what is causing changes in their abundance and distribution.

New Survey from Heterodox Academy and College Pulse of 1,500+ Canadian Undergraduates Shows Fear of Free Expression on Campus
Heterodox Academy

Heterodox Academy (HxA), a non-partisan, non-profit organization committed to improving institutions of higher education by advocating principles of open inquiry, viewpoint diversity, and constructive disagreement, along with College Pulse, the leading survey research and analytics company focused on capturing the voices of today's college students, released new survey results about the state of open inquiry and campus expression across Canadian colleges and universities.

Mayo Clinic Researchers Recommend Alternatives to Hysterectomy for Uterine Fibroids, According to Study
Mayo Clinic

Uterine fibroids are a common condition that affects up to 80% of women in their lifetime. Nearly half of those women will experience symptoms that affect their quality of life and fertility, including severe pain and anemia. Uterine fibroids are the major reason for the removal of the uterus by hysterectomy. However, Mayo Clinic researchers recommend minimally invasive treatment alternatives to hysterectomy, in an invited clinical practice paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Atomic-Level Heterostructures for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution
Chinese Academy of Sciences

This study presents a novel approach utilizing the concentration gradient of thiourea dissociation products to synthesize a CdNCN-CdS composite photocatalyst with an atomic-level heterostructure (NCN-Cd-S). The strong electron affinity of CdNCN and efficient electron transfer at the interface enhance photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, achieving a record-high rate of 14.7 mmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹ under visible light, surpassing other CdS-based composites.

Population Genetic Characteristics of Two Hybrid Crucian Carp Strains
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Researchers investigated the population characteristics of two hybrid crucian carp strains based on one nuclear gene molecular marker, Transferrin (Tf). Interestingly, the nucleotide diversity of Tf alleles in cultured populations exceeded that of wild populations, and the network and genetic structure analyses failed to distinguish between wild and cultured populations. Additionally, AMOVA analysis indicated genetic differentiation among all six populations, the majority of the genetic variation (92.00%) was observed within populations. These findings providing an alternative perspective for germplasm evaluation of hybrid varieties and crucian carp breeding.

“Seeing” More Sharply into Self-Assembled Nanomaterials
Department of Energy, Office of Science

To build nanostructures, researchers need to probe these structures’ internal architecture at various states of assembly in three dimensions. This project used several methods to produce X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans that provided record-setting, 7-nanometer resolution and information on the elements in the materials. The researchers then constructed 3-D frameworks to reveal the nanostructures’ imperfections and interfaces.
