For the better part of 17 years, the roiling, rolling, fractious, sometimes funny, sometimes horrifying, never-ever-ending global conversation had a central home: Twitter. If you wanted to know what was happening and what people were talking about right now, it was the only game in town.  But then Elon Musk purchased Twitter, renamed it X, fired most of its employees, and more or less eliminated its moderation and verification systems. Many people have begun casting about for a replacement service—ideally one that is…

A new study has revealed a quantum switching mechanism in Light-harvesting complex II (LHCII), crucial for efficient photosynthesis. This discovery, achieved through advanced cryo-EM and theoretical calculations, confirms LHCII’s dynamic role in regulating energy transfer in plants. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Photosynthesis is a vital process enabling plants to transform carbon dioxide into organic compounds using sunlight. The Light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) consists of pigment molecules attached to proteins. It…

ANI Washington, February 4 Weathering is the process by which rocks, rain, and carbon dioxide help govern the Earth's climate over thousands of years, much like a thermostat. A new study performed by Penn State scientists could help us better understand how this thermostat reacts to temperature changes. "Life has been on this planet for billions of years, so we know Earth's temperature has remained consistent enough for there to be liquid water and to support life," said Susan Brantley, Evan Pugh University Professor…

CA is gaseous PCB in the atmosphere, CW is dissolved PCB in the water, CWP is phytoplankton-bound PCB, and CWD is detritus-bound PCB. The fields in the boxes to the right are input data for PCB simulation.

You must have seen various instances in which you might have been stopped by police at a traffic signal to clear the way for a convoy of a politician or a VIP. However, there are very few instances in which politicians behave just like any other ordinary citizen of India. In one such rare example, the Member of Parliament (MP) from Maharashtra, Mrs Supriya Sule, was seen clearing a traffic jam in one of the bustling highways of Maharashtra. The entire video of Mrs Sule clearing a traffic jam was uploaded on the…

Scientists have discovered a new signaling pathway in the brain that controls food intake, and it could eventually give us improved treatments for binge eating – perhaps even a drug that turns off the desire to binge eat at the neural level.  The particular neurons to start with here are agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons. Researchers established that AgRPs are located in the hypothalamus – which regulates numerous metabolic processes – and that they can trigger sensations of hunger when activated.In this research,…
