The Changing Water Cycle: Burabay National Nature Park, Northern Kazakhstan
In a recent review, the hydrological cycle of the small lakes within Burabay National Nature Park (BNNP), Northern Kazakhstan are studied, which are very sensitive to climate change and anthropogenic influences.
Climate Information Websites: An Evolving Landscape
The average person seeking climate information is likely to begin with the internet, and this quickly leads to a confusing array of very dissimilar climate information websites. A recent article reviews a representative sample of such websites from across the world, and draws out key issues for consideration in the ongoing evolution of them.
Glowing miRNA in vivo
A DNA molecular machine powered by double-stranded fuel strands enables visualization of microRNAs in tumor bearing mice.
Versatile Electronic Skins for Motion Detection of Joints
The human skin is an organ with amazing sensory properties. It can pick up a variety of sensations from its environment. Mimicking those properties in wearable electronics skins would offer a variety of applications for human–machine communication— imagine if you...
Regenerative Polymeric Coatings Enabled by Pressure Responsive Surface Valves
A regenerative coating system inspired by biology that is a simplified synthetic analog of skin, with a vascularized substrate (dermis-like) and protective coating (epidermis-like) is demonstrated.
