Twilight zone reefs
24-10-2023…which reefs commonly occur, is the mesophotic zone, also known as the twilight zone, located usually at the depths of 30-150 meters. This is a depth interval with a very limited penetration of water by light, which enforces some peculiar and characteristic ecological adaptations of the organisms that inhibit it. The oldest found so far reefs of the mesophotic zone, constructed mainly by corals and stromatoporoids (an extinct group of sponges with…

Study of brain cells

A mutation induced in astrocytes of mouse pups resulted in atypical responses to social stimuli in adult mice, e.g. an increase in social interaction was observed. “By increasing the number of synapses in the corte…

A way to reduce carbone dioxide
20-10-2023…and the California Institute of Technology presented two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks with significantly improved methane and ethylene formation yield. Research findings were published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals such as methane, ethylene, and ethanol is a significant process regarding environment-friendly energy production. Scientific research prov…

Conversion of quantum information Whenever one listens to a song on a phone or computer, a conversion of information happens – a file digitally encoded in one’s device’s memory is converted to an electric current driving the headphones. “Similarly, we can convert quantum information encoded in photons – the smallest quanta of light. For example, we can transf…
