An acoustic transmitter – or tag – emits unique signals or “pings” when scientists want to study the long-distance movement of marine animals. However, this method has limitations. Using a pioneering movement model, researchers reconstructed animal tracks and leveraged an iterative process to measure the accuracy and precision of these reconstructions from acoustic telemetry data.

Researchers have made significant strides in understanding the genetic factors that shape the Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium's inflorescence, with a particular focus on the cla-miR164-NO APICAL MERISTEM (ClNAM) gene's regulatory functions. This study provides a foundation for advancements in the targeted breeding and genetic enhancement of this species.
Scientists from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University obtained vibrational spectra for 15 samples of amber and resins, that imitate amber, from all over the world. The data presented by authors can be used as a kind of standard in order to distinguish false gems and products from real amber. Results of the research are published in magazine Data in Brief.
Little is yet known about the health effects of nanoparticles on pregnancy. An interdisciplinary team led by Empa researchers is currently analyzing the risks for babies in the womb. Using a lab model, the researchers were able to determine that certain nanoparticles impair the release of chemical messengers in the placenta and thus the formation of blood vessels. They published their findings in the journal Advanced Science.
A study by researchers from the University of Adelaide has found that when using cashless methods of payment, individuals tend to spend more when purchasing.
