Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
On-body detection of unamplified nucleic acid
Wearables have been an emerging wave of technology for continuous monitoring a wide range of biomarkers, but is often overlooked in nucleic acid detection. This study dives into a toolbox for highly sensitive nucleic acid recognition in vivo.
Tough Choices: Defining national net zero goals is critical for food and land use policy
Development of Net-Zero pathways within the Agriculture Forestry and Other Land Use sector is vital for effective policy, but national definitions lack clarity. An Irish study shows how NZ outcomes vary widely, depending on the applied definition.
Large cities—the supernodes during extreme heatwaves
Heatwaves present numerous challenges to urban sustainability. With global climate change, understanding the mechanisms behind heatwaves is becoming increasingly crucial. How do these extreme conditions develop in cities? Does the size of a city matter in heatwave propagation?
