Last Word On Nothing - 23 hours 54 min agoRecently, while working through Suleika Jaouad's The Book of Alchemy with my mom, I encountered a new-to-me poetic form: the sestina. Jaouad's book is a collection of creative enticements from writers and artists, musicians and teachers, and we'd come across Ann Patchett's prompt, "The Mouse Sestina," in the midst of a particularly hectic time. It was still winter, […] The post A Sestina for Songbirds appeared first on The Last Word On Nothing .
Nature - 1 day 7 hours agoRecent breakthroughs in pig-to-human xenotransplantation have successfully prevented hyperacute rejection of kidney, heart, liver and lung xenografts, marking a milestone long considered a critical barrier. However, these major advances also brought new challenges into focus, as immune-mediated graft injuries including antibody-mediated rejection, T cell-mediated rejection and innate immune activation have been observed in most xenotransplantation procedures to date. Detection and management of...
Nature - 1 day 7 hours agoSalt marshes protect coastlines by attenuating wind waves with their elevated marsh platform and above-ground vegetation1. Confidence in the persistence of this service under a changing climate requires knowledge on how extreme storms damage the platform and vegetation; however, a comprehensive, quantified understanding of salt marsh–wave interactions under extreme events is lacking. A unique experiment was conducted by transferring intact salt marsh to one of the world’s largest wave...
Nature - 1 day 7 hours agoCarbonylation is an important process used to produce aldehydes, carboxylic acids and esters1–5 that is usually catalysed by homogeneous metal complexes with ligands and iodide promoters6–12. Koch has reported that protons of mineral acids can also catalyse carbonylation13. Previous studies have demonstrated that Brønsted acidic zeolites can act as a heterogeneous, Koch-type catalyst for carbonylation of alcohols and olefins, but the products in this case are limited to tertiary...

Two patients in Melbourne, Australia recently became the first recipients of a novel type of implant for controlling prosthetic arms. The 2-by-10-centimenter device, produced by Phantom Neuro , wraps around the forearm underneath the skin, where it measures electrical signals in muscles, a process called electromyography (EMG). That signal is then processed and translated into robotic commands for third-party prostheses. Options to control powered prosthetic devices that are currently available...
