Renewable Fuel for a Generation of Green Batteries

Renewable Fuel for a Generation of Green Batteries

Revolutionizing energy production has been integral to combatting climate change and reducing our dependence on limited natural resources, but complementary advances in energy storage have been lacking. Dr Thomas Guarr and Dr David Hickey from Michigan State University lead their team in investigating a counterintuitive molecular mechanism which could support a wave of green, renewable, and cheap batteries. If practical, this technology might be the crucial leap towards an entirely green energy system.

Dr David Nairn | Time-Interleaved Analogue-to-Digital Converters: Breaking Speed Barriers in Digital Signal Processing

In our increasingly digital world, the ability to convert analogue signals into digital data quickly and accurately is crucial for everything from mobile phones to medical devices. Dr David Nairn from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, has been at the forefront of developing and improving time-interleaved analogue-to-digital converter technology to enable faster and more efficient digital signal processing. His work is helping to overcome key challenges in high-speed digital systems, paving the way for more advanced electronic devices.

Understanding the Magna Moralia: Associate Professor George Karamanolis and Dr Solmeng Hirschi

Understanding the Magna Moralia: Associate Professor George Karamanolis and Dr Solmeng Hirschi

The Magna Moralia is one of the three ethical works attributed to Aristotle in antiquity, next to the Eudemian Ethics and the Nicomachean Ethics. However, the Magna Moralia has not been studied as extensively as the other two treatises, with research focusing largely on the question of authorship and much less on the ethical theory. The team at the University of Vienna aims to establish a new critical edition of the Magna Moralia, to offer a fresh English translation, and to prepare a philosophical commentary. The project will enable a future re-appreciation of the Magna Moralia while contributing to a better understanding of the development of Aristotelian ethics.

Illuminating Neanderthal Resilience and Adaptability through Cutting-Edge Zooarchaeology

Neanderthals, our closest extinct human relatives, have often been portrayed as brutish and primitive compared to modern humans. But new research is shedding light on their true capabilities. Eboni Westbury from the Australian National University is part of a team investigating how Neanderthals adapted and thrived in challenging Ice Age environments. Their work at the Abric Pizarro rock shelter in Spain reveals new insights into the complex behaviours and survival skills of these ancient people.

The BASIL CURE Initiative: Transforming How Students Learn Biochemistry Through Real Research

The BASIL CURE Initiative: Transforming How Students Learn Biochemistry Through Real Research

Teaching students how to think like scientists is a critical but challenging goal in biochemistry education. The Biochemistry Authentic Scientific Inquiry Lab (BASIL) initiative was conceived by Dr Paul Craig from the Rochester Institute of Technology and is led by colleagues across multiple institutions. They have developed an innovative curriculum that transforms traditional cookbook-style laboratory courses into authentic research experiences, also known as a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE). By investigating real proteins with unknown functions, students learn essential scientific skills while expanding our knowledge of protein biochemistry.

Dr Benjamin Bradley | Cause, Consequence, and Natural Selection: A New Vision of Darwin’s Psychological Work

The theory of evolution by natural selection stands at the heart of modern biology. But what exactly is the causal status of natural selection in evolution? Dr Benjamin Bradley from Charles Sturt University in Australia is challenging long-held assumptions, arguing that Darwin himself saw natural selection as a consequence of other processes, not a cause of evolution in its own right. This crucial distinction opens up new perspectives on how evolution relates to psychology and behaviour.
