Thailand experienced the biggest relative jump in extremely productive researchers between 2016 and 2022.Credit: Lauren DeCicca/Getty Up to four times more researchers pump out more than 60 papers a year than less than a decade ago1. Saudi Arabia and Thailand saw the sharpest uptick in the number of such scientists over the past few years,…

Abstract Fluorescence imaging with high signal-to-noise ratios has become the foundation of accurate visualization and analysis of biological phenomena. However, the inevitable noise poses a formidable challenge to imaging sensitivity. Here we provide the spatial redundancy denoising transformer (SRDTrans) to remove noise from fluorescence images in a self-supervised manner. First, a sampling strategy based on…

Stars at the very dawn of time must have been capable of creating elements far heavier than anything that has ever been found naturally occurring on Earth, or at all in the wider Universe. That’s the conclusion a team of astronomers led by Ian Roederer of the University of Michigan has drawn after examining 42…

Abstract Ocean sustainability initiatives – in research, policy, management and development – will be more effective in delivering comprehensive benefits when they proactively engage with, invest in and use social knowledge. We synthesize five intervention areas for social engagement and collaboration with marine social scientists, and in doing so we appeal to all ocean science…

When: December 28, 2023 10:00am to 11:30am Science workshop for the whole family! Have you ever wondered why honeybees are black and yellow or why jackrabbits are brown? In the animal world, colors and patterns are important adaptations for survival. In this workshop, you will learn about these adaptations, use your imagination to design an animal…
