A new study warns that climate change will significantly reshape wind energy potential across the Middle East. While surface winds may intensify in some regions, wind speeds at turbine height are projected to decline—posing challenges for energy planners across the region. Using high-resolution climate modeling, the research highlights the urgent need to factor future wind dynamics into sustainable energy strategies.
A new study introduces choice engineering—a powerful new way to guide decisions using math instead of guesswork. By applying carefully designed mathematical models, researchers found they could influence people’s choices more effectively than relying on gut instincts or even traditional psychology. This discovery could pave the way for smarter, more ethical tools to improve decision-making in areas like education, health, and everyday life.
Researchers have discovered that a key bacterial protein, CsrA, gathers in a droplet-like structure inside cells to control when and how bacteria activate their disease-causing genes. This newly identified compartment, which forms without a membrane, acts as a kind of temporary control center, helping bacteria adapt to their environment and switch between being harmless and virulent—offering new insight into how infections begin and how they might be stopped.
New study sheds light on how insects, spiders, crustaceans, and other arthropods evolved their distinct body structures. By tracing these patterns back to ancient embryonic processes, the research uncovers a deep evolutionary logic behind the segmented body plans that define the world’s most diverse animal group. The findings challenge long-held assumptions and offer a bold new framework for understanding how developmental mechanisms shaped the evolution of arthropods over hundreds of millions of years.
