🔬 Ants Can Reprogram Themselves, A New Bird Species Was Hiding In Plain Sight & Scientists Just Shattered Solar Energy's "Impossible" Limit

from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd

Researchers have discovered that ant colony recognition systems are far more flexible than previously believed, upending what we thought we knew about social behavior in insects. A brand-new bird species called the Tokara Leaf Warbler has been confirmed hiding in plain sight for decades, and it's already considered rare and vulnerable. So-called 'Hulk Lizards' are rapidly wiping out other color variants that coexisted for millions of years, offering a stark warning about how quickly evolutionary balance can collapse. Scientists may have found a promising new drug target for Alzheimer's disease after significantly reducing amyloid plaque buildup in brain neurons by removing a specific enzyme. And in what could be the biggest energy news in decades, researchers have shattered the long-standing theoretical efficiency limit for solar panels using a process that could fundamentally change how we capture power from the sun.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
