Darwin wasps: a new name heralds renewed efforts to unravel the evolutionary history of Ichneumonidae

Entomological Communications, 2019
The parasitoid wasp family Ichneumonidae is arguably one of the groups for which current knowledge lags most strongly behind their enormous diversity.

A religious past to science: How Biblical stories have contributed to the construction of scientific knowledge

Mètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review
Stories captivate us by speaking to our imagination and by giving order and meaning to our world. Stories not only give us knowledge about society, but they can also shape our understanding of nature.

Bright Monocompound Metal Halide Scintillator for Fast Neutron Radiography

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metal halide scintillator, tetraphenylphosphonium manganese bromide (TPP2MnBr4), provides a significant benefit for fast neutron imaging. A fourfold increase in efficiency over traditional zinc sulfide screens is achieved by efficiently utilizing neutron interactions within its homogeneous structure.

Unlocking the Full Potential of MgAgSb by Unravelling the Interrelation of Phase Constitution and Thermoelectric Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Persistent secondary phases govern the performance of many thermoelectric materials, particularly of high performance MgAgSb. In this study advanced microstructural characterization for unequivocal phase identification combined with transport modeling and statistical analysis enabled the quantification of each phase's impact, revealing the most ...

Role of forensic odontologist in post mortem person identification

Dental Research Journal, 2012
The natural teeth are the most durable organs in the bodies of vertebrates, and humankind′s understanding of their own past and evolution relies heavily upon remnant dental evidence found as fossils.

Engineering Oxygen Vacancy in Support to Promote Activity of In2O3 Catalyst for CO2 Electroreduction to Formate

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel approach by depositing In2O3 onto an oxygen vacancy (OV)‐enriched support, ceria‐zirconia solid solutions (CZ), to activate synergistic effects is proposed. The OV contributes greatly to the dissociation of H2O and further promotes the hydrogenation of adsorbed CO2 species.

Mechanistic phylodynamic models do not provide conclusive evidence that non-avian dinosaurs were in decline before their final extinction

Cambridge Prisms: Extinction
Phylodynamic models can be used to estimate diversification trajectories from time-calibrated phylogenies. Here we apply two such models to phylogenies of non-avian dinosaurs, a clade whose evolutionary history has been widely debated.

Étude de collections de paléontologie

CeROArt : Conservation, Exposition, Restauration d'Objets d'Art, 2013
Paleontology Collections include many fossils containing sulphides, such as pyrite which is a widespread iron sulphide. When exposed to the open air, these sulphides are prone to oxidation and give rise to remarkable efflorescence that hide the fossil ...

Integration of molecules and new fossils supports a Triassic origin for Lepidosauria (lizards, snakes, and tuatara)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013
BackgroundLepidosauria (lizards, snakes, tuatara) is a globally distributed and ecologically important group of over 9,000 reptile species. The earliest fossil records are currently restricted to the Late Triassic and often dated to 227 million years ago
