Microsoft founder Bill Gates admitted the Omicron variant has created a high level of natural immunity in the world. He recently made these comments at a security conference.

Russia seeks to regulate cryptocurrencies

Times of Malta 

The Russian finance ministry said on Monday it had submitted draft legislation regulating cryptocurrencies, including client identification and a cap on investments. Russia is one of the world’s top crypto-mining nations and authorities have for years criticised cryptocurrencies over fears they can be used for illegal activities and called for regulation. In January, the central bank proposed an outright ban on cryptocurrencies but the finance ministry has been pushing to regulate the sector to help attract investment. Читать дальше...

How to mix the 'un-mixable'

Sciencedaily.com 

Imagine making some liquids mix that do not mix, then unmixing them. In one of the grand challenges of science, a device which previously 'unboiled' egg protein is now unraveling the mystery of incompatible fluids -- a development that could enhance many future products, industrial processes and even the food we eat.

New simple method for surveying amphibians: A vital contribution to conservation efforts

Sciencedaily.com 

Amphibian biodiversity is declining worldwide and collecting information about their habitats and populations via monitoring is vital for conservation efforts. However, it is difficult to accurately monitor amphibians using conventional methods. To address these issues, scientists have developed a novel technique to identify the amphibious species that live in an area through environmental DNA analysis. It is hoped that the new method will revolutionize species monitoring, as it will enable anyone... Читать дальше...

The formation of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet was very different than previously believed

Sciencedaily.com 

Roughly 35 million years ago, Earth cooled rapidly. At roughly the same time, the Drake Passage formed between South America and the Antarctic, paving the way for the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Thanks to these two factors, Antarctica was soon completely covered in ice. This massive glaciation was delayed in at least one region.

Blueprint for proteins: How mRNA gets its final shape

Sciencedaily.com 

Proteins need to interact in a complex manner for a so-called 'messenger RNA' (mRNA) to be created in human cells from a precursor molecule. mRNA provides a blueprint for proteins; the first vaccines against the coronavirus are also based on mRNAs. Scientists have now discovered how an essential final step in the production of mRNA precisely works.

Metal mix and match: An unexpected discovery could improve the crystallinity of coordination nanosheets

Sciencedaily.com 

Coordination nanosheets are emerging 2D materials with a wide range of applications. However, highly crystalline nanosheets are difficult to synthesize through solution-based approaches. In a recent study, scientists found a simple strategy to improve the structural order and performance of nanosheet films by using two different metal ions instead of one. Their findings highlight a solution for the development of high-quality coordination nanosheets with superior crystallinity and conductivity.
