Physiological Differentiation within a Single-Species Biofilm Fueled by Serpentinization

UNLABELLED Carbonate chimneys at the Lost City hydrothermal field are coated in biofilms dominated by a single phylotype of archaea known as Lost City Methanosarcinales. In this study, we have detected surprising physiological complexity in single-species biofilms, which is typically indicative of multispecies biofilm communities. Multiple cell morphologies were visible within the biofilms by t...

Light-Fueled Microscopic Walkers

The first microscopic artificial walker equipped with liquid-crystalline elastomer muscle is reported. The walker is fabricated by direct laser writing, is smaller than any known living terrestrial creatures, and is capable of several autonomous locomotions on different surfaces.

Alternative Fueled Vehicles (AFV)

Introduction Acquisition of alternative fueled vehicles (AFV) within the United States and the Department of Defense is mandated by Federal Legislation and Executive Order. Under these mandates, the Air Force is required to plan, program, purchase, and utilize alternative fueled vehicles and establish access to refueling facilities. The applicable Acts and Orders accomplish two main goals. Firs...

Simple predictions fueled by capacity limitations: when are they successful?

Counterintuitively, Y. Kareev, I. Lieberman, and M. Lev (1997) found that a lower short-term memory capacity benefits performance on a correlation detection task. They assumed that people with low short-term memory capacity (low spans) perceived the correlations as more extreme because they relied on smaller samples, which are known to exaggerate correlations. The authors consider, as an altern...
