- Abstract
The article presents researches related to science in various fields. The researchers at the University of Bonn in Germany confirmed that the elephant nose fish has two different high-acuity sensory regions called foveae, in its actual nasal region and in its characteristic chin known as Schnauzenorgan. A research team in France suggested that city weeds are adapting to their urban environment at a staggering rate. The study reveals that the genetic evaluation indicating that short-term evolution has taken place during 5-12 generations. Chemists at Indiana University in Bloomington designed an uncharged organic molecule that can attract and hold negatively charged ions. This molecule could provide a new regime for removing unwanted anions from solution.
