 American Journal of Human GeneticsPenn: New variants at gene linked to kidney disease, sleeping sickness resistance A new study led by University of Pennsylvania researchers involves a classic case of evolution's fickle nature: a genetic mutation that protects against a potentially fatal infectious disease also appears to increase the risk of developing a chronic, debilitating condition.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesBerkeley Lab researchers discover universal law for light absorption in 2D semiconductors Berkeley Lab researchers have demonstrated a universal law of light absorption for 2D semiconductors. This discovery not only provides new insight into the optical properties of 2D semiconductors and quantum wells, it should also open doors to exotic new optoelectronic and photonic technologies.

Journal of the American Chemical SocietyOregon lab changes game for synthesizing new materials University of Oregon chemist David C. Johnson likens his lab's newly published accomplishments to combining two flavors of ice cream and churning out thousands of flavors to appeal to any taste bud. In reality, he is referring to his method of synthesizing thousands of new compounds with ultra low thermal conductivity.

Nature CommunicationsUsing gold and light to study molecules in water Thanks to a new device that is the size of a human hair, it is now possible to detect molecules in a liquid solution and observe their interactions. This is of major interest for the scientific community, as there is currently no reliable way of examining both the behavior and the chemical structure of molecules in a liquid in real time.Developed at Boston University, the process brings together infrared detection techniques and gold nanoparticles. The results have been published in Nature Communications. Contact: Pessina Laure-Anne

AIP AdvancesKey factors for wireless power transfer What happens to a resonant wireless power transfer system in the presence of complex electromagnetic environments, such as metal plates? A team of researchers explored the influences at play in this type of situation, and they describe in the American Institute of Physics' journal AIP Advances how efficient wireless power transfer can indeed be achieved in the presence of metal plates.

European Physics Society HEP ConferenceFirst experimental signs of a New Physics beyond the Standard Model A team of physicists from the Universitat Autňnoma de Barcelona and the French CNRS have predicted deviations in the probability of one of the B meson decays that have been detected experimentally in the LHC accelerator at CERN. Confirmation of these results would be the first direct evidence of the existence of the 'new physics', a more fundamental theory than the current Standard Model. Contact: Joaquim Matias

PLOS ONERobots strike fear in the hearts of fish The latest in a series of experiments testing the ability of robots to influence live animals shows that bio-inspired robots can not only elicit fear in zebrafish, but that this reaction can be modulated by alcohol. These findings may pave the way for new methodologies for understanding anxiety and other emotions, as well as substances that modulate them.

New poll shows minority populations support clinical trials to improve health of others Altruism is a strong motivating factor for clinical trial participation in the general population and even more so among several minority groups. A significant percentage of African-Americans (61 percent), Hispanics (57 percent) and Asians (50 percent) say it's very important to participate as a volunteer in a clinical trial to improve the health of others, compared to 47 percent of non-Hispanic whites, according to a new national public opinion poll commissioned by Research!America.

Environmental Science & TechnologySediment trapped behind dams makes them 'hot spots' for greenhouse gas emissions With the "green" reputation of large hydroelectric dams already in question, scientists are reporting that millions of smaller dams on rivers around the world make an important contribution to the greenhouse gases linked to global climate change. Their study, showing that more methane than previously believed bubbles out of the water behind small dams, appears in ACS' journal Environmental Science & Technology. Contact: Michael Bernstein

UT Austin researchers successfully spoof an $80 million yacht at sea A radio navigation research team from The University of Texas at Austin successfully discovered they could subtly coerce a 65-meter superyacht off its course, using a custom-made GPS device. The purpose of the experiment was to measure the difficulty of carrying out a spoofing attack at sea and to determine how easily sensors in the ship's command room could identify the threat.
