Resume: A new AI-powered study examines evolutionary differences between male and female birdwing butterflies, shedding new light on a historic debate between Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. Using machine learning to analyze more than 16,000 butterfly specimens, researchers found that both sexes contribute to species diversity. Males tend to show more variation, supporting Darwin’s … Read more

This diagram shows how a catalyst consisting of a few layers of iridium oxide (IrOX) over a titanium nitride (TiN) carrier can efficiently store oxygen (O2), hydrogen ions (H+), and electrons (e.g–) from water molecules (H2O) in an acidic electrolyte. … Read more
This diagram shows how a catalyst consisting of a few layers of iridium oxide (IrOX) over a titanium nitride (TiN) carrier can efficiently store oxygen (O2), hydrogen ions (H+), and electrons (e.g–) from water molecules (H2O) in an acidic electrolyte. This ‘oxygen evolution reaction’ is the more challenging of the two reactions required to split … Read more
