The fate of Pacific cod populations off the Korean coast hinges on a narrow 'Goldilocks' temperature zone for their eggs and larvae. New research shows how local ocean conditions can either create a perfect nursery or an inhospitable environment, directly explaining decades of fluctuating fish catches.

Scientists have developed a machine learning system that accurately predicts a pathogen's resistance to antibiotics by analysing its genetic sequence. This new multi-model approach shows that artificial intelligence can provide a powerful and rapid tool in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance.

New computational modelling reveals that adding specific transition metals to phosphorene monolayers can induce magnetism in this typically non-magnetic material. The research identifies iron and vanadium doping as particularly promising for creating unique magnetic states suitable for future electronics.

Scientists have discovered that macroalgae on Caribbean coral reefs act as natural pollution monitors. A specific chemical signature in their tissues, known as δ¹⁵N, reliably indicates the presence of other land-derived pollutants, with levels rising after rainfall and in heavily developed coastal areas.
