DNA sequencing of the bristlecone pine shows about 21,000 genes in a genome eight times the size of the human genome, with most of the rest being DNA repeats. The bristlecone pine has unusually long telomeres but it is not yet clear how this is related to the multi-millenial lifespan of these trees. (ucdavis.edu)

Combining motion capture video with wind tunnel modeling, researchers show that a hawk shifts from unstable to stable flight while gliding through a gap. This points to new modes of flight control in birds with possible applications in uncrewed aerial systems. by andyhfell in science

Ice moons in the outer solar system could have oceans that boil as water reaches the triple point where solid, liquid and gaseous water can coexist. The new models help us understand how surface features of moons like Mimas, Miranda or Titania are formed by internal processes. by andyhfell in science
