New genomic & genetic insights into Mendel’s pea genes, including previously uncharacterised alleles
159 years after Mendel published his work, this is a real delight (especially for a geneticist)

"Adoption of heat pumps alters the composition of energy demand: demand for gas drops by 90 percent and demand for electricity rises by 61 percent per year. Overall demand for energy declines by 40 percent. The net effect of these changes is a nearly 70 percent decline in households’ CO2 emissions"
With very granular data, a nicely done study. The chart already gives it away, though.
