Scientists work on a new method to measure #radioactivity for dismantling nuclear power plants. The method is already used in satellites. #Astrophysicists from Würzburg develop the analyses software. ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/aktuelles/ei... 📸 Christian Schwier / AdobeStock

Amazing #ants: When Lasius neglectus pupae are infected by pathogens, they change body odour to warn the colony of the risk of #infection - and thus seal their death @natcomms.nature.com / @istaresearch.bsky.social / Thomas Schmitt JMU 📷Christopher D. Pull / ISTA
