Science for society: a 60-year legacy of research that makes a difference
Publicado em 21 dezembro 2023Driving to a pump and filling the tank with hydrogen could soon be a reality for many. In mid-2024, oil and gas company Shell and FAPESP, the São Paulo Research Foundation, plan to open a pilot plant that converts ethanol into hydrogen. The facility will produce 4.5kg of hydrogen hourly to fuel three buses running on the University of São Paulo campus. If all goes well, this cost-effective, environmentally friendly technology will be available to consumers, who could pull in [...]ver notícia -

Mito-nuclear selection induces a trade-off between species ecological dominance and evolutionary lifespan
Publicado em 11 outubro 2022Abstract Mitochondrial and nuclear genomes must be co-adapted to ensure proper cellular respiration and energy production. Mito-nuclear incompatibility reduces individual fitness and induces hybrid infertility, which can drive reproductive barriers and speciation. Here, we develop a birth–death model for evolution in spatially extended populations under selection for mito-nuclear co-adaptation. Mating is constrained by physical and genetic proximity, and offspring inherit nuclear [...]ver notícia -
