Nearly century-old voices sound again in Indonesia

Nearly a century after they were first recorded, songs, poems and dances from East Flores returned this month to the communities where they were once documented. The restitution project, led by UvA musicologist Barbara Titus, shows that archives only truly gain meaning in dialogue with the people whose heritage they contain.

Normalisation of border controls within Europe are cause for concern

Italy responded to events in Ceuta by imposing border controls on travellers arriving from Spain. Germany has once again extended its controversial border controls. Schengen promises free movement across Europe, yet temporary border checks are becoming increasingly common. According to political scientist Lisa Herbig, these measures do more than create queues and missed train connections for EU citizens; they can also erode trust in political actors and fuel hostility towards migrants.

Breaking up of swan families in winter disrupts spring migration

Young Bewick's swans only survive their first spring migration if they stay with their parents long enough. If they lose their parents in winter, they leave later and are unable to keep up with the rest of the population. As a result, there is a greater chance that they will die in their first year of life. This is shown in new research by biologists from the UvA and NIOO-KNAW, together with American and German colleagues, which was published on 20 August 20 in the journal Behavioral Ecology and

研究揭示“氧化还原—钙信号”耦合调控纤毛协调摆动新机制

纤毛/鞭毛是细胞表面伸出的“天线状”保守细胞器，广泛存在于从单细胞真核生物到哺乳动物的各类细胞中。其中，运动纤毛需像船桨一样同步摆动，才能推动细胞定向游动，并通过产生定向液流，完成呼吸道黏液清除、脑脊液循环等生理过程。一旦这种“同步”被打破，或引发原发性纤毛运动障碍（PCD）、内脏左右位反转、脑积水等纤毛相关疾病，目前仍缺乏成熟的治疗方案。然而，多根纤毛究竟依靠何种信号实现协调摆动，长期以来尚不明晰。

长效神经融合脑机界面研究取得进展

脑机接口是神经医学、康复工程与人工智能交叉领域的前沿技术。电极与脑组织间的神经融合界面直接决定设备使用寿命、信号采集精度与临床安全，是实现长期稳定神经记录、闭环精准神经调控的根基。 当前界面技术仍存短板 ，现阶段柔性基底、导电高分子、单一功能修饰涂层等技术仅能优化某一项缺陷，无法同步实现长效抑菌、抑制生物污损、削弱免疫排斥、稳定电学性能、电极无损回收等五项临床刚需，制约了脑机接口的临床落地应用。

Rules of the School

Scientists have developed a new understanding of how fish interact as they school in groups. Fish were found to copy their neighbors to align their movements within schools. The discovery opens a door to examining how the brains of individuals interact to produce group-level collective behavior.

激光反射层析实现3.3公里距离下无扫描的高分辨非视域成像
