Daily Post Nigeria Published He died on 24th January after a brief illness. Watila was serving at the Abeokuta Division of the court until his death. Born on the 12th of May 1963, Watila was appointed to the Federal High Court Bench on December 2, 2015. Tsoho described the deceased as a courageous judge, whose exit will be felt by the court and the country. He prayed that God would grant his immediate family, relatives and friends the fortitude to bear the loss. Wake-keep service will hold on a...

Daily Post Nigeria Published Omokri also described the appointment of the incoming Service Chiefs as ‘Good riddance to bad rubbish’. Recall that the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Femi Adesina, on Tuesday disclosed that Buhari sacked his Service Chiefs with immediate effect. Adesina wrote on Twitter, “PMB appoints new Service Chiefs. Maj Gen LEO Irabor, CDS, Maj Gen I Attahiru, Army, Rear Adm AZ Gambo, Navy, AVM IO Alao, Air Force. “He congratulates outgoing Se...

Daily Post Nigeria Published His Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina said the President appointed Maj Gen LEO Irabor, CDS, Maj Gen I Attahiru, Army, Rear Adm AZ Gambo, Navy, AVM IO Alao, Air Force as new security chiefs. Reacting, Fayose on his Twitter page urged the new Service Chiefs to learn from their immediate predecessors and remember nothing lasts forever. He also called on the International Criminal Court, ICC to investigate the sacked Service Chief for human rights abus...

, observed that low-energy neutrinos interact with an argon nucleus through the weak nuclear force in a process called coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, or CEvNS, which is pronounced “sevens.” Like a ping-pong ball bombarding a softball, a neutrino that hits a nucleus transfers only a small amount of energy to the much larger nucleus, which recoils almost imperceptibly in response to the tiny assault. Laying the groundwork for the discovery made with the argon nucleus was a 2017...

Written by AZoNanoJan 11 2021 The COVID-19 pandemic has been increasing the fears of new pathogens like drug-resistant bacteria or new viruses. A Korean research group has recently gained attention for designing a new technology to eliminate antibiotic-resistant bacteria by regulating the surface texture of nanomaterials.

Science for just $15 USD. Altering cell fate through autophagy Mutations that constitutively activate the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor ACVR1 lead to fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), a disease in which patients develop heterotopic bones through endochondral ossification in connective tissues. Yang et al. found that constitutively active ACVR1 caused cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) in mice to adopt a chondrogenic fate, resulting in ectopic craniofacial cartilage. The ...

Credit: Daria Sokol/MIPT Press Office Russian researchers have proposed a new method for synthesizing high-quality graphene nanoribbons -- a material with potential for applications in flexible electronics, solar cells, LEDs, lasers, and more. Presented in The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, the original approach to chemical vapor deposition, offers a higher yield at a lower cost, compared with the currently used nanoribbon self-assembly on noble metal substrates. Silicon-based electronics ar...

Credit: POSTECH The COVID-19 pandemic is raising fears of new pathogens such as new viruses or drug-resistant bacteria. To this, a Korean research team has recently drawn attention for developing the technology for removing antibiotic-resistant bacteria by controlling the surface texture of nanomaterials. A joint research team from POSTECH and UNIST has introduced mixed-FeCo-oxide-based surface-textured nanostructures (MTex) as highly efficient magneto-catalytic platform in the international jo...
