NEWS RELEASES
Climate catastrophe produced instantaneous evolutionary change
With species the world over on the move due to climate change, a unique experiment in the wake of 2017's Hurricane Harvey has revealed a way that species can instantly evolve when they move in response to a climate catastrophe. "With the profound and rapid changes we’re seeing with the environment, movement is becoming critical for species' survival," said Rice evolutionary biologist Scott Egan, senior author of a study published this week in Nature Ecology and Evolution.

Rice-engineered material can reconnect severed nerves
Researchers have long recognized the therapeutic potential of using magnetoelectrics ⎯ materials that can turn magnetic fields into electric fields ⎯ to stimulate neural tissue in a minimally invasive way and help treat neurological disorders or nerve damage. The problem, however, is that neurons have a hard time responding to the shape and frequency of the electric signal resulting from this conversion. Rice neuroengineer Jacob Robinson and his team designed the first magnetoelectric material that not only solves this issue but performs the magnetic-to-electric conversion 120 times faster than similar materials.
