But not in the way Fukushima's geneticists thought. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. In the regions surrounding the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in northeast Japan, radioactive domestic pigs and wild boar are rapidly interbreeding. While far from the only recent incident of animal hybridization, the situation is presenting wildlife biologists with an unprecedented opportunity to examine the issue in real-time, as well as provide a template for studying the growing problem worldwide. In 2011, a 9.0 magnitude undersea earthquake in the Pacific Ocean rocked Japan.

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) represent a promising approach to developing artificial neural networks that are both energy-efficient and biologically plausible.

A plant's phenome is defined by its physical and biochemical characteristics, and is the result of the interaction of its genome and its environment.
