Like animals, many plant species are struggling to adapt to a human-dominated planet. However, plants are often overlooked in conservation efforts, even though they are cheaper and easier to protect than animals and play a pivotal role in bolstering ou…
A team has modeled improving photosynthesis through enzyme modification and simulated soybean growth with realistic climate conditions, determining to what extent the improvements in photosynthesis could result in increased yields.
Using a “spooky” phenomenon of quantum physics, researchers have discovered a way to double the resolution of light microscopes.
A new study that analyzed 17 years of migratory bird-nesting data in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, revealed that nest survival decreased significantly near high-use oil and gas infrastructure and its related noise, dust, traffic, air pollution, and other distur…
Applying machine learning models, a type of artificial intelligence (AI), to data collected passively from wearable devices can identify a patient’s degree of resilience and well-being, according to investigators. The findings support wearable devices …
A new study analyzing data on over 20,000 U.S. adults links a healthier diet and increased exercise to weight loss that reduces heart disease risk — while associating skipping meals and taking prescription diet pills with minimal weight loss, weight m…
Marine biologists found the feces of fish that were long thought to promote healthy reefs can damage and, in some cases, kill corals in controlled experiments, possibly due to high levels of coral pathogens. Conversely, the feces of coral predators wer…
Dynamic network in the pores of the nuclear envelope blocks dangerous invaders.
By connecting small self-propelling toys in a chain, researchers have found the key to studying the movement of microscopic organisms and molecular motors inside our cells.
Scientists studied guinea pigs’ communication to understand how the brain recognizes communication sounds regardless of accents and surrounding noise.
While adding a little water is popularly thought to ‘open up’ the flavor of whisky, a new study indicates there’s a point at which it becomes too much: about 20%. Researchers chemically analyzed how volatile compounds in a set of 25 whiskies responded …
Attending a high school with a high number of teachers with graduate training was the clearest predictor of the impact of school quality on late-life cognition, researchers found.
