The speed of environmental change is very challenging for wild organisms. When exposed to a new environment individual plants and animals can potentially adjust their biology to better cope with new pressures they are exposed to — this is known as phe…
Researchers have solved a puzzle that could help switchgrass realize its full potential as a low-cost, sustainable biofuel crop and curb our dependence on fossil fuels.

Lost your keys again? You might retrace your steps by scanning your memory using certain event boundaries — when one event ends (say, walking in the door with your keys) and another begins (checking your phone, turning on the TV).
Dr. Scott Budge and his student Chaz Cornwall published a paper in Optical Engineering where they argue the benefits of LiDAR technology in commercial vehicles.
Researchers created a new measure, called the c-value, that helps statisticians and data scientists choose between estimation techniques based on the chance that a new method is more accurate for a specific dataset and application.
Scientists found that most children in the United States use makeup and body products that may contain carcinogens and other toxic chemicals.
