Researchers around the world are working on new technologies to capture carbon from the atmosphere, but many approaches fall short on one key metric: their ability to scale. Nature, however, has already developed its own […]

A study has identified a wheat nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) gene pair, RXL and Pm5e, that confers resistance to the devastating wheat powdery mildew disease.This article was originally published here

Schools of fish are mesmerizing examples of collective animal behavior. Thousands of individuals move in near-perfect synchrony, despite each fish having only a limited view of their surroundings. How do they achieve such effortless coordination […]

A team of scientists from the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences–Biotechnology at Forschungszentrum Jülich worked together with the company Novonesis to develop a bacterium that “eats” individual building blocks of different types of nylon and […]

Researchers from the University of Bayreuth and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization in Göttingen have investigated the movement patterns of unicellular, hydrogen-producing green algae under different light intensities. Their findings will contribute […]

An innovative resource designed to streamline and improve decision-making in agricultural and natural resources production and management is now available to a wide range of users—including policymakers, land and water managers, farmers, researchers and extension […]

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the structure of a […]

Scientists have developed a novel tool designed to protect and conserve coral reefs by providing them with an abundance of feeding opportunities.This article was originally published here

Fish welfare is, of course, a critical topic in salmon farming. It is therefore important to see the fish as individuals, rather than just a group. Researchers have used camera technology combined with artificial intelligence […]

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon—using a cellular platform that they developed enabling the production of new classes […]
