A sustainable food system for a growing global population requires a more diversified and climate-neutral protein production. After five years of research in the recently completed CirkAlg project, led by Chalmers University of Technology, circular […]

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have reported crossing the blood–brain barrier with help from a modified Lactobacillus plantarum. By delivering an appetite-regulating hormone directly to the olfactory epithelium, the hormone was able to […]

As global efforts to combat climate change intensify, microalgae stand out as an underutilized yet promising resource. New research has highlighted microalgae’s capacity as a solution in the fight against climate change, but researchers warn […]

A smoke sensor developed by La Trobe University academics that has the potential to save hundreds of millions of dollars in lost wine production is in the process of being rolled out across the wine […]

The microarchitecture of fossil pterosaur bones could hold the key to lighter, stronger materials for the next generation of aircraft, new research has found.This article was originally published here

Researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that will help predict endangered whale habitat, guiding ships along the Atlantic coast to avoid them. The tool is designed to prevent deadly […]

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 […]
