A recent study discovered that applying 5-Azacytidine, a DNA methylation inhibitor, significantly reduces tomato susceptibility to gray mold, a common postharvest fungal disease. This epigenetic strategy enhances the fruit's natural defense system, offering a sustainable and innovative method to boost crop resistance without genetic modification.
Cosmic radiation is an obstacle to space travel...stop it with BNNT fibers!A research team led by Dr. Dae-Yoon Kim from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a new composite fiber that can effectively block neutrons in space radiation.
"When something is said to be impossible, there are two points for researchers to initially clarify: whether it really is forbidden by the laws of nature; or whether it is simply that no material that currently exists in nature can do that." Metamaterials are such magical beings, which have physical properties like invisibility, negative refraction, super-resolution, and perfect absorption that are absent from natural materials. It has been rated by Science as one of the top ten scientific and technological breakthroughs affecting human beings in the 21st century.
KIMM develops seawater-based self-charging energy harvester. Newly developed energy harvester, which is capable of generating 4.2 times more electrical power compared with existing devices, is expected to be used for small-sized equipment such as devices for monitoring ocean environments
University of Washington researchers have developed a flexible, durable electronic prototype that can harvest energy from body heat and turn it into electricity that can be used to power small electronics, such as batteries, sensors or LEDs. This device is also resilient — it still functions even after being pierced several times and then stretched 2,000 times.
The industry leader in automated environmental monitoring and synchronized time solutions looks to continue success and community involvement for years to come
A two-year interdisciplinary study at UF examines synthetic oxytocin’s potential as an alternate pain management option for older adults.
Land was once set aside as Native American reservations because it was undesirable and low in resources, but now interested Native Americans may have economic leverage in the growing industry of clean energy. A team of researchers led by UW–Madison professors Dominic Parker and Sarah Johnston quantified the economic potential of wind and solar energy projects on these lands and discussed the regulatory barriers for tribes wishing to tap into it.
Cal Poly Humboldt Forestry Professor Jeff Kane is leading a project funded by the USDA Forest Service in collaboration with Ecologist, Kyle Merriam, to reestablish Baker Cypress in areas where it was nearly extirpated by the 2021 Dixie Fire, with significant involvement from students.
UNC School of Medicine researchers are the first to show that an microRNA molecule called miR-29 is instrumental in driving the natural aging process.
After nearly a decade of preparation, scientists – including researchers from Rutgers University – have turned on a new apparatus capable of detecting a host of mysterious tiny particles. Researchers working on the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Ill., have started up the new machine and begun detecting the neutrinos produced by Fermilab’s particle accelerator beams.
The research aims to assess changes in surface fuels, tree mortality, regeneration, and the general health of secondary redwood forests.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Western Michigan University researchers demonstrated pavement markers that use embedded microchips to transmit road shape information to self-driving cars.
The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) has issued updated guidelines, published in Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, about how to evaluate and manage chronic constipation. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
طوّر فريق من باحثي مايو كلينك أداة حسابية مبتكرة تعمل على تحليل الحَيُّوم الدقيق المعوي، وهو نظام حيوي معقد يتكون من تريليونات البكتيريا والفطريات والفيروسات والكائنات الحية الدقيقة الأخرى داخل الجهاز الهضمي، لتوفير نظرة ثاقبة حول الصحة العامة.
Demand for cancer genetic testing is on the rise, but there's not enough genetic counselors to guide patients through the process. Researchers say chatbots could be the answer.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) plays a crucial role in how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sets vaccination schedules for children and adults. This work was particularly critical during the COVID-19 pandemic with the remarkable advancement of vaccines amid growing public distrust of those vaccine recommendations. To highlight the ACIP’s work during this challenging time, committee members are sharing their insights and experiences with a focus on pediatrics.
Scientists from Jefferson Lab, Old Dominion University and the University of Virginia recently conducted a study that compares deep learning models of street-scale flooding in the City of Norfolk with previous machine learning and physics-based simulations.
Predators not native to Madagascar, such as feral dogs and cats, may pose a serious threat to lemur species—many of which are already facing extinction on this African island.
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology found that older adults learned a memory task best after practicing multiple related tasks, suggesting that diverse cognitive training supports mental sharpness as we age.
