New research uncovers the molecular regulation of cuticular wax biosynthesis in blueberries, highlighting how these natural coatings affect crucial fruit quality traits like water loss and surface color during ripening and storage, providing valuable insights for improving blueberry quality.
Which factors determine how quickly a battery can be charged? This and other questions are studied by researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) with the help of computer-based simulations. Microstructural models help to discover and investigate new electrode materials. When sodium-nickel-manganese oxide is used as cathode material in sodium-ion batteries, simulations reveal modifications of the crystal structure during charging. These modifications lead to an elastic deformation, as a result of which capacity decreases. Researchers report in npj Computational Materials (DOI: 10.1038/s41524-024-01258-x)
Australian scientists are exploring how harmful gut bacteria from a poor diet can access the brain and trigger early onset Alzheimer's disease.
El Centro de Innovación Científica Amazónica (CINCIA) anuncia la publicación del artículo científico "Global Mercury Concentrations in Biota: Their Use as a Basis for a Global Biomonitoring Framework” en la revista científica Ecotoxicology.
A team of geologists led by the University of Utah analyzed 3,500 samples taken in and around coal mines in Utah and Colorado. Their findings open the possibility that these mines could see a secondary resource stream in the form of rare earth metals used in renewable energy and numerous other high-tech applications.
Digitizing decades worth of pre-computer files held in storage at the Narragansett Bay campus let oceanographers at the University of Rhode Island get a better picture of Narragansett Bay over time. URI operates the longest-running time series in Rhode Island, which now reveals that the level of phytoplankton in the bay has dropped by half in the last half century.
A team of glaciologists led by researchers at the University of California, Irvine used high-resolution satellite radar data to find evidence of the intrusion of warm, high-pressure seawater many kilometers beneath the grounded ice of West Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier.
