A new study introduces a machine learning tool that combines satellite imagery and weather data to monitor chickpea crop health. The system accurately estimates Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Leaf Water Potential (LWP) across commercial […]

A palm-sized device developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo could help save lives and reduce illness by rapidly and inexpensively detecting toxic bacteria in water supplies.This post was originally published on this site

A new study, led by researchers at the University of Missouri, has uncovered how poplar trees can naturally adjust a key part of their wood chemistry based on changes in their environment. This discovery—the result […]

On the hills above Cornol in the canton of Jura in Switzerland, scientists are testing unusual new defenses in the fight against the invasive Asian hornet (Vespa velutina): electric harps and hive “muzzles.”This post was […]

Within the past few years, models that can predict the structure or function of proteins have been widely used for a variety of biological applications, such as identifying drug targets and designing new therapeutic antibodies.This […]

The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not without risk. When this type of “genetic surgery” is performed on DNA, for instance, there is […]

Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is the most preferable system for live-cell super-resolution imaging. It enables the observation of intricate subcellular dynamics. However, conventional SIM has long relied on the complex rotation of one-dimensional stripe illumination […]

A new study from North Carolina State University looked at reducing between-farm infections by modeling a new way of routing the trucks that transport feed and livestock between pig farms and from farms to market. […]

Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka researchers have hit the right note to cut down the time it takes to brew beer without altering its flavor. They have found playing audible sound (white noise) while making beer can […]

As aging progresses, the quality of DNA and proteins inside cells declines, which is known to be the cause of various degenerative diseases. However, the connection between aging and RNA has remained largely unexplored.This post […]
