Phys.org / Genome-scale model tracks how citrus plants respond to stress and disease
A new tool allows researchers to probe the metabolic processes occurring within the leaves, stems, and roots of a key citrus crop, the clementine. The big picture goal of this research is to improve the yields, flavor and ...
Phys.org / Team engineers a microbial platform for efficient lutein production
A research group at KAIST has successfully engineered a microbial strain capable of producing lutein at industrially relevant levels. The team, led by Distinguished Professor Sang Yup Lee from the Department of Chemical and ...
Phys.org / So what do the world's coastlines look like in 2025? Scientists revisit turn-of-the-century forecasts
At the dawn of the millennium, a group of eminent scientists began compiling a list of the threats they felt were most likely to impact the world's rocky shorelines over the coming quarter of a century.
Phys.org / New theory clarifies why tunnel magnetoresistance oscillates with barrier thickness
Researchers have developed a new theory that explains why tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR)—used in magnetic memory and other technologies—oscillates with changes in the thickness of the insulating barrier within a magnetic ...
Phys.org / Researchers certify genuine quantum behavior in computers with up to 73 qubits
Can you prove whether a large quantum system truly behaves according to the weird and wonderful rules of quantum mechanics—or if it just looks like it does? In a new study, physicists from Leiden, Beijing and Hangzhou found ...
Phys.org / Fossilized oysters hold key to mass extinction: Study finds event triggered by ocean pH drop
In the first and only reconstruction of ocean pH ever carried out, new research from the University of St Andrews and the University of Birmingham has discovered that a rapid acidification of oceans, due to a massive and ...
Phys.org / Deep ocean currents shape microbial communities across South Pacific, scientists discover
A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life across the South ...
Medical Xpress / Brain biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease can be detected as early as middle age
A Finnish population study shows that signs related to Alzheimer's disease may already be found in the brain in middle age. In the future, blood-based biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease could allow earlier detection ...
Phys.org / Mangrove as metaphor: Adaptable plant offers inspiration for sustainable food systems model
Humans rely on metaphors to guide a shared understanding of our complex world, and in a novel twist, a faculty member in the University of Rhode Island's Department of Fisheries, Animals and Veterinary Sciences is borrowing ...
Phys.org / Health-impaired world leaders raise nuclear war fears, study suggests
Many former leaders of the world's nine nuclear-armed nations were impaired by health conditions while in office, raising concerns over their decision-making abilities while they had access to nuclear weapon launch codes, ...
Phys.org / New mapping system helps target emergency aid after hurricane flooding in rural areas
In the fall of 2024, Hurricane Helene made landfall in the southeastern U.S., later downgrading to a tropical storm causing strong winds, flooding and major destruction throughout Appalachia. Now, researchers and public health ...
Phys.org / Patterns of patterns: Exploring supermoiré engineering
A few years ago, physicists were surprised to learn that stacking and subtly twisting two atomically thin layers of an electronic material like graphene creates a pattern that changes the material's properties and can even ...
