Phys.org / Hidden underground, fungi drive carbon storage, crop health and ecosystem stability
Fungi are key constituents of the soil microbial community, playing a major role in moving carbon and energy through the soil food web. A recent analysis carried out by Professor Matthias C. Rillig from Freie Universität ...
Phys.org / A new way to control tiny quantum light sources by twisting atomically thin layers of hexagonal boron nitride
In a paper published in Science Advances, researchers at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in collaboration with the University of Minnesota and Kyung Hee University have found a new way to control quantum light sources, ...
Phys.org / Bullet Cluster observations reopen dark matter debate with MOND-compatible explanation
The Bullet Cluster has so far been considered evidence of the existence of dark matter. An international team of researchers has now analyzed new data and current images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). According ...
Phys.org / Arabidopsis meristem map uncovers 18 cell clusters shaping stems and flowers
Researchers have produced the most detailed map yet of how stem cells in the growing tip of a plant begin their journey to form the many cell types that shape flowers and stems. They identified 18 distinct cell type clusters ...
Phys.org / Heatwave hits more than one in two people in France
More than half of France's population was dealing with scorching temperatures on Friday, according to AFP's calculations, with hundreds of schools adapting their timetables to keep students out of broiling classrooms.
Medical Xpress / World Cup: What's just the right height for a soccer player?
It's a Darwinian jungle out there in sportsland. Players with the right stuff are selected, and those without it end up on the sidelines. If you haven't got what it takes, they won't take what you've got.
Medical Xpress / These tiny genetic fragments may be critical for telling a brain when to rest
The altered presence of tiny fragments of neuronal genes, called microexons, causes hyperarousal in zebrafish. This is the main conclusion of an international study led by Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) and the Center for ...
Phys.org / New technique sharpens predictions of metal alloy behavior by capturing subtle atomic patterns
Companies working at the frontier of aerospace, energy and computing are constantly looking for new materials to improve performance. But in order to understand how those materials will actually behave once they're inside ...
Medical Xpress / Ultrasound-based approach may reduce harmful inflammation and support joint healing
As an aging population experiences joint pain and inflammation at an all-time high, researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, have published new findings suggesting ...
Phys.org / Microbial partners may help maize and sorghum respond to higher temperatures
New research suggests the microbiome near the surface of a plant's roots, known as the rhizosphere microbiome, may play a role in helping crops respond to heat stress.
Medical Xpress / What drives women to have a 'freebirth' without a midwife or doctor? Here's what the research says
A coronial inquest is this week examining the death of Melbourne wellness influencer Stacey Warnecke after a freebirth at her home in September.
Medical Xpress / One gene deletion tears off colon cancer's invisibility cloak, boosting immunotherapy
A study from the University of Calgary shows that removing a single gene makes colon cancer cells a target for immunotherapy—a fundamental breakthrough. The research, published in Cell Reports Medicine, was led by Dr. Arshad ...
