Phys.org / Less water, same taste: New approach helps growers produce sweet corn more efficiently
University of Missouri researchers are exploring ways to grow sweet corn more efficiently to help American farmers cut costs. In a recent study, scientists from Mizzou's College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources ...
Phys.org / Evolution has reused the same genes for 120 million years, study shows
Scientists have shown that evolution has been using the same genetic "cheat sheet" for over 120 million years, suggesting that life on Earth may be more predictable than first imagined. The international team, led by scientists ...
Medical Xpress / Ultrafast MRI uncovers brain signal direction: New scan may help decode autism, Alzheimer's and hallucinations
Researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon have for the first time managed to identify with an imaging technique whether nervous impulses in the brain of rats are flowing in a "bottom-up" (feedforward), carrying ...
