Phys.org / How protein network cooperatively regulates iron balance in plants
Iron (Fe) is a vital micronutrient for plants, which is required for processes such as photosynthesis and enzyme activity. Plants must carefully manage iron levels to maintain health and productivity. They activate iron uptake ...
Medical Xpress / Kratom: What parents need to know about this risky substance
Kratom products can be seen at gas stations, vape shops or online. Marketed as "natural" and often sold in forms such as powders, capsules and gummies, kratom is gaining popularity in the U.S. among teens. But while it comes ...
Phys.org / Cleaner air is (inadvertently) harming the Great Barrier Reef
Air pollution is now recognized as one of the greatest threats to human health, contributing to an estimated 4.2 million premature deaths in 2019, according to the World Health Organization.
Phys.org / AI agents streamline discovery of safer, more efficient solid electrolytes for batteries
Solid-state batteries are widely viewed as a key technology for the future of energy storage, particularly for electric vehicles and large-scale renewable energy systems. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries, which rely ...
Medical Xpress / Influence of environmental exposures in heart failure previously underestimated, say researchers
Whether heart failure develops and how it progresses depends not only on physical factors, but also on external influences and the duration of exposure, according to scientists at University Medical Center Mainz in collaboration ...
Phys.org / Bionic LiDAR system achieves beyond-retinal resolution through adaptive focusing
In a recent study, researchers from China have developed a chip-scale LiDAR system that mimics the human eye's foveation by dynamically concentrating high-resolution sensing on regions of interest (ROIs) while maintaining ...
Phys.org / A year after undermining Bredt's rule, scientists make cage-shaped, double-bonded molecules that defy expectations
Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking chemical bonds. The rules governing how these bonds, which hold atoms together in molecules, form and ...
Phys.org / Remote sensing model enables early detection of vole outbreaks in Spanish farmlands
Researchers at the Regional Service for Agri-Food Research and Development (SERIDA) have developed a new large-scale remote sensing model that will enable comprehensive, high-resolution monitoring of fossorial water vole ...
Phys.org / Extreme cold grips millions as US digs out of deadly snowstorm
Perilously cold temperatures threatened millions of Americans Monday in the wake of a sprawling winter storm that left at least 23 people dead as it knocked out power and paralyzed transportation.
Medical Xpress / Exploring the neural mechanisms that enable conscious experience
Recently, there has been convergence of thought by researchers in the fields of memory, perception, and neurology that the same neural circuitry that produces conscious memory of the past not only produces predictions of ...
Medical Xpress / Deep learning model can predict cardiopulmonary disease in retinal images of premature infants
A deep learning model using retinal images obtained during retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening may be used to predict diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), according to a study ...
Medical Xpress / Recent sensory experiences adversely impact perceptual decisions, study finds
People's perceptions and their interpretation of the world are known to often be influenced by their expectations and past experiences. One well-established example of this is serial dependence, a bias that prompts humans ...
