Two types of carbohydrates are important to plants—structural carbohydrates (which form cell walls) and nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs). The latter group represents plants' stored energy reserves, which can be used to ...

Researchers have demonstrated a novel AI model that can predict which DNA molecules bind with other DNA molecules. A more thorough understanding of these hypercomplex binding relationships has utility in applications ranging ...

A spray-based immersion cooling technology capable of effectively cooling lithium-ion battery packs and reducing fire risks using a small amount of dielectric liquid has been developed. The technology demonstrated stable ...

A new discovery in physics could help engineers stabilize robots and structures without relying on complex sensors and control systems, and design metamaterials and network systems that are currently beyond reach.

The interactions between microscopic algal cells and bacteria in the oceans play a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now taken an important step toward deciphering the chemical language ...

A breakthrough combination of new silicone materials and advanced 3D printing technology developed by University of Waterloo researchers could transform how contact lenses are manufactured. The study, "Patient-specific hard ...

Plants do not wait hours to respond to intense sunlight—they react within minutes. Researchers at Bielefeld University and the Australian National University have discovered a new signaling pathway that enables plants to ...

Last week, the U.S. software company Turnitin revealed 53.6% of Australian tertiary education submissions run through its system used some form of AI in the period from October 2025–April 2026. The company, whose plagiarism-detection ...

When playing the classic game "20 Questions," one may begin with the common opener: "Animal, vegetable, or mineral?"

One in 10 Americans say they are a caregiver for a parent 65 or older, according to 2025 Pew research. And many people in the sandwich generation—those who have both children and aging parents—start their caregiving journeys ...

Warmer temperatures bring out ticks that spread diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. But another class of emerging tick-borne pathogens—nairoviruses—is on the rise. Some nairoviruses cause high ...

When neutron stars merge, they create a powerful explosion called a kilonova that flings out neutron-rich material, some of which decays into heavy elements through a process called the r-process. Recent observations of kilonovae ...
