Dialog / Unraveling electron transport dynamics in photosystem II under water deficit and heat stress in pearl millet
Heat and water deficit stresses tend to impede and restrict the efficiency of photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and maximum photochemical quantum yield in plants based on their characteristic ability to interfere with ...
Science X / Best of Last Week—Alternate theory of gravity, automated restroom cleaning, Martian meteorite mystery solved
It was a good week for physics research as an international team of astrophysicists made observations of star clusters that were consistent with the predictions of an alternative theory of gravity—called "modified Newtonian ...
Dialog / Rangewide analysis reveals climatic sensitivities and non-timber values of tall redwoods
Coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) has a narrow and fragmented distribution in western North America. Extreme resistance to fire and fungi allows redwoods to live more than 2,000 years and become the tallest trees on ...
Science X / Best of Last Week—A hitch found in proton structure, a tentacled robot, a new way to prevent liver cancer
It was a good week for physics research as a team at the University of Colorado combined two features of quantum mechanics to demonstrate entanglement between atoms and the delocalization of atoms using an entangled matter-wave ...
Science X / Best of Last Week—A record-breaking gamma burst, a new battery for cars, new insights into long COVID
It was a good week for space science as a team working at the Gemini South telescope in Chile observed a record-breaking gamma-ray burst—possibly the most powerful explosion ever recorded. Also, a combined team from Liverpool ...
Dialog / Resolving 'Faraday's paradox': New experimental evidence on the influence of the test circuit
Unipolar induction is a specific form of induction that has caused much confusion among researchers and has been heavily debated in the literature, to the point that it has been deemed by some as paradoxical. After performing ...
Dialog / Researchers leverage new machine learning methods to learn from noisy labels for image classification
The rapid development of deep learning in recent years is largely due to the rapid increase in the scale of data. The availability of large amounts of data is revolutionary for model training by the deep learning community. ...
Science X / Best of Last Week—Nobel prizes awarded, harnessing energy from a breeze, primordial molecules form peptides
It was a good week for physics and chemistry as Nobel prizes were awarded to Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger for proving that tiny particles can retain a connection with one another even when separated—they ...
Science X / Best of Last Week—Evolution in action at Chernobyl, a shortcut for neural networks and benefits of guar gum
It was an interesting week for Earth science and evolutionary history as a pair of researchers with Uppsala University, Pablo Burraco and Germán Orizaola, found that studying Eastern tree frogs in the areas around Chernobyl ...
Science X / Best of Last Week—Coastal cities sinking, when to charge electric cars, prepping for deflecting asteroids
It was a busy week for the study of human impacts on the planet as a team of researchers at Tel Aviv University found evidence of human activity 3,000 years ago that destroyed local vegetation and irreparably damaged the ...
Dialog / Atom-economy and time-economy synthesis of diclofenac sodium in a desktop micro-chemical plant
In recent years, continuous flow chemistry has evolved into a powerful platform for molecular assembly that is making an impact on organic synthetic chemistry. Unlike conventional batch method, chemical transformations are ...
Science X / Best of Last Week—Basal thaw, robots that draw their own circuits, using nasal spray to combat COVID-19
It was an interesting week for Earth science and its history as a team at Stanford University explored whether we are missing a crucial component of sea-level rise. They suggest more attention needs to be given to basal thaw, ...
