a revolution for sustainable agriculture

The rise of advanced artificial intelligence (edge AI) could well mark the beginning of a new era for sustainable agriculture. A recent study proposes a roadmap for integrating this technology into farming practices. The aim? To improve the efficiency, quality and safety of agricultural production, while addressing a range of environmental, social and economic challenges. […]

Treatment of stress-induced exhaustion disorder has wrong focus

A new thesis at Uppsala University questions the traditional view of stress-induced exhaustion disorder. A new model is proposed in its place that puts more focus on meaningfulness rather than recovery.

Reduction of esters by a novel photocatalyst

The sweet smell of strawberries and other fruits is thanks to a chemical compound called ester, which is also found in many fats and polyesters. The ubiquitous compound can be broken down to produce desirable alcohols and other chemicals for use across industries including pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, but the process can be costly, both financially […]

Modifying genomes of tardigrades to unravel their secrets

Some species of tardigrades are highly and unusually resilient to various extreme conditions fatal to most other forms of life. The genetic basis for these exceptional abilities remains elusive. For the first time, researchers from the University of Tokyo successfully edited genes using the CRISPR technique in a highly resilient tardigrade species previously impossible to […]

The discovery of new turbulence transition in fusion plasmas

Background Fusion energy is that released when two light nuclei combine to form a single heavier one (nuclear fusion reaction). Fusion energy-based power generation (fusion power plant) uses the energy generated when deuterium and tritium combine to form helium. A nuclear fusion reaction does not produce carbon dioxide. In addition, since it is possible to […]

Key mechanism for maintaining proper telomere length identified

The length of telomeres that protect the ends of our chromosomes should be tightly regulated. Those that are too long predispose to cancer, and those that are too short lose their protective ability, resulting in telomere disorders with serious health consequences. Our cells prevent this excessive shortening by adding telomeric DNA to the ends of […]

Scientists uncover new way viruses fight back against bacteria

Genes linked to deadly parasites’ spread beyond Africa identified

The findings reveal that climate change and measures to control populations of tsetse flies, which carry the disease, may drive molecular changes in the organisms that cause sleeping sickness — which can be fatal if left untreated. The parasites — known as African trypanosomes — are normally transmitted by tsetse flies in sub-Saharan Africa. However, […]
