The understanding of bacterial photosynthesis has advanced significantly because of the work of researchers from the University of Liverpool and their international partners. The complex structures of important photosynthetic protein complexes in purple bacteria. This revealed through the use of cutting-edge imaging techniques. This work could open the door for [...]
Researchers have long known that the Comamonadaceae, a common family of wastewater bacteria, can grow on the plastics present in metropolitan rivers and wastewater systems. However, until now, nothing was known about what these microorganisms do with the plastic. A pioneering study led by Northwestern University has revealed the processes [...]
Sea Robins are fascinating organisms, distinguished in the marine world by their unusual combination of traits. These animals, sometimes known as “walking fish,” resemble birds with their wing-like fins and have crab-like legs. These legs, on the other hand, serve a much more sophisticated and distinct purpose than mobility. New [...]
Plant Stem cell research has long been the pioneer of medical science, with the potential to revolutionize therapies for various human ailments. Most people connect the term “stem cells” with humans or animals, however, a growing body of evidence indicates that plants also include stem cells. Plant stem cells may hold the secret to [...]
In an era of increased urbanization, the value of green spaces in urban areas is becoming more apparent. A recent study has identified a wide range of benefits connected with green neighborhoods, including mental and physical health. The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) undertook a large-scale study highlighting greenery’s value in [...]
Plant cold specialists, such as spoonworts, have adjusted exceptionally well to the cold conditions of the Ice Ages. The changing cold and warm eras resulted in the emergence of diverse species and a large expansion of their genome. This study investigates how these plants have adjusted to their habitats, the [...]
Significant sections of the great fabric of fungal diversity remain unexplored, particularly among insects and fungi. These organisms, which include millions of species that have yet to be cataloged by science, constitute a new frontier for investigation and conservation in the face of accelerating global biodiversity loss. Academy Research Fellow [...]
The white rhino conservation is essential due to its threatened status and genetic diversity concerns. Advanced reproduction treatments, particularly IVF, are now critical to preserving and rejuvenating their population. Southern white rhinos were nearly extinct by the late nineteenth century, with populations as low as 20 animals due to widespread [...]
A revolutionary study has discovered unexpected survival methods used by fish of coral reefs living in the warmest waters on Earth, the Arabian Gulf. This study, led by John Burt, Co-Principal Researcher at the Mubadala Arabian Center for Climate and Environmental Sciences (ACCESS) at NYU Abu Dhabi, and Jacob Johansen, [...]
A novel discovery in concrete manufacture by the University of Northwestern’s team of engineers provides dual benefits, absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment while maintaining if not increasing, concrete strength. This new technique, which employs a carbonated water-based solution throughout manufacture, has the potential to greatly impact worldwide efforts to mitigate climate [...]
