Ceramic Coatings For High-Tech Applications: Bayreuth Engineering Scientists Optimize New Spraying Method
For a long time, the production of ceramic coatings has only been possible by means of sintering techniques conducted at more than 1,000 degrees Celsius.
Nanosensor Can Alert A Smartphone When Plants Are Stressed
MIT engineers have developed a way to closely track how plants respond to stresses such as injury, infection, and light damage, using sensors made of carbon nanotubes.
Oak Genomics Proves Its Worth
A year and a half following the publication of the pedunculate oak genome by France’s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE) and The Commission for Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies (CEA), initial results based on this genomic resource were published in the April 16, 2020, issue of New Phytologist.
Cable Bacteria Can Drastically Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Rice Cultivation
A Danish-German research collaboration may have found a solution to the large climate impact from the world's rice production: By adding electric conductive cable bacteria to soil with rice plants, they could reduce methane emissions by more than 90%.
Rising Carbon Dioxide Levels Will Change Marine Habitats And Fish Communities
Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the consequent changes created through ocean acidification will cause severe ecosystem effects, impacting reef-forming habitats and the associated fish, according to new research.
