University of Adelaide scientists have identified the genes in wheat that control tolerance to a significant yield-limiting soil condition found around the globe - boron toxicity.
Salk researchers compared a dozen stem cell lines and discovered a newer method beats out the more established protocol when it comes to creating cells that most resemble those in a human embryo.
In chambers that mimic Mars' conditions, University of Michigan researchers have shown how small amounts of liquid water could form on the planet despite its below-freezing temperatures.
Membrane developed by MIT researchers can separate even highly mixed fine oil-spill residues.
Bacteria are a pervasive and elusive bunch. Scientists estimate that between 10 million and 1 billion different microbial species populate the world, yet only a handful of them have so far been identified. Why? Because the overwhelming majority of microbes refuse to grow in the laboratory. This is despite decades of scientists’ best efforts at coaxing the microscopic organisms into action.
The University of Adelaide has been awarded more than $3.8 million by the Australian Research Council (ARC) to collaborate with industry on a range of projects spanning fields such as computer science, genetics, agriculture, engineering, communications, physics and the environment.
Sir Isaac Newton probably wasn’t thinking about how animals urinate when he was developing his laws of gravity. But they are connected – by the urethra, to be specific.
Max Messinger, a graduate student in biology at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem NC along with a group of scientists are using tiny robots to visualize the Earth like never before
Following a thorough damage assessment, the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory had restored power to the linear accelerator. All safety systems and fire suppression systems have been restored. SLAC will start up accelerator operation and resume operations at both LCLS and FACET, according to the lab's website. The fire had shut down the lab as of late Thursday, June 28, but there were no injuries and no danger to the community, the university said in a statement.
Scientists have found how the electric fish evolved its jolt.
