Study shows how plants time their flowering in the spring
A new study published in the journal Genes & Development found that a key molecule in flowering plants becomes very active in response to the first frost of autumn. Called “COOLAIR,” the molecule prepares plants for flowering in spring by suppressing a gene called FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC), which inhibits flowering. Exploring the molecular process behind vernalization Vernalization is the initiation of […]

Researchers use laser to “superfreeze” antimatter, the mysterious mirror version of “ordinary” matter
Researchers from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) successfully used laser to cool antimatter to near absolute zero. The chilled antimatter reached temperatures just one-twentieth of a degree above absolute zero (minus 459.67 F), which was more than 3,000 times cooler than the coldest recorded temperature in the Antarctic. The laser-cooling technique, which the researchers developed as part […]

From light to liquid fuel: Experts use sunlight and a copper-based catalyst to turn carbon dioxide into methanol
A team led by Argonne National Laboratory researchers has found a new way to convert carbon dioxide into methanol, an alcohol commonly used as an alternative fuel. In a paper published in the journal Nature Energy, the researchers described how they used sunlight and a copper-based catalyst to trigger carbon dioxide conversion. Using photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide to fuel […]

Scientists explore lava tubes in Hawaii to prepare for Mars and moon exploration
Researchers are plumbing the depths of Mauna Loa in Hawaii to study the volcano’s lava tubes. The researchers wear bulky suits like those required for space exploration while navigating volcanic terrain and conducting research. Besides studying the environment and organisms living there, the team’s goal is to prepare for the unique challenges of living in space, particularly on Mars and the […]

Study: Even people with mild COVID-19 may develop lifelong natural immunity to the coronavirus
A recent study published in the journal Nature suggests that people who recovered from a mild case of COVID-19 may have developed lifelong immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus. Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine arrived at this finding after tracking people who have had mild COVID-19. They found that these individuals still had immune cells that produce antibodies […]

Study: Tropical trees with thick leaves adapt well to high levels of carbon dioxide (because plants love CO2)
A team led by University of Washington (UW) researchers found that tropical plants with thick leaves respond very well to high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. In a study published in the journal Global Geobiochemical Cycles, the researchers detailed how multiple changes in the plants’ leaves preserve the ability of tropical forests to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Plants […]

Animal study reveals cadmium exposure and Alzheimer’s risk gene may be linked to cognitive impairment
Researchers at the University of Washington found that cadmium exposure, combined with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease, might accelerate cognitive decline. The researchers arrived at this finding after exposing mice with an Alzheimer’s risk gene to cadmium. They detailed their findings in a paper published in the journal Toxicological Sciences. The effects of cadmium plus an Alzheimer’s risk gene The […]

Study: Rolling blocks of dry ice create gullies on Mars
Gullies on Mars have fascinated scientists for some time. These sawtoothed networks of narrow channels commonly appear on Martian slopes. They look just like gullies on Earth and give the impression that powerful streams of water recently cascaded the surface. But all of the water on the Red Planet has been hidden underground or locked up on the poles as […]

Universal memories: Astronomers closer to detecting gravitational waves that leave behind “memories” as they pass through
Astronomers are getting closer to detecting the “memory” that gravitational waves leave behind as they pass through space. Next-generation facilities and existing ones, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the U.S. and the Virgo Interferometer in Italy, will be key to this detection. In an article for Space, astrophysicist Paul Sutter of the Ohio State University wrote […]

Study: Supplementing with omega-3s found to promote brain health in patients with coronary heart disease
Coronary heart disease is the most common form of heart disease in the United States. It occurs when plaque builds up inside the walls of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart. Because plaque buildup reduces blood flow to the brain, many researchers consider coronary heart disease as a risk factor for dementia. Therefore, it is […]
