New research suggests that artificial aerosols made from materials that are readily available at Mars could warm the planet over 5,000 times more effectively than the best gases. The post ‘Nanoparticle Warming’ Have Potential to Warm Mars, Planetary Scientists Say appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News. New research suggests that artificial aerosols made from…
Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in agricultural biotechnology by using CRISPR/Cas9 to edit the potato genome, resulting in plants with increased resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. This innovation could lead to a new era of sustainable farming, where crops are naturally fortified against diseases and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring a stable food…
Sweet potato, a staple in combating global hunger, faces significant threats from pests like whiteflies and weevils, impacting plant growth and yields. A new study harnesses the power of genomic and metagenomic data to predict pest abundance and identify key genes that could fortify the plant’s defense mechanisms. Sweet potato, a staple in combating global hunger,…

After 13 months of what felt like an endless breaking of heat records, the streak came to an end last month—just barely. The European climate agency Copernicus said Thursday that July 2024’s average heat just missed surpassing July of last year. While the slightly cooler month is good news and could provide some minor relief…
