The life of a plant scientist involves long hours in the lab, thinking up, designing, and monitoring experiments that might tell us something new about how life works. But sometimes it helps to log off the computer, hang up the lab coats, and seek inspiration in nature. The life of a plant scientist involves long hours…

The desert that we see today in Arabia was once a region that repeatedly underwent “green” periods in the past, as a result of periods of high rainfall, resulting in the formation of lakes and rivers about 9,000 years ago.

In a significant advancement, researchers from the Nanoscience Center (NSC) at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have unveiled an innovative, label-free ratiometric fluorosensor designed for the selective and sensitive detection of enteroviral RNA. The research promises to deliver even more advanced and effective detection methods, reinforcing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing global health…
A study published in Science Advances has revealed promising strategies to significantly improve crop yields by addressing photorespiration, a metabolic process that can reduce productivity by up to 36% in some crops. Researchers from the University of Groningen and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, working as part of the GAIN4CROPS project, have evaluated several alternative pathways…
Researchers from chemistry, biology, and medicine are increasingly turning to AI models to develop new hypotheses. However, it is often unclear on which basis the algorithms come to their conclusions and to what extent they can be generalized.

In anticipation of the upcoming 35th anniversary of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, ESA/Hubble is kicking off the celebrations with a new image of the star cluster NGC 346, featuring new data and processing techniques. This prolific star factory is in the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the largest of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies. In…
History has repeatedly shown that moments of major social and political progress are often followed by backlash. For example, following the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, the Reconstruction Era saw unchecked violence against Black Americans, and after the women’s suffrage movement secured the rights of women to vote, anti-suffrage propaganda dominated the conversation…
