Researchers have developed a low-cost, rapid way to verify the quality of graphene oxide (GO), potentially reducing a significant barrier to its wider use.

Using an optimized CRISPR/Cas9 workflow and DIPA-CRISPR, researchers identified Laccase2 as essential for hardening and darkening overwintering eggs in pea aphids. Knockout mutations left eggs fragile, unpigmented and vulnerable to infection.

Researchers surveyed 58 directors of hospital-based addiction consult services (ACS) and found that most ACS recognized the prevalence of high-potency synthetic opioids and agreed they have changed how they approach medication initiation.

An international team has fully decoded the sweetpotato genome, separating its six chromosome sets for the first time. The phased genome reveals a hybrid origin and genetic traits behind its resilience.

Adding crushed calcium carbonate – limestone – to agricultural fields can remove tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year while improving crop yields, a Yale-led study published found.

Published today in Nature Geoscience, University of Victoria geographer Sophie Norris and her international team provide the most comprehensive view of how fast glaciers erode, and how they change the landscape.

In a new levitation experiment, researchers successfully stabilized a relatively large object to the point where it moved nearly entirely in a quantum physical manner. This advancement could lead to better, more sensitive quantum sensors.

The Barcelona CryoZoo has received a grant from the international organization Revive & Restore to advance research on stem cell reprogramming in wild animal species.

Researchers have overcome a long-standing molecular design challenge by realizing efficient light emission and photon absorption in the same compound.

Researchers have created a new class of programmable soft materials that can absorb impacts like never before, while also changing shape when heated.
