Researchers show how plants harness toxic molecules called reactive oxygen species for the signaling pathway that gives rise to roots. Identifying the complex molecular interactions that regulate root growth could lead to more productive crops with roots optimized for different soil types.

A computational analysis has surfaced new insights into the wind and water conditions that cause Kemp’s ridley sea turtles to become stranded on beaches in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

Researchers have found that warmer temperatures, at levels expected under most climate change projections, can lead to higher concentrations of arsenic in rice grains. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

A senior has come up with a way to discern life on exoplanets loitering in other cosmic neighborhoods: a spectral field guide. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

New research reveals how a week in the dark rewires brain cell networks and changes hearing sensitivity in adult mice long after the optimal window for auditory learning has passed. With further study, cross-modal learning — the manipulation of one sense to induce change in another sense — could be used to help people with…

The first evidence of a giant planet orbiting a dead white dwarf star has been found in the form of a disc of gas formed from its evaporating atmosphere. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

Probiotics — or ‘good bacteria’ — have been used to treat infant colic with varying success. In a new trial, investigators have shown that drops containing a particular probiotic strain (Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB-12) reduced the duration of daily crying by more than 50% in 80% of the 40 infants who received the probiotic…

Chaperone proteins in human cells dynamically interact with the protein alpha-Synuclein, which is strongly associated with Parkinson’s disease. A disturbed relationship to these ‘bodyguards’ leads to cell damage and the formation of Lewy bodies typical for Parkinson’s disease. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.

New data from the Parker Solar Probe, which got closer to the sun than any other spacecraft, allowed physicists to map the source of a major component of the solar wind that continually peppers Earth. The slow solar wind seems to emerge from coronal holes along the sun’s equator. Data also reveal strange magnetic field…

With many of the products we use every day held together by adhesives, researchers hope to make everything from protective clothing to medical implants and residential plumbing stronger and more corrosion resistant thanks to a newly-developed ‘hyper glue’ formula.

Successful trials of titanium-copper alloys for 3D printing could kickstart a new range of high-performance alloys for medical device, defence and aerospace applications. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

Since its 2018 launch, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (record-holder for closest-ever spacecraft to the Sun) has finished three of 24 planned passes through never-before-explored parts of the Sun’s atmosphere. Four new articles describe what scientists have learned from its unprecedented exploration, and what they look forward to learning next. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.…

A new material that stiffens 1,800-fold when exposed to heat could protect motorcyclists and racecar drivers during accidents. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

Researchers have discovered the largest known avian sex chromosome. The giant chromosome was created when four chromosomes fused together into one, and has been found in two species of lark. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

Researchers are ‘training’ pieces of plastic to walk under the command of light. The method developed is the first time a synthetic actuator ‘learns’ to do new ‘tricks’ based on its past experiences, without computer programming. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.

Long-term treatment with gabapentin, a commonly prescribed drug for nerve pain, could help restore upper limb function after a spinal cord injury, new research in mice suggests. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service

Coal use is down dramatically in the United States and the European Union, and renewable energy is gaining traction. But rising natural gas and oil use in 2019 increased the world’s carbon dioxide emissions modestly for a third straight year. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here.

Metformin is the most commonly prescribed type 2 diabetes drug, yet scientists still do not fully know how it works to control blood sugar levels. Researchers have now used a novel technology to investigate why it functions so well. The findings could also explain why metformin has been shown to extend health span and life…

The archaeon Metallosphaera sedula can uptake and process extraterrestrial material. This is shown by an international team led by astrobiologists, who examines microbial fingerprints on meteorite materials. The researchers also conclude that M. sedula colonizes meteorite minerals faster than those of terrestrial origin. Continue Reading at ScienceDaily.com Click Here. Press Release Distribution Service
