Adding an electrical jolt to fermentation of industrial food waste speeds up the process and increases the yield of platform chemicals that are valuable components in a wide range of products, new research shows. Researchers also discovered that combining two bacterial species in the electro-fermentation mix not only helped accelerate the process, but allowed for more targeted chemical production.
A research team sheds light on the synthesis of 2-aminonaphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid (2-ANDSA) diazonium salt, demonstrating how advanced thermal analysis and theoretical modeling can reduce the threat of thermal runaway.
A research team presents the transcriptomic analysis of pearl millet, a highly resilient cereal, revealing how this crop adapts to high temperature, drought, and salt stress.
A research team identified nearly 7,000 phosphorylation sites in close to 2,800 proteins and revealed distinct regulatory patterns tied to growth or dormancy.
A new study shows that traditional masculine norms are a significant barrier preventing men from reducing their meat and dairy consumption, and recommends how to better appeal to men to change their dietary ways to mitigate damage to the environment from animal agriculture.
Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed NeuraLeaf, a revolutionary CG model using deep learning to represent diverse plant species and their leaf deformations. This single model overcomes the limitations of traditional manual modeling by disentangling species-specific shapes from dynamic 3D deformations like wilting or curling. NeuraLeaf allows precise tracking of leaf changes, enhancing growth prediction, disease detection, and agricultural management. Presented at ICCV 2025, this technology promises to advance plant science and contribute to "PlantTwin," a project creating digital twins of plants.
