Nanocoating technology reduces contactinterfacial resistance between electrodes and electrolytes, maximizing efficiency in both hydrogen production and power generation
A new study reveals how manganese-modified biochar helps beneficial fungi break down agricultural residues and accelerate the formation of valuable humic substances, offering a promising approach to sustainable organic waste recycling and soil improvement.
Soils are among the planet's largest carbon reservoirs, yet salinity and land degradation threaten their ability to store carbon and support agriculture. Improving carbon storage in salt-affected farmland could therefore offer a dual benefit: restoring soil health while supporting climate change mitigation.
The research opens new possibilities for making biotechnological processes faster and more sustainable
Auburn University researchers have used ultrashort laser pulses to align nanoscale polar regions in a quantum ferroelectric metal. Selected as a Physical Review Letters Editors’ Suggestion and Featured in Physics, the study provides evidence that electric order emerges through the alignment of pre-existing polar regions and establishes an optical approach to controlling them, with potential relevance to future ultrafast optoelectronic technologies.
Salk scientists find a receptor called SRF3 that manages cellular iron levels while simultaneously regulating the plant’s immune response. Discovery reveals previously unknown mechanism that allows plants both to absorb this essential nutrient and defend against microbes, informing future crop resilience efforts. Study also provides insights into cellular mechanisms that could be relevant in mammalian cells and key signaling proteins in cancer and beyond.
