How Plants Evolved Multiple Ways to Override Genetic Instructions
Biologists at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered the origin of a curious duplication that gives plants multiple ways to override instructions that are coded into their DNA.
New Study: Earthquake Prediction Techniques Lend Quick Insight Into Strength, Reliability of Materials
Materials scientists can now use insight from a very common mineral and well-established earthquake and avalanche statistics to quantify how hostile environmental interactions may impact the degradation and failure of materials used for advanced solar panels, geological carbon sequestration and infrastructure such as buildings, roads and bridges.
Coyotes Thrive Despite Human and Predator Pressures
Once a rare sight in the northeastern United States, the eastern coyote has become a common presence across New Hampshire’s forests, farms and suburbs.
Bio-Based Fibres Could Pose Greater Threat to the Environment Than Conventional Plastics
Bio-based materials may pose a greater health risk to some of the planet’s most important species than the conventional plastics they are designed to replace, a new study has shown.
Health Experts Push for the Elimination of a ‘Remarkably Harmful Toxin’
The Biden administration’s recently announced plan to replace all lead pipes in the U.S. is a reminder that the toxic metal remains a threat, even in a country that has largely banned its use.
