Atomic insight could make plant waste a more practical source of fuels, plastics and chemicals. Every year, agriculture and forestry leave behind large amounts of plant material containing lignin, the substance that helps stems, wood, and other tissues remain rigid. Lignin can make up (up to 35%) of this discarded biomass and represents nature’s largest […]

A new study reveals that some proposed signatures of quantum gravity may have an unexpected classical explanation. Imagine placing an object in two locations at once. Quantum mechanics allows such a possibility, at least for sufficiently small systems. But if the object occupies multiple positions, what happens to the gravity surrounding it? That question lies […]

Some memories from adolescence may not disappear. The brain may simply lock them away for a time while its memory system is being rebuilt. A study in mice has uncovered an unexpected wave of remodeling in a brain region that helps preserve and retrieve long-term memories. During late adolescence, the protective structures surrounding key neurons […]

UCL researchers found that abandoned farmland can be transformed into grassland rich in wildflowers without expensive, labor-intensive seeding. A former crop field in Norfolk was left without seed mixes, soil removal, or deep plowing. Once a year, its vegetation was cut for hay and removed. Over the next decade, wildflowers gradually returned, including species that […]

Prostate tumors can vanish from the immune system’s radar. Now, scientists have found a way to strip away that disguise by changing the length of a single RNA molecule. Researchers have developed a CRISPR-based treatment that changes how prostate cancer cells process messenger RNA, or mRNA. In mice, the approach drew more immune cells into […]
