Researchers wanted to find the best genes to use as a reference when measuring gene expression in blackgram plants. They looked at 14 different genes and tested them under various conditions. First, they tested these genes during 17 different stages of plant growth. They used several methods to see
In the icy reaches of the Canadian High Arctic, a surprising discovery was made. A rhinoceros, unlike any seen before, roamed this region 23 million years ago. This rhino, named Epiatheracerium itjilik, was about the size of a modern Indian rhino but lacked a horn. Its fossils were found on Devon Is
The way water animals handle poisons changes with temperature. Scientists dug into this by looking at how different creatures and chemicals react. They used a special math formula to study how fast poisons enter and leave these animals' bodies. The results? Warmer water speeds up both processes. Th
Making hydrogen fuel without expensive metals is a big deal for clean energy. Scientists have cooked up a new recipe using cheap materials to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. They started with a special kind of crystal and added a tiny bit of iron. When they heated it up and treated it with pho
Humans have always been fascinated by the possibility of life existing beyond Earth. This fascination has driven us to look up at the stars and wonder what else might be out there. Over time, this curiosity has turned into a serious scientific mission. Scientists from different fields, like astronom
Gentiana straminea Maxim. is a plant that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for a long time. It is known for its beneficial compounds, especially iridoid glycosides, which can help with various health issues like joint pain, liver problems, and stomach troubles. However, scientists are s
Ever wondered how water moves in and out of cells? There's a tiny part called the selectivity filter in aquaporins that makes this happen. It's like a gatekeeper that lets water in but keeps other stuff out. Scientists have been trying to figure out how this gatekeeper works, but it's been tricky be
Fuel cells are like the superheroes of clean energy, and platinum-based catalysts are their sidekicks. These tiny particles help fuel cells work better, but they need a little help themselves. That's where heat treatment and doping come in. By heating them up in hydrogen and adding a bit of rhodium
In the realm of medical science, a new AI tool named MSInet is making waves. It's designed to tackle a complex task: interpreting mass spectrometry imaging (MSI). MSI is a technique that creates maps of molecules in tissues without using labels. However, these maps are often messy and hard to unders
Scientists have found a way to make water splitting more efficient. They used a simple method to add tiny bits of iridium to nickel hydroxide. This mix works well for both sides of water splitting: making oxygen and making hydrogen. The iridium changes the nickel hydroxide. It makes the material be
