In Chile's arid Atacama, the driest desert in the world, scientists are studying a small, resilient flower that could hold genetic clues to help crops withstand worsening drought conditions driven by ...

Reseachers uses quantum simulations to vizualize the shape of a photon emitted by a single nanoparticle -- in this case, it's lemon-shaped.

Orchid seeds are as small as dust and do not provide any nutrients for the young plant to grow. The adult plants are known to rely on a certain type of fungi that develop structures within the plant's ...

Swann explained how researchers put together computer-generated controlled climate experiments, which she then analyzed and dissected, to the packed lecture hall. She used these models to determine ...

Deadwood-decomposing fungi feed germinating orchids, providing the carbon their tiny seeds don’t have. The Kobe University finding not only closes a gap in our understanding of wild orchid ecology but ...

Kobe University researchers found that orchids rely on wood-decaying fungi to germinate, feeding on the carbon from rotting logs. Their seedlings only grow near deadwood, forming precise fungal ...

In school we all learned how crucial trees are to our environment (crib note — they keep us alive), but aside from their ecological benefits, trees are beloved for numerous other reasons. Kids love to ...

Renewable energy sources have generated more power than coal globally for the first time on record, according to a new report.

Deadwood-decomposing fungi feed germinating orchids, providing the carbon their tiny seeds don’t have. The Kobe University finding not only closes a gap in our understanding of wild orchid ecology but ...

New research reveals how the Earth might overcorrect for global warming. For a long time, scientists believed that the gradual breakdown of silicate rocks played the leading role in regulating Earth’s ...

Kearny-based Thea Energy partners with AWS to advance stellarator fusion technology, aiming to bring clean, commercial fusion power to market.
