Barley seedlings grow on average 50% more when their root system is stimulated electrically through a new cultivation substrate. Researchers have now developed an electrically conductive ‘soil’ for soil-less cultivation, known as hydroponics. Barley seedlings grow on average 50% more when their root system is stimulated electrically through a new cultivation substrate. Researchers have now …
Researchers have identified a wide range of risk factors for young-onset dementia. The findings challenge the notion that genetics are the sole cause of the condition, laying the groundwork for new prevention strategies.

Scientists have identified a protein in the visual system of mice that appears to be key for stabilizing the body’s circadian rhythms by buffering the brain’s response to light. The finding advances efforts to better treat sleep disorders and jet lag, the study authors say. Scientists have identified a protein in the visual system of …

Low-carbohydrate diets comprised mostly of plant-based proteins and fats with healthy carbohydrates such as whole grains were associated with slower long-term weight gain than low-carbohydrate diets comprised mostly of animal proteins and fats with unhealthy carbohydrates like refined starches, according to a new study. Low-carbohydrate diets comprised mostly of plant-based proteins and fats with healthy …

Researchers are constantly pushing the limits of technology by breaking new ground in CO2 conversion. Their goal is to turn the harmful greenhouse gas into a valuable resource. A novel catalyst system could help reach that goal. Researchers are constantly pushing the limits of technology by breaking new ground in CO2 conversion. Their goal is …
