Alternate stream water-testing method detects emerging contaminants

Alternate stream water-testing method detects emerging contaminants

Pollutants known as "contaminants of emerging concern" or chemicals that could potentially harm human health and have been found in the environment, including pesticides, ingredients from personal care products, pharmaceuticals and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are increasingly found in streams and lakes.

Researchers pioneer method to detect dehydration in plants

Researchers pioneer method to detect dehydration in plants

Have you ever wondered if your plants were dry and dehydrated, or if you're not watering them enough? Farmers and green-fingered enthusiasts alike may soon have a way to find this out in real time. Over the past decade, researchers have been working on sensors to detect a wide range of chemical compounds, and a critical bottleneck has been developing sensors that can be used within living biological systems.

Fuji apple study finds genetic mechanisms behind high-yield trees

Fuji apple study finds genetic mechanisms behind high-yield trees

Apples rank among the world's most valuable fruit crops, with production spanning more than 100 countries. Some apple trees naturally develop into what farmers call "spur-type" varieties—compact trees that are more productive and easier to maintain. But the genetic mechanisms underlying this coveted trait have remained elusive—until now.

Wood ants that actively combat plant diseases could be used in organic apple orchards

Wood ants that actively combat plant diseases could be used in organic apple orchards

The small industrious wood ant can do more than just build high nests in spruce forests. A newly published article in the journal Microbial Ecology reveals that ants combat a range of plant diseases, including those affecting apples. At the same time, ants hunt pests like winter moth larvae, which can defoliate apple trees, to feed their larvae. This opens up entirely new perspectives for biological control of plant diseases.

Brighter and more efficient LEDs with low polarization resist 'efficiency droop'

Brighter and more efficient LEDs with low polarization resist 'efficiency droop'

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are everywhere in modern life, from smartphones to home lighting. But today's LEDs have a major limitation: when you try to make them brighter by increasing their power, they become less efficient.
