Changes in carotenoid metabolism can simultaneously influence yield, stress tolerance, and nutritional content in plants
This year, the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam honours again a young scientist for his pioneering research on plant mitochondria.
Possibility of de novo domestication of wild plants by cultivated plants
The skulls of tetrapods had fewer bones than extinct and living fish, limiting their evolution for millions of years, according to a latest study.
Insects have weak ability to adjust their thermal limits to high temperatures and are thus more susceptible to global warming than previously thought.
Scientists have harnessed the potential of bacteria to help build advanced synthetic cells which mimic real life functionality.
Pioneering research deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and satellite modelling means the thickness of Arctic sea ice can be measured all year round for the first time, bringing significant benefits for future weather forecasts and shipping in the region.
Small molecules, largely ignored until now, have regulatory functions in stress reduction
COVID-19 infection increases the risk of potentially life-threatening blood clots for at least 49 weeks, according to a new study of health records of 48 million unvaccinated adults from the first wave of the pandemic.
There are no statistically significant differences in key factors of population growth - breeding, birth, survival, life span and death - between dehorned or horned black rhinos new research, conducted by the University of Bristol Vet School, Namibian Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism, and Save the Rhino Trust has found.
With the help of instruments designed partly in Canada, a team of Université de Montréal astronomers have discovered an exoplanet that could be completely covered in water.
Showing how precise it can be, the James Webb Space Telescope detects the first definitive carbon dioxide signature in an exoplanet atmosphere.
Measures of morning salivary cortisol show that children experience stress when starting kindergarten. It’s normal.
It’s one thing to innovate and find better ways to get healthy, eco-friendly and sustainable foods to consumers – and quite another to understand what leads there, an UdeM study finds.
Researchers at Université de Montréal find that social support among LGBTQ+ community members – sometimes called “chosen families” - can help them better cope psychologically with the pandemic.
An UdeM computer scientist and his PhD student have developed a tool for animators to use bitmap sketches to control how a character stands and moves in three dimensions.
Researchers at Mila and IVADO introduce a new neurocomputational model of the human brain that could bridge the gap in understanding AI and the biological mechanisms underlying mental disorders.
New nanoparticle shape can greatly enhance signals from multiple separate biomarkers at once, accurately detecting head and neck cancers without biopsies to improve global health
Electricity-generating rooftop solar cells not only save on planet-warming carbon emissions, they also save a significant amount of water, say a pair of Duke University researchers who have done the math.
New research may provide avenues for novel treatment of diseases like Alzheimer’s
