RIKEN scientists in Japan have created a “self-healing” polymer made from a common chemical that is aimed, not only at minimizing the environmental impacts of commercial polymers, but also improving durability and cost efficiency.
With the world experiencing an increase in drought since the beginning of the millennium, Japan-based RIKEN has created a cost-effective soil treatment intended on increasing the survival rate of crops by 10 times.
Some researchers are criticizing publication of scientific findings in the media before the results have been peer reviewed and published in science journals.
Cotton farmers in West Texas could be missing out on increased yields by not applying enough potassium, or K, to their soils, according to recent research.
In the threatening trouble of climate change, growing commercial crops on solar farms is a potentially efficient use of agricultural land that can both increase commercial food production and improve solar panel performance and longevity, according to new Cornell research.
The lack of data on MD/PhD students from minority backgrounds could hinder efforts to make these programs more inclusive, says a McMaster University study published by Academic Medicine.
Black and Hispanic patients were more likely than white patients to develop a wide array of lasting symptoms and conditions after a COVID-19 diagnosis, according to a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators.
Metal oxide nanoparticles – ubiquitous in nature, and commonly used as food coloring and anti-caking agents in the commercial ingredients industry – may damage and disturb parts of the human intestine, according to new research conducted by Cornell and Binghamton University scientists.
Numerous studies have shown that exposure to nature can improve mental health and well-being. A new study from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology dug a little deeper, looking at what kind of nature experiences were associated with a greater sense of well-being during the COVID pandemic.
The ongoing search for signs of life on Mars relies in part on terrestrial analogs – places on Earth closely resembling the past or current geology and climate of the red planet that can be readily explored.
