Researchers at the University of Bonn have developed software that can simulate the growth of field crops. To do this, they fed thousands of photos from field experiments into a learning algorithm. This enabled the algorithm ...
Smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa tend to use very small amounts of fertilizer, limiting their crop productivity. A 2016 intervention in Tanzania increased farmers' fertilizer use and their crop yields. However, a ...
Will future humans use warp drives to explore the cosmos? We're in no position to eliminate the possibility. But if our distant descendants ever do, it won't involve dilithium crystals, and Scottish accents will have evaporated ...
A recent study has investigated teleparallel gravity and its potential to resolve tension surrounding the expansion of the universe in a way that general relativity can't.
ETH researchers are using radar to scan the snow and ice on the Jungfraujoch. Sometimes, scaling an icy peak is the only way for scientists to fully understand satellite data.
During his visit to the Adelaide Zoo on Sunday, Chinese Premier Li Qiang announced that two "equally beautiful, lively, cute, and younger" pandas would be given to Australia to replace Wang Wang and Fu Ni, who will return ...
A group of scientists has released the first comprehensive list of birds that haven't been seen in more than a decade, with the help of Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the globular cluster NGC 2005. It's not an unusual globular cluster in and of itself, but it is a peculiarity when compared to its surroundings.
A team of scientists used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to parse the composition of the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant located 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. With the telescope's MIRI ...
Solitary bees have a shorter lifespan compared to honeybees, usually lasting the spring or summer season. These bees have limited time to perform a lot of pollination work and they can use all the help they can get.
