Plant scraps key component in making cheap, sustainable jet fuel

Cancer cells rarely begin stealthily. Quite the contrary, they alert the immune system to their presence by displaying chemical red flags on their membranes. When detected, the body's defences can swoop in and destroy renegade cells before they can do significant damage. Lipids, fatty molecules traditionally thought to be largely a fuel supply for developing tumours, are at the heart of this early detection system.

Two of the planet's most urgent environmental stressors have the potential to affect the development and reproductive production of plants found along the world's coasts, according to new research.

Tuning this environment by controlling how the CoPc catalyst was distributed on the carbon nanotube surface allowed carbon dioxide to be as much as eight times more likely to produce methanol, a discovery that could increase the efficiency of other catalytic processes and have a widespread impact on other fields, said Robert Baker, co-author of the study and a professor in chemistry and biochemistry at The Ohio State University.

Researchers have developed a simple strategy that improves the accuracy of approaches used to understand how environmental elements like temperature affect gene activity in plants.

Researchers have published a simple approach that increases the accuracy of techniques used to understand how environmental factors, such as temperature, impact gene activity in plants.

Researchers created a sustainable approach for 3D-printing various, dynamic colours from a single ink, inspired by chameleons' colour-changing abilities.

As in animals, plants have immune responses that help them defend against pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Before invaders can be stopped, they must first be detected, and this is accomplished by pattern recognition receptors located on the surface of plant cells

According to new research led by the University of Oxford, human crop domestication can affect plant-associated microorganism ecosystems.

ISRO took to the social media platform X and posted, "POEM-3 on PSLV-C58: VSSC/ISRO successfully tests a 100 W class Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell on PSLV-C58's orbital platform, POEM3. https://isro.gov.in/FuelCellFlightTestedPSLVC58.html... Powering missions with efficiency and emitting only water, these fuel cells are the future for power production in space habitats".

Zinc, which is cheap, abundant, and environmentally friendly, could be the answer to better batteries, but there is a major problem
