Power plants, boilers, furnaces, vehicles, and other existing energy infrastructure must be retired to meet the 1.5-degree-Celcius target set out in the Paris agreement and stabilise the climate; however, the
Scientists have taken a huge step in furthering our understanding of the internal structure of a leaf. The new findings published on 27 June in Nature Communications also provide insights
A multidisciplinary group of experts from academia, research centres, and funding organisations propose a Global Surveillance System (GSS) to improve global food security by preventing crop diseases. The GSS would
Scientists have discovered a distinct class of neurons or brain cells that may control eating behaviours. Consuming fatty foods alters the activity of these neurons in mice, essentially “releasing the
A new study published on 24 June in Scientific Reports, a Nature journal, suggests that drinking coffee may stimulate “brown fat”, the type of fat associated with calorie-burning as opposed
A new paper published on 24 June in Nature Medicine pinpoints changes in the gut microbiome — the billions of bacteria that live in the human gut — associated with
Climate change will likely increase future global energy demand, according to a new paper published on 24 June in Nature Communications (1). The authors predict climate change will increase global
It is indeed a small world after all. The world’s marine fisheries form a “small-world network” and every year, over $10 billion worth of fish are caught in countries outside
A new paper published on 21 June in Science charts the genomes of 44 ruminants. Results of the large-scale study provide a valuable resource and plenty of insights into the
