Scientists in the US are working toward virus-infected insects that would be dispersed in fields to genetically engineer agricultural crops as part of an ongoing programme funded by the US Defense
A paper published in the journal Joule on 4 October presents the most accurate model yet of how increasing wind power could affect climate change (1). Wind power reduces emissions
A new study published on 2 October in Nature Communications shows that anthropogenic warming will increase the burned areas due to fires in Mediterranean Europe (1). However, the findings suggest this
Freshwater fishes are among the most threatened groups of vertebrates and it is estimated that 39% of all European fish species face extinction within this century. During the early 2000s,

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, has suspended an Italian theoretical physicist, Alessandro Strumia, whose research is currently funded by the University of Pisa and the European
Engineering Photosynthesis: Over-expressing an enzyme in maize could lead to higher yields
A new study published on 1 October in Nature Plants has shown that boosting the content of an enzyme called Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) can make maize (corn) plants more productive
New findings published on 26 September in Nature Communications detail what the authors refer to as a “bioinspired multilegged soft millirobot.” The robot’s design allows it to adapt to harsh environments
More bad news for bees it seems. A new study published on 24 September in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a highly regarded journal, has revealed that a
