The microscopic algae that corals need to survive also harbor a possibly disease-causing virus in their genetic material, which may threaten coral reefs as the climate changes.

The vast underground network of fungi beneath our feet stores over 13 gigatons of carbon around the world, roughly equivalent to 36 per cent of yearly global fossil fuel emissions, according to new research.

Researchers have identified significant differences in the gut microbiome of female southern white rhinos who are reproducing successfully in captivity, as compared to females who have not reproduced successfully in captivity.

Mandatory fortification of corn masa flour products with folic acid, as is already the case with enriched cereal grains, may achieve more substantial prevention of neural tube birth defects among the Hispanic population.

An AI-based mass spectrometric technique has been developed that can determine the monomeric sequence of a polymer, facilitating the development of new materials.
