Sugarcane’s genome is so complex both because it is large and because it contains more copies of chromosomes than a typical plant. Researchers have now developed and combined techniques to create a highly accurate reference genome for sugarcane.

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital discovered that removing a second protein from cancer cells already experiencing tumor suppressor loss can reverse cancer cell identity.

A container of whole milk powder has been discovered after being frozen for 100 years. In a comparative study, researchers have discovered that, despite advancements in selective breeding and changes to farm practices, milk of the past and milk today share more similarities than differences.

A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage in a new battery design by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Researchers have used simulations to determine that a global shift to a healthier, more sustainable diet could be a huge lever to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Researchers have developed an organic photovoltaic film that is both waterproof and flexible, allowing a solar cell to be put onto clothes and still function correctly after being rained on or even washed.

Researchers at AMOLF, in collaboration with partners from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, have realized a new type of metamaterial through which sound waves flow in an unprecedented fashion.

Recognizing personality differences in cattle could help ranchers select herds that best meet grazing needs on rangelands, leading to better animal health and environmental conditions.

Differences in how young adults metabolize THC, the main part of cannabis that makes people feel “high,” can influence how they feel after taking the drug as well as their potential risk for developing cannabis use disorder, or CUD.

Researchers have found that signatures of autofluorescence, the light naturally thrown off by biological specimens, can be used to study stem cells’ dormant state, known as quiescence.
