Can gravitational fields break and reconnect? Einstein's equations suggest they canMore than a century after Einstein first devised the equations that describe gravity, physicists are still finding new ways of interpreting them. Luca Comisso, an associate research scientist in Columbia University's departments…Urban street trees lose much of their capacity to cool during droughtsThe combination of heat waves and drought markedly reduces the capacity of street trees to cool the air in Mediterranean cities. The lack of soil moisture severely restricts plant transpiration, reducing the thermal relief…Launch of global seed platform to tackle native seed bottleneck holding back nature restorationOn Oct. 13, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBG Kew) launched the Seed Portal for Online Data (SeedPOD), a new open-access platform designed to tackle bottlenecks affecting global ecological restoration, by making native seed…Japan's genome-editing law sets a global ethics challengeA Hiroshima University researcher contends that Japan's newly enacted law regulating human genome-edited embryos and germ cells marks a significant advance in the governance of reproductive genome editing. Tsutomu Sawai…Against all expectations, researchers control the magnetic core of a single atomResearchers at Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands) have succeeded in controlling the magnetism in the nucleus of a single atom with radio waves. This came as a surprise: until now, physicists believed that this…Nature-inspired additive could help protect living cells during freezing and thawingIn Australia, around 2,000 people are on the waiting list to receive an organ transplant, but thanks to new research being undertaken at the University of New England (UNE), this number could someday be significantly reduced.This page holds the headline and a short snippet as published by Phys.org, whose feed they came from.
