Monrovia, UN Drive– April 24, 2024 – The Liberia Intellectual Property Office (LIPO) has signed an MOU with the Central Agricultural Research Institute (CARI) for the establishment of the Technology and Innovation Support Center (TISC). The TISC at CARI, which will be supported by the World Intellectual Property Organization, would facilitate unhindered access to highly []
Another Satellite Option Coming for Precision Agriculture Precision agriculture can boost productivity, save time and can even be better for the environment by reducing the amount of pesticides and fertilizer used. But many precision ag applications need good connectivity to cloud-based support software. As news from agricultural Telecompetitor
France's Framatome and Germany's Technical University of Munich have agreed to establish the industrialisation process for the manufacture of monolithic molybdenum-uranium fuel for the university's FRM II research reactor. Framatome noted this low-enriched fuel will benefit from the highest uranium fuel density ever realised in Europe for research reactor operations.
The EU wants to ensure greater sustainability in agricultural trade with the Global South—with the aim of minimizing the environmental and climate-damaging effects of importing crops such as soya, palm oil, coffee, and cocoa. However, this aspiration is often not fulfilled in practice.
Flow-through reactors packed with enzymes can produce certain chemicals in a gentle and careful way. However, their performance has so far been limited. A research team from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon and RWTH Aachen University has now been able to increase the yield a thousandfold.
Experts estimate that the giant creature would have been more than 25 metres long.
A research paper published in Science Advances reveals a direct correlation between plastic production and plastic pollution, such that every 1% increase in plastic production is associated with a 1% increase in plastic pollution in the environment.
A team of researchers led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst has drawn inspiration from a wide variety of natural geometric motifs—including those of 12-sided dice and potato chips—in order to extend a set of well-known design principles to an entirely new class of spongy materials that can self-assemble into precisely controllable structures.
Humans, Homo sapiens, have unique features compared with other closely related hominin species and primates, including the shape of the base of the skull. The evolutionary changes underlying these features were significant in allowing the evolution of our increased brain size.
University of Iowa researchers identified a connection between a routine treatment for Parkinson’s disease and a tendency for some patients to develop increased impulsivity located around a specific brain region in a study published March 4. The research identified the subthalamic nucleus as a structure in the brain that specifically contributes to attention deficiencies, though
Using data from various space telescopes and astronomical surveys, Armenian researchers have investigated three star-forming regions. The study identified hundreds of young stellar objects and provided important information regarding the stellar content of these regions. The new findings were presented in a paper published April 5 in the Astrophysics and Space Science journal.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER (FL), April 25, 2024 – Arthritis is a crippling disease, affecting approximately one in four adults. It wreaks havoc on our joints by breaking down cartilage, the cushioning between bones. Once that cartilage deteriorates, there’s no way to replace it. However, all this might soon change, thanks to a new investigation led by biomedical … Read More → "ISS National Lab-Sponsored Research Could Produce Nanomaterials for Life-Saving Therapies and Precision Drug Delivery"
