Study Uncovers a Molecular ‘maturation Clock’ That Modulates Branching Architecture in Tomato Plants
The secret to pushing tomato plants to produce more fruit might not lie in an extra dose of Miracle-Gro. Instead, new research from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) suggests that an increase in fruit yield might be achieved by manipulating a molecular...
UCLA Scientists Engineer Blood Stem Cells to Fight Melanoma
Researchers from UCLA’s cancer and stem cell centers have demonstrated for the first time that blood stem cells can be engineered to create cancer-killing T-cells that seek out and attack a human melanoma. The researchers believe the approach could...
Eskom Embarks on Pilot Solar Project

Financial strain and competing priorities at home may contribute to the greater number of hospital readmissions of children with asthma from single-parent homes compared to dual-parent households, according to a new study presented at the American College...How Do Green Algae React to Carbon Nanotubes?
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are up to 100,000 times thinner than a human hair and as light as plastic. Despite this they have a higher tensile strength than steel, are harder than diamond and conduct electricity better than copper. These properties make CNTs...Aluminum Alloy Overcomes Obstacles on the Path to Making Hydrogen a Practical Fuel Source
Hydrogen offers great promise as a renewable energy source. It’s staggeringly plentiful (the most abundant element in the Universe) and environmentally friendly (used in a fuel cell, it gives off only water). Unfortunately, storing and transporting...
