The Pacific oyster has taken over in the Swedish west coast county of Bohuslän. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have found that the invasive species accounts for two-thirds of the biomass of all mussel and oyster species. This is not necessarily a bad thing, except for beachgoers, who can cut themselves easily on the razor-sharp s...

A parabolic dish on the EPFL campus is easily overlooked, resembling a satellite dish or other telecommunications infrastructure. But this dish is special, because it works like an artificial tree. After concentrating solar radiation nearly 1,000 times, a reactor above the dish uses that sunlight to convert water into valuable and renewable h...

Revealing DNA resection regulatory mechanisms during meiosis and its application for barley breeding
Barley is one of the world's most widely-cultivated cereals. To improve hardiness, yield, or other desired traits, barley breeders cross different varieties to enrich beneficial genes. This is achieved through a process known as homologous recombination, which results in genetic diversity through the exchange of materials between chromosomes....
