An evolutionary battleground: Plants vs. microbes

Gazing out on a freshwater pond, you may see tiny green plants with oval-shaped leaves floating in clusters. In overgrown ponds, these plants coat the water's surface. These plants—called duckweed or water lentils—can grow so fast that they can double their numbers in just one to two days. But what you can't see in that pond is the evolutionary battle between the plants and microbes trying to invade them.

Combination and summary of ATLAS dark matter searches within 2HDM+a framework

In the 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed that the velocities of galaxies in the Coma Cluster were too high to be maintained solely by the gravitational pull of luminous matter. He proposed the existence of some non-luminous matter within the galaxy cluster, which he called dark matter. This discovery marked the beginning of humanity's understanding and study of dark matter.

Researchers achieve efficient electro-oxidation of glycerol to formate under room temperature

Glycerol is a key byproduct of biodiesel fabrication, and its production has increased proportionally with the growth of biodiesel production. Glycerol electrooxidation is considered as an innovative strategy due to its low theoretical potential and the elimination of the need for external toxic oxidative agents, pressurized oxygen, and high temperature.
