Impact of climate change on water resources will increase price tag to decarbonize the grid

A new study warns that current plans to achieve zero emissions on the grid by 2050 vastly underestimate the required investments in generation and transmission infrastructure. The reason: these plans do not account for climate change's impacts on water resources. Specifically, changes in water availability caused by climate change could decrease hydropower generation by up to 23% by the year 2050, while electricity demand could increase by 2%.

Study finds genetic mechanisms behind high-yield apple trees

Apples rank among the world's most valuable fruit crops, with production spanning more than 100 countries. Some apple trees naturally develop into what farmers call 'spur-type' varieties -- compact trees that are more productive and easier to maintain. But the genetic mechanisms underlying this coveted trait have remained elusive -- until now.

Phages, towards a targeted alternative to antibiotics

With the rapid development of antibiotics in the 1930s, phage therapy -- using viruses known as bacteriophages or phages to tackle bacterial infections -- fell into oblivion. But as the current rise in antibiotic resistance is making it increasingly difficult to treat bacterial infections, phage therapy is once again sparking interest among physicians and scientists -- although it remains complex in practice because of the great diversity and specificity of phages.

S&P keeps India's FY25 growth forecast at 6.8%

S&P Global Ratings maintains India's FY25 GDP growth forecast at 6.8% but lowers projections for FY26 and FY27 to 6.7% and 6.8%, respectively. High interest rates and reduced fiscal support are expected to dampen urban demand. While PMIs signal expansion, recent indicators suggest softening growth due to a construction sector downturn.

Cars are polluting less — but for how long?

Cars are getting more efficient and less polluting, resulting in better air quality for everyone, according to a new report from the Environmental Protection Agency. But with a new administration coming in that has made climate change and air pollution less of a priority — and drilling for more fossil fuels more of one — it’s unclear how sustainable this trend will be.

Chromosomal chaos promotes therapy resistance in leukemia cells and opens up new treatment approaches

Chromosomal instability plays a crucial role in the progression of cancer: it shapes the properties of tumor cells and drives the development of therapy resistance. Scientists used state-of-the-art single-cell analysis methods to analyze the cellular heterogeneity of a specific form of acute myeloid leukemia. Their data show how genetic and non-genetic factors determine the functional heterogeneity of blood cancer cells and reveal new therapeutic targets.

The job Norris still has to do in F1 2024

Something rather important happened for McLaren and Lando Norris at the end of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. That’s in addition to mathematically losing the world championship to Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, which had really gone in the wild Brazilian wetness and the Dutchman’s brilliance there.This was how Norris lifted his pace on his second set of hard tyres. His delta tracks remarkably close ...Keep reading
