Adelaide University researchers have demonstrated that a naturally derived seaweed compound can dramatically reduce methane emissions from beef cattle raised in extensive grazing systems, without harming calves.

Curious how robot swarms can operate far longer in 6G edge computing setups? A new Engineering study reveals a smart subset selection strategy that taps into data correlation between robots, cutting redundant data transmission and energy waste. Tested across key wireless channels, the method boosts swarm lifetime by up to 650%—a game-changer for real-world robotic deployments from disaster recovery to agriculture.

Prescribed burning, when combined with tree retention, can effectively support natural regeneration in managed boreal forests, new research shows. The study demonstrates that post-fire seedling establishment remains strong across key commercial species, Scots pine and birch, suggesting that integrating these practices may help reconcile biodiversity goals with sustainable forest management.
