In a groundbreaking study that explores the complex interactions between cyanobacterial blooms and aquatic ecosystems, researchers are examining the effects of cyanobacterial growth and decline on dissolved organic matter and endogenous nutrient release at the sediment–water interface. The study, titled "Effects of Cyanobacterial Growth and Decline on Dissolved Organic Matter and Endogenous Nutrients Release at the Sediment–Water Interface," is led by Prof. Tao Huang from the School of Resources and Environmental Engineering at Anhui University in Hefei, China, and the Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Wetland Ecosystem Protection and Restoration. This research offers valuable insights into the ecological and environmental impacts of cyanobacterial blooms.

With the rise of renewable energy and electric vehicles, hydrogen-powered vehicles have attracted growing interest. Prof. Molly Mengjung Li, Assistant Professor of the Department of Applied Physics at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University is dedicated to researching ammonia as a hydrogen carrier and has recently developed a highly efficient, low-cost catalyst, helping to advance the practical adoption of hydrogen vehicles. 

In zebrafish, researchers at the CRCHUM discover that the RFC1 gene plays a key role in the development of the brain region that coordinates movement.

Leaf trichomes—tiny hair-like structures on leaves—play a crucial role in protecting plants from environmental stress and insect pests. 

The quality and effectiveness of medicinal herbs depend not only on their genetic blueprint but also on how they adapt to shifting climates. 

A joint study by Wroclaw Medical University and Duke University School of Medicine, published in the European Journal of Heart Failure, shows that faster lymph flow in the legs is linked to a better response to diuretics in patients with acute heart failure. Using indocyanine green lymphography, researchers demonstrated that efficient lymphatic drainage supports fluid removal and may determine treatment success. The findings position the lymphatic system as a potential new therapeutic target in managing heart failure.

Recently, a team of Estonian scientists published a study that may revolutionize how we analyze fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) measurements and address one of the major weaknesses in this approach. They used powerful computational tools originally built for artificial intelligence, but instead of relying on AI's "black box" methods, they applied these tools to optimize transparent, physics-based models.

In a pioneering study that explores innovative solutions for soil salinization, researchers are investigating the effects of subsurface organic fertilization on microbial necromass accumulation in saline soils. The study, titled "Subsurface Application of Organic Ameliorant in Saline Soils Increases Microbial Necromass Accumulation in Mineral-Associated Organic Matter," is led by Prof. Yuyi Li from the State Key Laboratory of Efficient Utilization of Arable Land in China at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Beijing, China. This research offers valuable insights into how subsurface organic fertilization can enhance soil health and mitigate the impacts of salinization.
