A research team has developed an advanced deep learning model, LKNet, to improve the accuracy of rice panicle counting in dense crop canopies.
A research team has developed a cost-effective method to measure wheat plant height in unprecedented detail using drone-based cross-circling oblique (CCO) imaging and 3D canopy modeling.
Scientists discovered deep-sea microbes using bio-electrical conductors to collaborate and consume methane, a potent greenhouse gas, before it escapes into the atmosphere. This is the first direct evidence of how these natural marine microbial partners [DJ1] transmit electricity between cells. Understanding how these electric microbial partnerships work could inspire new approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
What if you never had to worry about recharging your devices again? The University of Ottawa has just made a major advance in the area of betavoltaic batteries. Imagine a world where a heart pacemaker works for your whole life on its own. Such an innovation could revolutionize daily life!
A study on calcium bioavailability by researchers with the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station show that two calcium availability tests — a classic approach and a newer, speedier test — offer reliable results that can help poultry producers optimize calcium digestibility.
A University of Massachusetts Amherst kinesiologist has received a five-year, $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to advance his research on how myosin molecules—molecular motors crucial for muscle contraction— work together to drive different processes within cells.
