A breakthrough in genetic research may have found a way to control Fusarium wilt, a devastating disease threatening the global supply of bananas. The disease has already wiped out other banana varieties and devastated production in the 1950s. Researchers discovered that the current strain didn’t evolve from the previous one and identified genes responsible for … Read more
People wear the self-care T-shirt but rarely practice it. The concept has been oversimplified, making it seem like a luxury rather than a necessity. However, self-care is not just about bubble baths and fancy brunches; it’s about taking care of yourself daily, just as you would for someone you love. The truth is, many people … Read more
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a breakthrough material that can withstand the harsh conditions inside nuclear fusion reactors, significantly increasing their lifespan. The innovative solution involves lining the reactor vessels with nanoparticles of ceramic compounds, which absorb helium atoms produced during the fusion reaction. Helium atoms are a major challenge … Read more
