Imagine plants not just sipping nutrients dissolved in water, but actually munching on tiny mineral particles straight from the soil. A study sheds light on how wheat and lettuce aren’t just passive feeders—they actively grab, transport, and utilize solid minerals from their roots all the way to their shoots. Imagine plants not just sipping nutrients dissolved…
Communication and coordination among different cells are fundamental aspects that regulate many functions in our body. This process, known as paracrine signaling, involves the release of signaling molecules by a cell into its extracellular matrix (ECM) or surroundings to communicate changes in its cellular processes or the local environment. These signaling molecules are then detected…
As formal employment opportunities are rare in impoverished regions, entrepreneurship is considered a key alternative to help people in such regions improve their livelihoods. Many development organizations have adopted a market-based approach to alleviating poverty, offering entrepreneurship education and training programs to help microentrepreneurs innovate in their businesses. As formal employment opportunities are rare in impoverished…
Historical and ethnographic sources depict use of portable braced shaft weapons, or pikes, in megafauna hunting and defense during Late Holocene millennia in North and South America, Africa, Eurasia and Southeast Asia. The post Study: Clovis People Used Planted Pikes for Hunting of Megaherbivores appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News. Historical and ethnographic sources…

There’s a link between Earth’s ocean salinity and its climate. Salinity can have a dramatic effect on the climate of any Earth-like planet orbiting a sun-like star. But what about exoplanets around M-dwarfs? There’s a link between Earth’s ocean salinity and its climate. Salinity can have a dramatic effect on the climate of any Earth-like planet…
