Researchers have made DNA storage rewritable, overcoming one of its biggest limitations. The breakthrough could turn DNA into a practical alternative to today’s energy-hungry data centers.

For decades, scientists have relied on tree rings to estimate how long trees can live. But new research suggests that this widely used method may have been underestimating the lifespan of many ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

A Purdue University digital forestry team has created a computational tool to obtain and analyze urban tree inventories on ...

Last year, a team of scientists presented evidence that spruce trees in Italy’s Dolomite mountains synchronized their bioelectrical activity in anticipation of a partial solar eclipse—a potentially ...

In this twist on Cooking with Carson, we haul and review four Dollar Tree Science Kits from the Science for Kids brand. These experiments are one dollar each and perfect for learning and play when ...

Martin Brook receives funding from the Natural Hazards Commission. In the days since last week’s fatal landslides at Mount Maunganui, there has been widespread discussion about what may have caused ...

WASHINGTON D.C., DC — Hazardous conditions are expected throughout much of the nation as a major winter storm continues to take shape this week. Days ahead of the storm’s expected arrival, there were ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Existing algorithms can partially reconstruct the shape of a single tree from a clean point-cloud dataset acquired by laser-scanning technologies. Doing the same with forest ...

Trees are known for capturing carbon dioxide as they grow. But they also soak up other gases implicated in climate change through microbes in their bark. The tree bark microbes feast on hydrogen, ...
