For the first time, an international team of scientists has discovered the true origin of sodium salt in pristine Amazon air.
The number of copies of genes a poplar tree has influences its traits.
Across ecosystems, microbial traits are preserved along lineages, much like in multicellular organisms, and can improve the development of soil models and more.

Ultrafast X-rays track how associated pairs of atoms find new locations when triggered by light.
Low-power ultraviolet light manipulation of superconductivity may lead to next-generation quantum devices.
Built with detector technologies used in nuclear physics experiments, the system monitors radiation treatments in hard-to-reach areas.
Penetrating X-ray mapping technique measures atomic character of crack propagation, which could lead to tougher metals.
A new path is identified to keep lithium in its place during battery discharge, benefitting efforts to design better energy storage options.
Dark fiber lays groundwork for long-distance earthquake detection and groundwater mapping.
The Dark Energy Survey has delivered dark energy constraints combining information from four of its primary cosmological probes for the first time, an approach that may help design other experiments into cosmic acceleration.
