Snowflake accelerations mysteriously follow a predictable pattern
A winter wonderland calls to mind piles of fluffy, glistening snow. But to reach the ground, snowflakes are swept into the turbulent atmosphere, swirling through the air instead of plummeting directly to the ground......»»
From urchin crushing to lab-grown kelp, efforts to save California"s kelp forests show promise

Creating a C4-like vein pattern in rice by manipulating SHORT ROOT and auxin levels
C4 plants are distinguished by a unique leaf structure known as Kranz anatomy, characterized by inner vascular bundle sheath cells and outer mesophyll cells. This specialized arrangement confers C4 plants with several advantages over C3 plants, inclu.....»»
Ocean acidification creates legacy of stress for red abalone, study finds
Stressful childhoods can affect an individual's adult years and influence future generations. Scientists at the University of California, Davis, found a similar pattern holds true for red abalone exposed as babies, and again as adults, to the stress.....»»
