Scientists develop a new instrument to measure atmospheric ammonia

A new instrument measures atmospheric ammonia with high sensitivity and fast response, allowing for accurate quantification of NH3 emissions from agricultural ecosystems. The open-path design overcomes challenges faced by close-path instruments, enabling long-term and automated measurements.

How does a quantum particle see the world?

A group of researchers proved that whether an object exhibits quantum features depends on the reference frame. The physical laws, however, are still independent of it. This insight might play a role at the interplay of quantum mechanics and gravity.

Dull forest glow yields orbital tracking of photosynthesis

Scientists from Brown University have successfully linked chlorophyll fluorescence to plant photosynthesis in a deciduous forest, validating orbital measurements of fluorescence with ground-based observations. The study provides crucial ground-truth for measuring photosynthesis on a global scale from low-Earth orbit.

New technique is quantum leap forward in understanding proteins

A computational method predicts bacterial protein interactions with remarkable accuracy, identifying critical residues that bind directly with other proteins. This breakthrough enables the development of new antibiotics targeting specific protein interactions vital to pathogenic bacteria survival.
