Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 06, 2024
Land plants, which dominate our planet's landscape, have developed from simple organisms into complex forms with diverse organs and cell types. This transformation, supported by a vast network of genes, facilitates the intricate shaping of plant structures through various molecular processes. This significant evolution began with a singular event-plant terrestrialization-when ancestors of

Private investment fuels race for nuclear fusion power in US
Write a comment
New York (AFP) May 6, 2024
Spurred on by major technological advances and huge private investment, the United States' nuclear fusion sector could be producing electricity within ten years, industry players say. The process, which powers the Sun, sees two atomic nuclei combine - and release massive amounts of energy. But private companies on Earth are also hoping decades of research might finally culminate in fusion p

The farside of the Moon has long been a subject of intrigue, particularly because it remains hidden from view on Earth. The most notable aspect of the Moon is the distinct difference in composition, crust thickness, and volcanic activity between the nearside and farside. The origin of these asymmetries remains unresolved, primarily due to a lack of samples from the farside, representing a major
