NASA studies crops, forest response to changing rainfall patterns
Pasadena CA (JPL) Dec 16, 2024
A new NASA-led study has found that how rain falls in a given year is nearly as important to the world's vegetation as how much. Reporting Dec. 11 in Nature, the researchers showed that even in years with similar rainfall totals, plants fared differently when that water came in fewer, bigger bursts.
In years with less frequent but more concentrated rainfall, plants in drier environments li

A connection between quantum theory and information theory demonstrated
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Dec 08, 2024
"Our results have no clear or direct application right now. It's basic research that lays the foundation for future technologies in quantum information and quantum computers. There's enormous potential for completely new discoveries in many different research fields," says Guilherme B Xavier, researcher in quantum communication at Linkoping University, Sweden.

Particle that only has mass when moving in one direction observed for first time
University Park PA (SPX) Dec 11, 2024
For the first time, scientists have observed a collection of particles, also known as a quasiparticle, that's massless when moving one direction but has mass in the other direction. The quasiparticle, called a semi-Dirac fermion, was first theorized 16 years ago, but was only recently spotted inside a crystal of semi-metal material called ZrSiS. The observation of the quasiparticle opens the doo
