The study, published in Scientific Reports, used computer simulation to study how genetic diversity affected the yield of hybrid varieties in self-pollinating crops.

Researchers from The University of Western Australia's Institute of Agriculture and University of Edinburgh's Roslin Institute have discovered that high levels of genetic diversity and dominant genes in grain crops such as wheat, barley or rice leads to the production of greater yields in hybrid var...

A theoretical study suggests that cooling, as a first step before heating, may be the fastest way to warm up certain materials.

To heat a slice of pizza, you probably wouldn't consider first chilling it in the fridge. But a theoretical study suggests that cooling, as a first step before heating, may be the fastest way to warm up certain materials. In fact, such precooling could lead sometimes to exponentially faster heating,...

Ever since graphene's discovery in 2004, scientists have looked for ways to put this talented, atomically thin 2-D material to work.

Ever since graphene's discovery in 2004, scientists have looked for ways to put this talented, atomically thin 2-D material to work. Thinner than a single strand of DNA yet 200 times stronger than steel, graphene is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat, and it can conform to any number of....
