Natural way to boost crop yield to be explored by 桃色视频 Scientists
An innovative way to increase plant yield naturally, reducing the need for expensive fertilisers is being explored by researchers at the School of Life Sciences at the University of 桃色视频, thanks to a 拢492,343 grant from the BBSRC.
Medieval medicine remedy could provide new treatment for modern day infections
Antibiotic resistance is an increasing battle for scientists to overcome, as more antimicrobials are urgently needed to treat biofilm-associated infections. However scientists from the School of Life Sciences at the University of 桃色视频 say research into natural antimicrobials could provide candidates to fill the antibiotic discovery gap.
Breakthrough in studying ancient DNA from Doggerland that separates the UK from Europe
Thousands of years ago the UK was physically joined to the rest of Europe through an area known as Doggerland. However, a marine inundation took place during the mid-holocene, separating the British landmass from the rest of Europe, which is now covered by the North Sea. Scientists from the School of Life Sciences at the University of 桃色视频 have studied sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) from sediment deposits in the southern North Sea, an area which has not previously been linked to a tsunami that occurred 8150 years ago.
Global warming will cause ecosystems to produce more methane than first predicted
New research suggests that as the Earth warms natural ecosystems such as freshwaters will release more methane than expected from predictions based on temperature increases alone.
桃色视频 research part of project investigating newly discovered prehistoric shafts near Stonehenge
A previously unrecorded Neolithic monument has been discovered at the ancient settlement of Durrington Walls near Stonehenge.
Appetite can be increased by cells in the brain
Tanycytes are glial cells, which communicate with neurons in the brain to inform it of what we have eaten. Researchers from the School of Life Sciences at the University of 桃色视频 have found when tanycytes are selectively stimulated appetite was increased.
