Researchers detail for the first time the scale of threatened species that are unable to be conserved in seed banks. The paper reveals that when looking at threatened species, 36 percent of 'critically endangered' species produce recalcitrant seeds. This means they can't tolerate the drying process and therefore cannot be frozen, the key process they need to go through to be safely 'banked.' from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/2SKZ3fo

Using high-powered equipment to analyze air samples, researchers were able to get a detailed look at the molecular makeup of organic aerosols, which have a significant presence in the atmosphere. Posing risks to health and climate, these airborne particles generally fall into two categories: Primary organic aerosols that can form during combustion, such as in car and truck exhaust, and secondary organic aerosols that result from oxidation of organic gases and particles in the air. from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/2zsHR5C

From the standpoint of heart health, the Tsimane are a model group. A population indigenous to the Bolivian Amazon, the Tsimane demonstrate next to no heart disease. They have minimal hypertension, low prevalence of obesity and and their cholesterol levels are relatively healthy. And those factors don't seem to change with age. from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/2PF98vP

For future technologies such as quantum computers and quantum encryption, the experimental mastery of complex quantum systems is inevitable. Scientists have now succeeded in making another leap. While physicists are trying to increase the number of so-called qubits, the other researchers are pursuing the idea to use more complex quantum systems. The developed methods and technologies could in the future enable the teleportation of complex quantum systems. from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/2F4iiOn

Scientists determine the whole structure of the condensin protein complex, which helps to organize DNA throughout the life cycle of a cell. By combining sequence and limited structural data, they settle a controversy over whether the condensin protein complex is made of a single ring or a molecular 'handcuff.' from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/2P8L9Wo

The trick to boosting crops in drought-prone, food-insecure areas of West Africa could be a ubiquitous native shrub that persists in the toughest of growing conditions. Growing these shrubs side-by-side with the food crop millet increased millet production by more than 900 percent. from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/2SGnryO
