Could microscopic soil roundworm compounds really protect major crops from pests and pathogens?

Protecting crops from pests and pathogens without using toxic pesticides has been a longtime goal of farmers. Researchers at Boyce Thompson Institute have found that compounds from an unlikely source – microscopic soil roundworms – could achieve this aim. As described in research published in the May 2019 issue of Journal of Phytopathology, these compounds helped protect major

The promise of algal biofuels increases with bioreactors on a chip

For over a decade, companies have promised a future of renewable fuel from algae. Investors interested in moving the world away from fossil fuel have contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to the effort, and with good reason. Algae replicate quickly, requiring little more than water and sunlight to accumulate to massive amounts, which then
