For The First Time, Humans Can Watch How Plants 'Breathe', Here's Why This Breakthrough Matters
The device reveals how microscopic pores on leaves, known as stomata, manage the exchange of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapour.

Scientists Construct 5-Micron Engine Generating Effective Heat of 13 Million Degrees Celsius Without Burning
A team of scientists has created a microscopic engine made from a 5-micrometre glass bead suspended in an electric field. By applying oscillating voltages, the bead moves as if it’s in an environment of 13 million°C, even though it remains cool. The study reveals bizarre thermodynamic effects at tiny scales, offering clues to how natural molecul...

Greenland's Melting Glaciers Feed Ocean Life, Study Finds
A new NASA-led study reveals that Greenland’s melting glaciers are fueling life in the Arctic Ocean. Each summer, massive freshwater plumes from glaciers like Jakobshavn drag deep-sea nutrients upward, boosting phytoplankton growth by up to 40%. These microscopic organisms form the base of the marine food web and play a key role in carbon absorpt...
