A new role for nitrate reductase in regulating nitrogen-responsive nodulation

Certain plants, including legumes, form specialized organs called root nodules, where they establish symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This root nodule symbiosis enables plants to use atmospheric nitrogen for growth, reducing their dependence on nitrogen fertilizers. Applying this characteristic is highly promising for developing sustainable agricultural systems.

AI boosts sensitivity to double-Higgs signatures occurring about once per trillion collisions

Is the universe as stable as we think it is? That's one of the big questions that particle physicists worldwide are preparing to answer with the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC—the world's most powerful particle accelerator—when its upgrade is completed in about four years. In the meantime, researchers, including a cohort at the University of Michigan, are working to sharpen their analytical tools and techniques to make the most of the LHC's current and future data.
